Je t'aime, ma sœur
Je t'aime, ma sœur is the French way to say "I love you, my sister".
This phrase is an expression of affection used to tell one's sister that they love her.
Did you know?
- In French, saying je t'aime to a sibling is much less common than in English. French speakers often use je t'adore or je t'aime beaucoup to express familial love to avoid the romantic connotations of the plain phrase.
- While je t'aime is used for a sister, adding the word bien as in je t'aime bien actually weakens the sentiment from 'I love you' to 'I like you'.
- If you were addressing a nun, you would use the same word sœur, meaning that the phrase could sound quite different depending on whether you are in a living room or a church.
Examples in context
- N'oublie pas que je t'aime, ma sœur.Don't forget that I love you, my sister.
- Je t'aime, ma sœur, tu es la meilleure.I love you, my sister, you are the best.
