Love is considered a very strong word in Chinese
Whether that is helping out with housework, or buying them a small token to show our appreciation, like children learning Chinese classes to help support their language journey. How we express love isn’t that different between cultures we all like to support and make those we love happy.
Perhaps you remember from our earlier articles how numbers are important in Chinese culture, they can be used to express important meanings. There are many numbers that can be used to express love, although it would be weird to say this to someone, it’s common to send it as a text message.
The word to express love is 爱 (ài), and saying I love you couldn’t be even more simpler as it follows the same structure as in English ‘I love you’, so therefore, “我爱你” (wǒ ài nǐ ). However, in Chinese, love is considered a very strong word, and so it’s very rare to actually hear it being used.
It’s something to be saved for a married couple. Instead, we can say ‘I like you” using the same structure as above, “我喜欢你“ (wǒ xǐ huān nǐ ). You can also use other variations like saying you miss someone or you want to be together to express love.
