How do you say 'I love you' in Burmese?

Answer 1

There is not a single way to say I love you in Burmese because in Burmese the personal pronouns such as "I" and "you" can be said in different ways depending on who you are, who you are talking to, what the social status of you and your listener are and how much you want to be polite. The simplest way is minn go ngar chit te (or) simply chit te with "minn" (you), "go" (preposition that signifies an object), "ngar" (I), and "chit te" (love). (The pronunciation for ngis close to the final consonant sound of ng in ringor king.)

Generally, "ngar" is regarded as impolite and is used only between friends, or people with very intimate relationship. "Ngar" is also used by those with higher social status or with older age against those with lesser degree of social status and biological age. The polite usages are "kyundaw" for the male and "kyama" for the female. ("ky" is pronounced as "ch" as in "chair" but a little bit more aspirated. The closest word that matches the correct pronunciation would be "t" as in tune. But if you watch a Burmese movie or read a Burmese love story, it is very less likely to hear or read what was mentioned above. Like the Thais, Burmese people usually use their and the listener's names to refer to "I" and "you".
