I love you sounds beautiful in every language. Here are a hundred of them, from neighboring languages to ones from the other side of the world, with a reading in Latin letters for scripts most of us can't read. Where the phrase changes depending on who says it to whom, we've noted that too. Copy the one you like and surprise someone.

How to use I love you in another language
- A language from your story
I love you in the language of the country of your first trip together is worth more than any translation.
- Check the pronunciation
If you say it out loud, listen to a recording online first. The wrong stress can sound funny.
- For a special date
One language a day, a hundred days in a row. A lovely challenge for an anniversary.
