Help
This board seems overrun with topics about love and rekationships, so whats one more?
I'm actually trying to make one work, not talk about a breakup, and I have everything all worked out, except one thing.
Do any of you guys know how to say: 'I Love You' in french? I tried a few translator sites, and i know they were wrong, but I can't remember what;s right.
Thanks.

You are mistaken in believing "overrun with" means the same thing as "popular".

It is "J'adore toi." If you would like to add dear, then say "J'adore toi ma cherie." Hope that helps.

Luckily this is not one of them, this is a translation topic which is truly an exotic topical breed.

Here, I will share some more useful phrases to help you out. Do you love me? is "Est-ce'que tu adore moi?" Do you love him? is "Est-ce que tu adore il?" It can go on like that for days. IT FRIGGIN SUCKS.

Using pronouns after verbs won't impress anybody that's taken more than a couple years of french. Especially if you use the wrong ones.
Not to mention being unable to spell, but that doesn't influence speaking (as much).

Why don't you use something she understands. I mean, I've been told I love you in several languages, and for all I know, he could be saying he hates me.

Unless you both took it & it's already a thing between you, French is soooooooo tacky. I'm sorry, but randomly saying something in French that (all things being equal) she probably won't understand, most likely will come across funny. Rather than using another language to sound good, try thinking of something sincere and meaningful in English... Never know how far you'll go...

My friend Caleb was trying to tell this girl he liked her. His only problem was that he was too nervous to tell her, so I suggested a myriad of languages (My personal favorite being Latin) and he choose french. I have no idea why he choose french, he simply did, and if he were to choose a corny method of expressing his feelings, anything you have to say, is completely irrelevent.
Incidentally, he decided against the whole foriegn language thing, and just asked her out, and despite my best efforts, she turned him down. (The problem is she likes me)
Such is life.
