I love you
raquel
ani ohev/et otakh/otkha
Explanation:
m to f:
aNI oHEV oTAKH (kh = like the ch in the Scots loch)
אני אוהב אותך

ani=I
ohev/et = love, in the singular, m / f
otakh/otkha = you (as the object of the sentence), singular, f / m

f to m:
aNI oHEvet otKHA
אני אוהבת אותך


f to t:
aNI oHEvet oTAKH
אני אוהבת אותך

etc :-)

you in the plural, as the object =
otKHEM (m) (also indeterminate or mixed)
etKHEN (f)

But these 'yous' do not work as ordinary 'you', which are different words.
