love a Japanese person and tell them so in their language? Excellent! This article guides someone sweet like you through the delicate business of the Japanese love language.</strong></h3><p>“We don’t really say ‘I love you’ in Japanese, do we?” I asked my Japanese friends. “No, not really”, said everyone I’d asked. There are equivalent phrases in Japanese, and you see and hear them a lot in films, TV shows, books, or anime. But those are not part of our everyday language.</p><p>Then how do Japanese people express love? And how would YOU tell your beloved Japanese person you love them?</p><p>Rest assured; in this post, you’ll learn the cultural context and some useful phrases so your words won't be taken as inappropriate or over the top.</p><p></p><h4><strong>Table of contents</strong></h4><ul><li><a href=\"#cat-mind\" target=\"_self\">Keep these in mind when using the Japanese love language</a><ul><li><a href=\"#cat-polite\" target=\"_self\">Status matters: polite and casual expressions</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-culture\" target=\"_self\">Love expression in the Japanese culture</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-reality\" target=\"_self\">Media vs reality</a></li></ul></li><li><a href=\"#cat-how\" target=\"_self\">How to say I love you in Japanese</a><ul><li><a href=\"#cat-basics\" target=\"_self\">The basics</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-romantic\" target=\"_self\">Seriously, romantically, “I love you.”</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-confess\" target=\"_self\">Confessing love</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-like\" target=\"_self\">How to say I like you in Japanese</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-feelings\" target=\"_self\">You make me feel…</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-marry\" target=\"_self\">Will you marry me?</a></li></ul></li><li><a href=\"#cat-songs\" target=\"_self\">Japanese love songs</a></li><li><a href=\"#cat-quotes\" target=\"_self\">Love quotes / proverbs</a></li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p><h2 id=\"cat-mind\">Keep these in mind when using the Japanese love language</h2><p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltacc1a01c4d280f24/bltc4b371819842b5a2/64ed50f2ae5a4bd28f84be37/I-love-you-in-japanese.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;format=pjpg&amp;quality=80&amp;\" alt=\"A man sings a love sone to his girlfriend in Japanese.\" /></p><h3 id=\"cat-polite\"><strong>Status matters: polite and casual expressions</strong></h3><p>Whenever you speak Japanese, the relationship between you and the person/people you talk to determines the type of language you use. You’re expected to use polite language if the person has a higher status, is a stranger, or is not close to you. With your peers or people who are younger than you, casual language would sound natural. This rule applies to the Japanese love language, too.</p><p>For instance, to your teacher, senior coworker, or parent-in-law, it's recommended to use polite language. People may use polite language to show their seriousness, regardless of the status of the listener.</p><p>There are several ways to address ‘you’ in Japanese. Here are the basic ones;</p><p>君 (きみ - kimi)<br />This can be used only to call someone who is your peer or has lower status than you.</p><p>あなた (あなた - anata)<br />This is a polite word used to call someone who is older than you, has higher status than you, or is a stranger or unfamiliar to you.</p><p>As we’re exploring intimate language, the person’s name would sound more natural than the pronouns like ‘君’ or ‘あなた’.</p><p></p><h3 id=\"cat-culture\"><strong>Love expression in the Japanese culture</strong></h3><p>In general, Japanese people don’t verbally express their love much. It’s part of the ‘read between the lines’ culture, in which people think they’re showing love through their actions. (It can be incredibly subtle!) It may be something that shows their loyalty or kindness rather than affectionate gestures. You might’ve heard that public displays of affection are commonly not well-received in Japan, too.</p><p>This means the love language can be immensely special. If you whisper words of adoration into the ear of your Japanese love, they may respond by a) swooning, b) giggling (out of shyness, awkwardness, or thinking you’re too dramatic), or c) looking upset. It really depends on the person and the relationship between you and them.</p><p>How would you have your genuine feelings understood then?