私も大好きだよ
watashi mo daisuki da yowoman speaking, warm
A woman can answer a boy with 私も大好きだよ (watashi mo daisuki da yo), "I love you too". A man answering a boy would say 僕も好きだよ (boku mo suki da yo). It is also called 私も愛してる (watashi mo aishiteru).
Meaning: replying to a boy who said he loves you (phrase)
Ways to say it
| Japanese | Romanization | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 私も大好きだよ | watashi mo daisuki da yo | woman speaking, warm |
| 僕も好きだよ | boku mo suki da yo | man speaking, warm |
| 私も愛してる | watashi mo aishiteru | woman speaking, strong |
The key word is も (mo), which means "too" and goes after the pronoun. Replace 私 (watashi) with 僕 (boku) or 俺 (ore) if a man is speaking. Leaving out the pronoun, 私も (watashi mo) can shrink to just 私も in short replies.
Which one should you use?
愛してる (aishiteru) as in 私も愛してる (watashi mo aishiteru) is a strong reply. For a young boyfriend, 大好き (daisuki) is the natural level.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
In polite speech, use 私も好きです (watashi mo suki desu).
