arigatō, aishiteru
Did you know?
- Rather than using 愛してる, many Japanese people use the word 好き ('like') to express love, as it is considered more natural and less overwhelming.
- Historically, the concept of 'love' as expressed in 愛 ('ai') was viewed as a Western import and was rarely used in traditional Japanese domestic settings.
- If you wanted to be even more poetic, you might use the word 恋 (koi) instead of 愛 (ai). While 愛 refers to a deep, stable affection, 恋 often refers to the more intense, sometimes painful longing of romantic passion.
Examples in context
- いつもありがとう、愛してるよ。Itsumo arigatou, aishiteru yo.Thank you for everything, my love.
