Saying I Love You in the World's 100 Most Spoken Languages

August 16, 2019

One of the best things about traveling the world is learning a little if the local language.

It's amazing how much you can learn about a culture based on how they express themselves. There is always an expression or a word that does not exist in other languages, or that seems special based on the collective mindset of that particular culture. It is surprising to think that, throughout the years, wars and our existence as human beings, one thing remains, our method of communication using language and our ability to love.
As Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I started wondering, How do I say "I love you" in the world's most widely spoken languages? I already knew it in French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Korean and English, of course, but what about the other languages?
So here it is, after hours and hours of searching and research, we present to you How to Say I Love You In 100 Most Spoken Languages in the World:
