The Esperanto translation in the first post is still "Ti amas vin," which is incorrect, as "ti" isn't even a word in Esperanto.

It should be "Mi amas vin."

Not sure how to do accents (for the tones), but in Cantonese Chinese, it's Ngo ngoi lei

Erm... in the German one, "leibe" shouldn't be capitalized...

So, do conlangs count? It's the only one I'd be able to add...

Niora: "Shilaki la noki."
Pronounced: "she-LA-key-la-NO-key"

In German, verbs are not capitalized unless it is at the beginning of a sentence. "Love" as a noun, "Liebe", is capitalized as nouns are always capitalized. Basically what you are saying with "Ich Liebe Dich", makes no sense, as there is no verb. "Lieben" is "love" as a verb, and when conjugated into the first person becomes "liebe". And since the spelling reformation, "du" in all its cases is no longer capitalized. Only a formal "you" is capitalized.

Ich liebe dich - informal singular

Ich liebe Sie - formal singular/formal plural

Ich liebe euch - plural


And people do still speak Latin.

On the Finnish one,"Minä rakastan sinua"
Should be pronaunced like the word "me" and then a normal "n" sound then an "a" like the 'a' in "at". The 'r' is rolled then the a' without the dots are pronaunced like the 'a' in father. The 'k' is slightly softer, and the 't' is stronger, somewhat like a 'd'. Then "see" , "new" and the 'a' in 'father'.

You could also say, "Mä rakastan sua"

How do you pronounce the Pohnepeian one?

It kind of sounds like someone pokes someone so much that they must have bile come up from their stomach to the mouth- according to English pronounciation. sweatdrop

The one for Malay is wrong. It should be "Saya cinta kamu."
"Mu" is a suffix showing possession by "you", which makes "cintamu" be "your love", so "Saya cintamu" means " I am your love". Unless that is just a set expression that I am unfamiliar with, it is not right. If who you got that from is Malaysian, go with them over me, for I R generic white guy who don't speak t3h aysin.

·:You might want to add that the Japanese don't say "I love you". "Aishiteru" sounds REALLY serious and if you said this to your girl/boyfriend they'd think you were a freak. That phrase is used ONLY when translating "I love you" from foreign movies.

What needs to be added is "Kimi ga suki" (kee-mee gah skee).
I have been to Japan (but only 3 days), I haven't heard "aishiteru" there or "aishiteruze" for that matter, yes movies and books use it. I think if you use "Suki da" or "Kimi ga suki" people won't stare at you as badly if you will.

First Post
Arabic - Ana Behibak (to man)/Ana Behibek (to woman)


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's (at least the way I would write the pronounciation) "ene beHeebek" and "ene beHeebek" the actual "e"s in the word are fuller than the ones where an "a" is... I think

And I got this off the internet, but: to a man (uħib:ukato) أُحِبُّكَ
to a woman - (uħib:uki) أُحِبُّ

According to that, it's "/eHibbke/ (pronounce the first e longer than that i and final e and hold the b longer, as it has a shedda) So, a shedda over a letter indicates that you hold that letter longer (for example, instead of saying "sided" with a short "s," pronounce it like a snake, "ssssided." With a letter like "b", it's more difficult, but it's the same concept. Don't say multiple Bs, but keep your lips closed longer

and

/eHibbu/ pronounce the e longer than the i and u, and hold the "b" longer (it has a shedda)

The "h"s on both of them are uvular. That might not be the right word... Constrict your throat muscles so that almost no air can get out, and say "h." That should be the sound you get, unless you're doing it incorrectly.

I recorded myself, so, I'll post the link up in a minute...

It's kinda confusing, but I tried to say them in order... But I'm not sure if I pronounced them all right...

I also say what a shedda sounded like.

And then, of course, there's always "Mi(?) habibi." For, my darling or my love...

Plus, if I'm wrong, please, you Arabic speakers, correct me.
