Hi, everybody!
Do you know how to say 'I love you' in Hindi? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say 'I love you' and a special phrase for Valentine's Day.
Let’s start with the most common phrase.
मै तुम्हे प्यार करती हूँ
[slowly] मै तुम्हे प्यार करती हूँ
"I love you."
This phrase is direct. You should use it only when you're confessing your love.
If you want to be less direct, you can use this phrase.
तुम मेरे लिए बहुत महत्व रखती हो|
[slowly] तुम मेरे लिए बहुत महत्व रखती हो|
It means "You mean so much to me."
Now if you want to be more romantic in expressing your love for someone, you can say this phrase.
शब्द आप के लिए मेरे प्यार का वर्णन नहीं कर सकते हैं।
[slowly] शब्द आप के लिए मेरे प्यार का वर्णन नहीं कर सकते हैं।
It means "Words cannot describe my love for you."
Now you know three different ways to say 'I love you' in Hindi! And here's one more. What if you want to spend Valentine's Day with someone special? In that case, you can say...
कया तुम मेरी वैलेनटायिन बनोगी?

It means "Will you be my Valentine?"
