Are you dating an Indian? Do you want to express your feelings to your significant other in her or his native language? There are several ways to say "I love you" in Hindi. In addition, there is a difference in how this phrase should be prepared by a man, and as a woman. With a little practice, you can pleasantly surprise your sweetheart (or your sweetheart).

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to Say “I Love You” If You Are A Man

1. 1 Say "Main tumse pyar kartha hun." Although there are several ways to say "I love you" in Hindi, this phrase will be the easiest one. As mentioned above, women and men say this phrase in Hindi slightly differently. As a rule, in Hindi most verbs in masculine gender end in "a", and in feminine gender in "and". Thus, if you are a man, then you should use the verb "kartha", and if you are a woman, then you should use the verb "kartha" in this phrase.
   • Please note that this phrase is suitable not only for expressing romantic feelings (towards a girl or woman), but also for expressing love for a male person, for example, brother, son, friend, and so on.
2. 2 Work on your pronunciation. If your native language is Russian, then if you just try to pronounce the above phrase the way it is written, then, most likely, your significant other will understand you with difficulty. Before shining with your knowledge, work on the correct pronunciation. Remember that in Hindi the pronunciation of some sounds differs from how they are pronounced in Russian:
   • Pronounce "main" like "mei". When in Hindi the "n" sound is at the end of a word, it is almost always pronounced through the nose. This means that it is practically inaudible, it is pronounced through the nose and "main" sounds almost like "mei".
   • Pronounce "tumse" as "thumse". The sound "t" should be softer than in Russian (when pronouncing it, the tip of the tongue is at the sky and tucked inward), and the sound "y" should be longer.
   • Pronounce "pyar" - in this case, the pronunciation is the same as in Russian.
   • Say kartha. Notice again the "t" sound, which should also be soft. The syllable "tha", generally speaking, sounds like a cross between "te" and "dha", and the sound "x" is practically absent.
   • Pronounce hun as hum / n. In this word, the sound "n" is again at the end of the word, it is also pronounced through the nose, but you can already hear it better - you can pronounce it almost like "m".
3. 3 Expect to hear "Main bhi aap se pyar karthi hun." If you express your feelings in Hindi, you can hear your significant other say something like this to you. Congratulations! It means "I love you too!"
   • As for the pronunciation, the beginning of this phrase sounds like "mei bi". Then it is pronounced as "ap-se". Everything else sounds exactly like “I love you” in Hindi when a woman speaks - this is detailed below.

Method 2 of 3: How to Say "I Love You" as a Woman

1. 1 Say "Main tumse pyar karthi hun." If you are a girl or a woman, then the phrase "I love you" will be about the same for you as for a man, but not exactly the same. The only difference will be in the feminine verb "kartha" (for men, the verb "kartha" is used). Apart from this slight change, the phrase is identical.
2. 2 Work on your pronunciation. Since the phrase “I love you” sounds the same for both men and women, you can use the advice in the previous section, which describes the pronunciation of all words except “kartha”. In this word, the sound "t" is also pronounced softly, as in other cases, but after it there is the sound "and", not "a".
3. 3 Expect to hear "Main bhi aap se pyar kartha hun" in response. Again, if you said the phrase correctly, and if your significant other feels the same way about you, then you will probably hear that phrase back. As in the previous case, this phrase means “I love you too”, it uses the masculine verb “kartha”, and not the feminine “kartha”.

Method 3 of 3: Using other phrases

1. 1 Try different words for love in Hindi. As in Russian, in Hindi there are various synonyms for the word love, for example, "adoration", "affection". You can change the phrase slightly if you like. The following are a few words that you can use to replace the word “pyar” (“love”) in the above phrases:
   • ishk;
   • mohabbat;
   • dholna;
   • prem;
   • pyaar.
2. 2 Use "aapse" for those who are older. In Hindi, as in many other languages ​​(including Russian), different expressions are used for formal and informal situations. The above phrase "I love you" can be used for loved ones or well-known people, that is, for people close to you, brothers, sisters, children, and so on. However, if you are referring to someone older than you, someone with authority over you, or someone you don’t know well enough, you can use the formal address “aapse” instead of “tumse” (to say “I I love you ").
   • Thus, the formal version of the phrase will sound like “Main aapse pyar kartha / karthi hun” (ie, “I love you”).
3. 3 Add "bohat" to say "I love you very much." If you really if you want to express your love for someone, try adding the word "bohat" before "pyar" in the usual phrase "I love you." "Bohat" in Hindi means "very" or "strong".
   • "Bohat" is not pronounced the way it is written. It is pronounced almost like "boat", with a very faint sound "x" between "o" and "a", that is, as "bo- (x) -at".
4. 4 Learn to ask out on a date. If you have serious feelings towards someone, but are not yet ready to move on to a serious relationship and confessions, then you probably want to go out with that person on a date. In this case, you need to know how to invite to a meeting or a date in Hindi - this will make a great impression. Try one of the phrases below. If you are a man, use the verbs with "a", and if you are a woman use the verbs with "and":
   • "May aap ko khane par le janaa chaahatha / chahathi hun" - I want to invite you to dinner.
   • "Kya ham ek saath ghumane jaaim?" - Let's go for a walk together?
   • "Kya aap mere saath bahar jaenge?" - Let's go somewhere with me?
   • “Mei aap ke saath aur vakth bithaanaa chaahatha / chaahathi hun” - I would like to spend more time with you.
   • Please note that traditionally boyfriend and girlfriend dating in India is very structured and formalized compared to the way it is in the West. Often all the meetings and communication (as well as the wedding) are organized by the parents or family members. Recently, however, young Indians and expats are increasingly adopting the Western style of dating and dating. To avoid any embarrassing situations, you can try to find out about the potential partner in advance about the "rules" of dating, and only after that make her or him a date.
