love languages: I love you in 101 different languages
Love is complicated. In a world where everyone is becoming increasingly connected, people from all over the world get to know each other and fall in love with each other. But if you notice someone making your heart jump, sometimes a few bumps need to be overcome. Language, for example, can be a big barrier (although love conquers everything in the end!). To help you, I’ve listed a few love phrases. Forget Cupid, just approach your future other half yourself!

When someone says ” sei una ragazza di acqua e sapone ” to you, which literally means that you are “a girl of soap and water”, that’s a compliment: you have the girl-next-door look. You don’t need any makeup – soap and water is enough.
3. Spanish
I love you – te quiero / te amo
Honey – corazon (This literally means “heart.” Nice, isn’t it, such a far-reaching comparison?)

I love you – eu te amo
Dearest – querido or chuchu (this literally means “chayote,” a vegetable)
Que saudade – There is no literal English translation for this (yep, it’s one of those). But you can say this when you miss someone to the point of desperation, when it almost hurts your heart. You can say “Que saudade!” when you remember your very first pet, or think about your sweetheart who is on the other side of the planet. Many Brazilians close their emails with “aaudades”, which means they miss you terribly.
