We feel that we are capable of any feats and deeds. We are ready to shout to the whole world how much we value the object of our love ( the object of smb's affection). It's good if the love is mutual ( mutual love), and we can easily express all our feelings and emotions ( express our feelings and emotions). What if it’s hard enough to do? What if the one you love is still not aware of your experiences, but you would really like to tell him about them? Of course, there are those who are not shy about openly showing their emotions ( wear one's heart to smb) and can say three cherished words: “I love you” ( I love you). Well, those who are in no hurry to open their hearts and souls so directly, strive to choose words that would fully reflect their feelings. You can try to do this in a non-usual way, namely, pick up declaration of love in English (declaration of love).
What types of declarations of love are there in English?

Of course, the topic of “declaration of love in English” also has its own specific vocabulary that it is advisable to know. We all know the verb “to love” - love. But “falling in love” and “falling out of love” will sound accordingly fall in love And fall out of love(literally – fall into love and fall out of it).

If you are an experienced heartthrob and Casanova, then in all the pockets of your jacket or vest you should already have prepared in advance, but such fresh confessions for that beautiful and every time the only lady... True, your vest can gradually transform into the famous Wasserman vest. And you, tangled in countless pockets, one day, instead of declaring your love in English, pull out a declaration in Chinese or Turkish. declaration of love in English
If you are a young man, fragile and pale, unsure of yourself, then you are probably now rummaging through Google, translating, painfully thinking that something like “my yours love more every day” will not turn out.
There is also an option: you speak excellent English, have completed all possible courses, but still don’t know how to declare your love. Although the question may arise here: are you able to admit this feeling in at least some language.
So, still, how to confess your love to a girl if in fact your native language is Russian.
If the girl is also Russian, then you can try to explain yourself in Russian first. But maybe you just want to impress your crush and create mystery and fog? Then, her lack of knowledge of English will only be to your advantage, even what you say with feeling about beautiful weather will impress her. But what if she speaks English no worse than yours, and maybe even better, since she lives in America?
Your possible steps:
- write out and memorize beautiful non-standard phrases on the topic of love, of which there are many now on various pages.
- try to put together beautiful phrases in Russian and then use the translation
- use a phrasebook
- limit yourself to the standard phrase I love you
i love you - I love you Avoid vulgar standard phrases
Finding ready-made phrases is really not difficult.
Whether your girlfriend will like the standard one is another matter. After all, if you found this, know that besides you, these same phrases were found by several million more people who wanted to declare their love to their girlfriends. For Valentine's Day, it's all over the place. But is such recognition suitable if you feel something more than simple sympathy for your chosen one? Will she sense the insincerity evident in your routine confessions?
It’s not difficult to come up with something beautiful, but it’s harder to translate it. This is a confession: I am losing my head because of you. If this is translated literally, it will turn out to be I lost a head of you. However, there is no such expression in English: this is a Russian phraseological phrase (idiom), and it is translated I lose control because of you.
Don't suffer from idiocy trying to translate idioms.
But some phrases in our languages are still similar:
- You stole my heart - you stole my heart
- I’m dying of love - I’m dying of love
This suggests that emotions and feelings are expressed in approximately the same way in all languages. But it is still difficult to find the same literal translation.
In Russian you can say “You are the most important thing in my life,” and these words will make the girl cry. But in English there is generally no such indefinite neuter gender in the form of some kind of stray adverb, everything is specified there.
Therefore, the same phrase in English literal translation sounds somewhat mercantile:
- You the main thing in my life.- You are the main thing in my life.
Don't exaggerate
But there is no need to immediately use exaggerated dramatic phrases in increased dosages! You can scare someone away. They are usually used in the apotheosis of relationships. Moreover, if you have just met, or want to get acquainted, avoid theatrical effects. For first dates, it is better to prepare calmer confessions.
- I really like you, I would like to meet with you yet. - I really like you, I would like to meet you again
- You’re a very interesting girlI, have not seen such before. “You’re a very interesting girl, I’ve never met anyone like you before.”
- I know the city so bad, could not you be my guide? — I don’t know the city so well, could you become my guide?
After this necessary stage of courtship and various hints, bolder confessions can be made:
- We have known for several days, and the impression that I’ve known you all my life. “We’ve known each other for a few days, but it feels like I’ve known you all my life.”
And finally...
- You know, I don’t want to leave you never. - You know, I don’t ever want to leave you again.
A phrase book is unlikely to be suitable for dating and declarations of love. You run the risk of running into a phrase like “come with me, baby.” If you want to get acquainted with the help of a phrasebook, then open it in the “museums and theaters” section.
I love you - that's normal
And such a “standard” phrase like “I love you” is actually not standard at all!
Love does not tolerate verbosity.
And it should be used when this is really the case.
As you can see, no matter what language you speak, feelings and declarations of love are expressed the same way.
Original declarations of love with translation
