Romance and love can be expressed in many different ways, from sayings that show your appreciation, your admiration, and your affection for someone. There are many ways to say to someone ‘I love you’, and Romanians have developed a plethora of phrases to express their feelings. Here we present to you the most romantic ones.

Te iubesc

Same as ‘I love you’, ‘te iubesc’ is the common form of expressing your feelings of love for someone. Nothing similar with French ‘je t’aime‘, Spanish ‘te amo‘, Italian ‘ti amo‘, the expression comes from the ‘a iubi’ verb, derived from the old Slavic word ‘ljubiti’.
