Anh yêu em mãi mãi
The English phrase "I love you forever" is translated into Vietnamese as Anh yêu em mãi mãi.
This is a romantic expression used to tell a partner that one's love for them will never end. While the full phrase includes the concept of eternity, in casual daily conversation, the part meaning "forever" is often omitted, as Anh yêu em is already considered a complete and powerful sentiment.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of Anh (older brother/I), yêu (love), em (younger sibling/you) and mãi mãi (forever).
How does it change in a sentence?
If the speaker is female and the listener is male, the pronouns must be swapped to Em yêu anh mãi mãi. Additionally, you can replace mãi mãi with suốt đời to change the nuance from "forever" to "for the rest of my life".
