Japanese Translate this..!!

:sweat: ...
I heared many words for "I love you" in Japnese, for example:-

1. Watashi wa anata ga sakedesu..
2. some weird thing in "I love you" in all the world's language..
3. What was mentioned in "1/2" a song from Rurouni Kenshin..

Anyway, what I need to know is what was it said in #1? And what the real translation for "I love you" in Japanese?

Arigato ^^

 

Aren't there like three differing ways to say it?

The "½" way of saying it was "Aishiteru" and that means the same thing as "Boku wa kimi ga suki desu."

And "Kimi ga daisuki" is even more empathic that just "suki". "dai-" is a word to make things more pronounced...larger.

Heck, you can even just look the person you like straight in the eye and say, "Suki" or "Daisuki" and they should get your drift.

Anyway, it might just all be preference...but I don't hear "aishiteru" all too much in anime or conversations. But, I like it best because it has "ai" in it.

"Watashi wa anata ga sake desu"? I pervert you? Hehe, just playing.

 

Ah, I have forgotten, but "Koi" is also another way to say "love". I'm not too sure if it can be used like "aishiteru" such as "koishiteru" or whatever...but "koi" can be translated as "love" too. An example of "koi" is the Love Hina episode when Motoko had a fever and thought (prematurely, mind you) that she had a big bad thing for Urashima.

Oh, and DL, it's "daisuki" the "ga" is a way of referring to "anata" as the person subjected to being "daisuki"ed. In other words, it's there because it is saying "I love YOU". Anyone more fluent in japanese, can you use "o/wo" instead of "ga"? I would check my book myself...but...it's so far, being under my desk and everything.

 

Jackal, if you read what me an' DL wrote, you'll see that what you wrote is in that too. "Kimi" is just a plain form of "Anata", which both mean, "you". "Boku", conversely, is a plain form of saying "watashi", which is a plain form of saying "watakushi", which means "I".

"ga" pertains to whom you are emphasizing. So, if you said, "Boku wa anata ga suki desu," you'll be saying the same thing.

"suki" is "like". It can mean love. It depends. "Daisuki", if you notice, has "suki" in it as well. "Dai" is just a suffix to make something bigger. "Kirai" is "hate" while "daikirai" is "HATE." It's an emphasizing thing.

"Ai" is love. "Koi" is love. "Aishiteru", I think, is saying "to love." If you say it to a person though, knowing that you're talking from you to them, it'll mean "I love you." It all depends on how you context it.

So, you're right. "Anata ga suki desu" is "I love you." But like I said, there's also OTHER ways of saying it.
