    "I Love You"

    is this "I love you" cause my friend atr school speaks Chinese, and I was lookign in a dictionary and the pronouncing things sound the same as she said it:

    予爱你
    トミーです

    Well you got the love you bit right, but not the word I.

    Should read:I love you:我愛你

    Chinese Pinyin: wo3 ai4 ni3

    ^^ I'm guessing the tonality or pitch of the phoneme, and are you going to tell a girl that you love her!? That's pretty adventerous! ;)

    lol, no. My friend, who speaks Chinese, told me how to say it. When I saw the words, it sounded formiliar.

    They're tones. 3 is a dipping, down then up tone. 4 is a sharply falling tone.

    I speak cantonese.
    "予" doesn't mean "I"
    "予" , as I know , has a same pronunciation with "汝"
    and "汝" is a old fanshion chinese which mean "you".
    It just like Shakespeare words in English. It is a very old fanshion Chinese that people no longer use in daily life.

    This thread is awesome!
    yeah, huayue, I'm starting to feel so happy too, to see everyone says "I love you"... xD

    hey, you guys, "Wo ai niiiii", too~ xD
    (how do you say, "i love you too" in chinese??)

    Besides, I also want to hear it in other languages! (...then would it be off topic??)

    Cool! Thanks for confirming it so quickly, huayue!

    How do you write your name, anyway? 華約? (That's a wild guess )

    No, no. That's about all I can say. I think your English is way better than my Chinese.
