English term or phrase: I love you
I'd like to know the translation of this phrase spoken or written by a female to a male. If there is a difference in meaning, I'd like to know both the "friendly" love and the "romantic" love translation. Thank you

  -> Thanks a lot, Sogifted! :-)

disagree  Eynat: Do you actually speak ANY Hebrew, or do you simply trawl the board and copy other people's answers?
15 hrs
  -> What is wrong with saying "Please use KudoZ search"? "I love you" questions flood most language directions. So, IMO somebody should remind it.

disagree  Suzan Chin: That's pretty much it. A cut and paste job.
