Say "I love you" like a Jamaican
You've been dating your person for a few months now but neither of you has said it.
No worries, no pressure - many people have been there!
Now, you're itching to drop the love bomb, but you're stuck in a dilemma.
You don't want to sound like you just stepped out of a rom-com, and not like you're trying to strong-arm your way to the next stage in your relationship.
Your goal is to sound sincere yet playful.
Well, say it in Jamaican Patois!
There's no smoother way to spill your heart out.
It could be the best way to express your deepest feelings for your person.
So, how do you say, "I love you" like a Jamaican?
Let's count the ways.
"Mi luv yuh"
Keep it simple and straight to the point!
"Mi luv yuh" is the simplest and most direct way to express your love for the person.
"You 'ave mi heart"
Express your affection by handing over the keys to your heart with this line.
You're saying that the person is someone you care deeply for.
"Mi rate you differently"
Now this line will certainly spice things up.
Your person is a cut above the rest and you're proud to declare it.
It's a playful way to express admiration.
"Mi 'ave a soft spot fi you"
Soft spots are not easy to come by so this line is certainly endearing.
It's a subtle way to verbalize all the warm and fuzzy feelings you're experiencing.
It also adds a touch of mystery and tenderness.
After all, who wouldn't appreciate knowing they've uncovered a unique, cherished space in someone's heart?
"Mi love yuh from di battam a mi heart"
Now this one sounds like a lyric in a popular Reggae song.
It's sincere and poetic.
Say it, and watch your person blush, maybe even confessing their love right back!
