How Do You Say “i Love You” In Romanian? Is It A Kind Of Magic?
The three magic words, “I love you”, turn into two on translation from English into Romanian. “Te iubesc” - are the words every Romanian girl dreams of being told since they read about it in a novel or heard it being said in a drama or a movie. Expressing one’s love by saying those words is a crucial step in any relationship in Romania.
Normally girls do not like to confess that they are in love with a boy. It is a sort of masculine privilege and duty, you might say. The first “Te iubesc” could also be more emotionally charged than the first kiss. So when do you say “Te iubesc”? How do you say it, and to whom? These are the vital questions haunting anyone in love with a Romanian girl.
In life and in love nothing is alike, as you well know. Each relationship is special, each person has something special, and each person has a different way of thinking. Therefore, love has no general recipes, but there are some tips though, which can be taken into consideration if you figure out that one day you may say “te iubesc” to somebody.
You just cannot go up to somebody and say “I love you”. Love at first sight is a doubtful context for saying “Te iubesc”. After all, that sort of sudden attraction when you meet somebody and feel a blinding passion or know from your instincts that he or she is the right person for you is nothing more than an infatuation. It is the sort of passion that scalds everything in its path in the fury of its intensity. True love is gentler, more mature.
In Romania “Te iubesc” does not mean “I want you right now”. Rather it means “I want to be by your side always, I want to hold your hands and look deep into your eyes, I want to wake up every morning with you by my side”. So in Romania people tend not to blurt out their love as soon as they meet a person after their heart. They wait till they come to know that person better.
When you finally feel from the bottom of your heart that you are sure about being in love with this person, it is time to say those magic words. Here, though,sthe matter of ego or pride comes in. People sometimes think why is it that they have to be the first to confess their love? Why cannot the other person do so? It can be very embarrassing for a woman when she says “I love you” and receives a sheepish grin or a distracted reply in return. Again, there are times when a man wants to say “I love you” but cannot do so for the fear of rejection. At such times, it is best to trust your intuition to choose the right step.
Furthermore, the moment you say “I love you” is important as well. If you are a girl, you cannot confess your love when he watches a football match. You must find a romantic place; you must create a romantic atmosphere. You must say “I love you” for the first time, when you look deeply into his or her eyes, not on the instant messenger or in an e-mail.
Finally, let us talk about how to say “I love you” in Romanian. Well, it could go something like this - “te iubesc, m-ai vrajit tu cu ceva daca am spus-o” (I love you; you have somehow mesmerized me and I had to tell you).
