E. Tá grá agam dhuit. I love you.
Another more colorful way to express it is, "Tá mo chroí istigh ionat." I love you very much. |

D) but each has a slightly different emphasis
Gráim thú - I love you
Gráim thusa - I love you
Gráimse thú - I love you
Maidhc's E is also correct, and more usual
There are many, many poetic ways of expressing it also |

i figured that about the emphasis...
"Oh, dear...gráim thú..."
"I know I was looking at the waitress tonite, but gráim thusa!" ::door slams::
"Give him back the ring...he may have a fancy car, but gráimse thú..."
which are all different than "tá mé i ngrá leat" = I'm in love with you
"there is love at me to for you"...interesting
Thanks, all...just wanted to be sure |