</p><p>Be yourself. Just choose your words carefully. Closely watch the reaction. If they are smiling yet look as if they have no clue what to say, it’s always good to ask how they feel. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to explore the love language you both feel comfortable with and cherish?</p><p></p><h3 id=\"cat-reality\"><strong>Media vs reality</strong></h3><p>I have a bunch of non-Japanese friends who are learning or have learned Japanese through manga and anime. It’s a fun way to study, but no matter how realistic the show seems, the characters' lines may sound theatrical or inauthentic. Often there’s a HUMONGOUS gap between everyday Japanese and media Japanese.</p><p>Translations are not always accurate, either. (AI has a long way to go to reach a decent level in this regard.) Or the translation makes sense only in the specific context. The wonder of the super-high-contextual language, that is.</p><p>It’s safe to ask your Japanese teacher or friends what the expression sounds like when it comes from you. Or if you’ve already built some trust between the Japanese person you love, just try it out and see how it goes! If it wasn’t received well, clarify that you picked the line from a show and ask for feedback. Who wouldn’t admire people aspiring to learn?</p><p></p><p><br /></p><h2 id=\"cat-how\">How to say I love you in Japanese</h2><p>Alrightie. Let’s look at some useful phrases!</p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltacc1a01c4d280f24/bltaa3014ffb8d55ead/64ed5255e61c1a4548f699e0/pexels-tristan-le-1642883.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;format=pjpg&amp;quality=80&amp;\" alt=\"I love you in Japanese.\" /></p><h3 id=\"cat-basics\"><strong>The basics</strong></h3><p>These are the basic Japanese expressions for “I love you”.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>English</strong></td><td><strong>Hiragana</strong></td><td><strong>Kanji + Hiragana</strong></td><td><strong>Romaji</strong></td><td><strong>Note</strong></td></tr><tr><td>I love you.</td><td>（きみを）あいしてる。</td><td>（君を）愛してる。</td><td>(Kimi o) Aishiteru.</td><td>Casual yet serious</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>（あなたを）あいしています。</td><td>（あなたを）愛しています。</td><td>(Anata o) Aishiteimasu.</td><td>Polite, formal, and serious</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>（きみが）だいすきだよ。</td><td>（君が）大好きだよ。</td><td>(Kimi ga) Daisukida yo.</td><td>Casual</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>（あなたが）だいすきです。</td><td>（あなたが）大好きです。</td><td>(Anata ga) Daisukidesu.</td><td>Polite</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>（きみが）すきだよ。</td><td>（君が）好きだよ。</td><td>(Kimi ga) Sukida yo.</td><td>Casual</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>（あなたが）すきです。</td><td>（あなたが）好きです。</td><td>(Anata ga) Sukidesu.</td><td>Polite</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>* Romaji: Character that represents written Japanese using the English alphabet</p><p>‘愛’ (あい - ai) literally means ‘love’ and is considered a big word. The first two phrases are rarely used in everyday conversation as they sound massively serious. If you’re indeed serious and want to stress it’s ‘love’, not just ‘like’, then go for these expressions.</p><p>‘好き’ (すき suki) means ‘like’, and the Japanese use this word more when expressing love. When someone says ‘大好き’ (だいすき - daisuki), it usually means they love someone or something, though it may or may not indicate romantic feelings.</p><p>Is ‘好き’ alone enough to show your love? It depends on the context and your non-verbal expressions. If you look someone in the eye so devotedly and say “好きだよ” — it might make their heart pound.</p><p>‘よ’ (yo) comes at the end of a phrase in a casual expression. It indicates you’re pretty sure about what you’re saying and that you’re really talking to the person.</p><p>Both ‘君’ (きみ - kimi) and ‘あなた’ (anata) are often omitted because it’s clear that you’re talking to this person and nobody else. Not leaving out the words in the brackets in the table would add a bit more formality.</p><p></p><p><br /></p><h3 id=\"cat-romantic\"><strong>Seriously, romantically, “I love you.”</strong></h3><p>Phrases with ‘愛’ can be perceived as dramatic, and ‘好き’ can sound like casual ‘like’.

You might say ‘好き’ to your pal, thinking they’re a good friend, and they start behaving rather awkwardly since then… One way to avoid that kind of situation is to use different words that describe your feelings more specifically. Clarifying your intention helps, too.</p><p>Look at the table below — you’ve already seen the first four phrases in the basic 'I love you' section. Is it love or like?
