bardzo cię kocham
The phrase "I love you so much" in Polish is bardzo cię kocham.

For a more intense, informal expression, you can say Kocham Cię naprawdę bardzo, which means "I really love you very much." If you want to be playful and affectionate, you can use the phrase Jestem mega zakochany/zakochana w Tobie, which translates to "I am mega in love with you."
How does it change in a sentence?

- In written Polish, it is common to capitalize the pronoun Cię in Bardzo Cię kocham even in the middle of a sentence. This is a gesture of respect and affection toward the person being addressed.
