What are the three (or four or five or seven) most powerful words in the world? I Love You. As a little primer for those of you 1000 Fighters headed abroad this summer, we put together the best list we could find of telling another person I love you. There is something truly magical about being in a beautiful setting with the person you love, then telling them in a foreign tongue, I Love You. Happy Travels! (Keep fighting though!)

“Ma timilai maya garchu” Nepali
“Ek is Lief vir jou” – Afrikaans
“Ma timilai maya garchu” – Nepali
“Eg elsker deg” in nyNorwegian…
Love is indeed a universal language. There is nothing more romantic than
saying it from the heart. Thanks for this wonderful list. Its amazing one to
have on hand
in Norwegian it’s “Jeg elsker deg” not “Jeg elsker dek” :)
Takk skal du ha!
Yeah. Norway also have a “side-language” where the original “Jeg elsker deg” is “Eg elsker deg”. Worth noticing.
takk!
In Filipino, it’s “Mahal kita.” :) For a more formal/oldie vibe, it’s “Iniirog kita.”
Thanks Kris.
