Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Il love you - in many languages

Here is a list I collected approx. a year ago - not all useable, but 
most of them. At this moment I just don't have the time to start a page 
with another phrase, so if someone would like to create it on any 
wiktionary using language templates like {{en}} etc., please let us know 
the link (so we can easily transfer it). During the week-end I can 
record the sentences in German and Italian (vor St. Valentine and I love 
you).

English: I love you
Latin: Te amo
Greek: S' ayapo
French: Je t'aime
Spanish: Te quiero
Portuguese: Amo-te
Italian: Ti amo
Irish: Taim i' ngra leat
German: Ich liebe dich
Dutch: Ik houd van jou
Swedish: Jag a" lskar dig
Hebrew: Ani ohev otah / Ani ohev et otha
Russian: Ya tebya liubliu
Japanese: Kimi o ai shiteru
Chinese: Wo ie ni
Albanian: Te dua
Arabic: Ana behibek / Ana behibak
Armenian: Yes kez si'rumem
Cambodian: Kh_nhaum soro_lahn nhee_ah
Catalan: T'estimo
Bulgarian: Obicham te!
Cheyenne: Ne mohotatse
Creol: Mi aime jou

Gaelic: Ta gra agam ort
Hawaiian: Aloha wau ia oi
Hopi: Nu' umi unangwa'ta
Hungarian: Szeretlek

Lebanese: Bahibak
Lithuanian: Tave myliu
