Q: How do u say i love u

A: Literally “I love you” in Japanese is “ai shite imasu = 愛しています　= あい　して　います”, but this sounds a bit like you’ve just translated it directly from the English, and isn’t really used in Japan.

The phrase you use most often in Japanese is “大好き！　= dai suki = だい　すき = big like!”. If you hear this you’re on the right track!

Be genki,
