来自……的爱
lái zì … de ài
The English phrase "love from" is translated into Chinese as 来自……的爱 (lái zì … de ài).
来自……的爱 is a phrase used at the end of a letter, card or social media message to send affection to the recipient. It is primarily used in written correspondence rather than in spoken conversation. For more formal ways to convey affection, you might use 衷心传递爱意 to mean "Conveying love from the bottom of my heart" or 代表我（们）致以爱意 to mean "Sending love on behalf of me/us.".
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 来自 (from), a placeholder for the sender, 的 (a possessive particle) and 爱 (love).
How does it change in a sentence?
When using 来自……的爱, the sender's name or identity must be placed in the position of the ellipsis before the particle 的.

Did you know?
- While 爱 (love) is used in written messages, Chinese speakers often avoid saying the word aloud in person because it is considered an intense and heavy commitment.
- The character 爱 was simplified from the traditional version 愛, which contains the components for 'heart' in the middle, a detail often emphasized in calligraphy to show the depth of the emotion.
- Using 来自……的爱 is a relatively modern trend influenced by Western correspondence and social media, rather than a traditional Chinese epistolary custom.
