I think that as we share different ways of saying something; it is good to say them from the perspective of actual word usage.

e.g. there are hindi words to say “I love you” but when I said it to my husband, I used the english. Even in HIndi movies, they'll say-“I love you.”

In movies, we hear:
“Mujhe tumssay mohabbat ho gaye” [I have falled in love with you] in Urdu.

“Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya” [I have falled in love with you] in Hindi.

But does anyone actually say that to each other? No way of knowing this!


Bengali is LOVELY…Spoken in the eastern state of Bengal, India; they say:

aami tomake bhalobashi.

No idea how I know this!!!!

In German it's:
Ich liebe Dich (informally) or
Ich liebe Sie (formally)

Arabic:

(Ana) bahabbik (to a female)

Swedish:
