As a sea captain, traveling the world, my dad picked up words and phrases in many different languages. “I love you” seems to have been his phrase of choice. He can say it in practically every language.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the phrase everyone around the world wanted to learn how to say in different languages was “I love you”?

My dad spent some time docked in Japan when he was young, and he was always particularly proud of his ability to profess his love in Japanese.
A few years ago, I traveled to Tokyo and visited the adorable cafe in the pictures above. The decorations were all heart-shaped and even the foam of the latte was spun into a heart. Yum!

In Greek, the way you say “I love you” is: Σ’αγαπώ, pronounced s’agapo.
