The same as in English!
However, the irish phrase is (for example, there is more than one way to say it)
Tá grá agam duit.
It would be more usual to say something like - you are my (some word for loved one) e.g.
Is tú mo rún |

If you mean how is it said in Irish ...
Tá grá agam duit.
Ní maith é an duine a bheith leis féin.

You can also say "tá mo chroí istigh ionat".
Tír Chonaill abú!

quote:Mo chuach thú! An-ghar do "You're my main squeeze!" Literally, "is tú mo bharróg" ... ach! ... tá ciall eile ar féidir a bhaint as, mar atá "You're my cuckoo!" :-) |

cuach [ainmfhocal baininscneach den dara díochlaonadh]
éan a deir cú-cú agus a bheireann ubh i nead éin eile.
cuach [ainmfhocal firinscneach den cheathrú díochlaonadh]
babhla; corn (óil).
An bhfuil an brí céanna agus i mBéarla, n'fheadar, le "rinne tú cuach díom"? (You cuckolded me?) |

Oh, yes, so it has nothing to do with cuckoo, the words are homonyms (cuckoo vs. embrace). I just thought it could be a symbol of love in Irish culture (seems naïve, doesn’t it). Well still I like it no less.
Le meas, Peter |

Both are correct, but "tá mé i ngrá leat" is really the exact equivalent of "I'm in love with you," not "I love you."
"Gráim t(h)ú(sa)" is a bit stiff sounding, since the verb "gráigh" is really not used all that much. |
