Uvijek ću te voljeti
The English phrase "I will always love you" is translated into Bosnian as Uvijek ću te voljeti.
While voljeti is the standard term for love, you may encounter the form Uvijek ću te ljubiti in poetic or romantic contexts, as ljubiti can also mean "to kiss" or "to caress".
How does it change in a sentence?
When addressing more than one person or using the formal "you", the pronoun te changes to vas, resulting in the form Uvijek ću vas voljeti.
Did you know?
- While voljeti is the standard word for 'love', it shares a deep root with the Bosnian word for 'will' or 'desire', volja. To love someone is linguistically linked to wanting or willing them into your life.
- While Uvijek ću te voljeti is romantic, using the formal vas in Uvijek ću vas voljeti can be used to express a profound, respectful love for an elder or a mentor, rather than just a plural group.
- While English uses 'will' to show the future, the Bosnian ću is a helping verb that specifically marks the future tense, acting like a mathematical signal for time.
