"I Love You"

**Tomii515** · May 12, 2006, 06:54

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

**Minty** · May 12, 2006, 07:12

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

it's the pernounciation thing, because every word with the same romaji or whatever you call that. has four pernounciations, so those numbers indicate which pernounciation it is , so when you say it, others won't mistaken it for another word

^^ 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.

**JimmySeal** · May 12, 2006, 08:40

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

wo ai ni

**justin9213** · May 27, 2006, 13:52

我爱你
wo ai ni
I love you

probably,"予" is I in wu or cantanese

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.

actually, chinese is universally written the same. exactly the same. any literate chinese person can communicate with any other chinese person (even if they are speaking in another dialect) by writing.

**dreamer** · May 28, 2006, 02:23

Hum...even in cantonese texts I see 我 ...

**Ayaka Yukihiro** · Jun 18, 2006, 20:51

**Glenn** · Jun 19, 2006, 13:45

I'm going to guess it's 我也愛你. How close did I come?

**Cue** · Jun 19, 2006, 13:57

wow, cool! Thanks, Glenn.
...but..uh.. how do you pronounce 也? ya? -_-;

Wo ye ai ni!

Its put in between wo and ai. Its like: I also love you.

**Glenn** · Jun 19, 2006, 13:59

I should say that I'm not sure it's right, by the way.

**huayue** · Jun 19, 2006, 14:02

you are right~Glenn

**Glenn** · Jun 19, 2006, 14:07

Cool! Thanks for confirming it so quickly, huayue!

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

)

**huayue** · Jun 19, 2006, 14:10

That's an awesome name for a gal,it literately means " lovely flowers full moon " LOVELY FLOWERS under the FULL MOON.

By the way,my Chinese first name is Kanji word for LOVE with the Chinese character FEMALE/GIRL to the left of it.My pop was quite creative naming me,I haven't met any Chinese with this " unique " name to this day.

Aiko is my Japanese romaji spelling.
