How to Say I Love You in Mandarin Chinese

Say I Love You In Mandarin

When we learn foreign languages one of the first things we always want to learn are the swear words. But, once we learn the swear words we never end up using them because they are rude - especially when spoken to a native speaker who wants to hear us say something pleasant and nice!

So, the next things we want to learn how to say are: How to Count to Ten, What is Your Name, Thank You, Good-Bye and of course I LOVE YOU!

In the following video tutorial Chinese lession I'll teach you how to say I love you in Mandarin Chinese. It's much easier than you think and after watching the video you should be able to say it perfectly!

The first character is wǒ. That means I or me. In the Chinese language there is no distinction between I or me - just one character wǒ. Be sure you say it with the third dipping tone or it will come out wrong.

The second character is for love and is pronounced ài with the fourth falling tone. Be sure you get that fourth falling tone right. If you say it with the third dipping tone you'll be saying "short" as in short height in Mandarin and not love!

The third character is for you: nǐ. Again, be sure you say that one with the third dipping tone.

So, if you put it all together you get wǒ ài nǐ or in Chinese characters: 我爱你. I have included a picture of wǒ ài nǐ below for your reference. You may watch the video over and over again until you get it.
