Can anyone help me out.

[iciclexeyes]

I know this is going to sound very stupid, but can anyone tell me how to say something cute in Japanese, about missing another person or loving them? Every translation site I try is just the characters and they don't show up on my computer nor do I know how to write it in words.

It would be greatly appreciated

should be moved to the learning Japanese section moderators...

ill have a shot though! (i take it you are male...?)

君のことが（とっても）好きだよ！ kimi no koto ga (tottemo) suki da yo!

means

I (really) like you, you know!


not sure how "cute" you want to say it though....

 

[Mycernius]

No probs. Moved to learning Japanese.

The japanese don't have a verb for 'to miss' in this sense.
So they would either say 'aitai' literally I want to meet you or 'sabishii' I'm lonely.

What is the exact wording you're trying to translate ?
'Kimi ha totemo itoshii hito' (you're a dear person) sounds cute...
Kimi ga totemo koishii (I miss you so much). ﾂ

There are others about hugging or missing the warmth of your body, (for instance 'Kimi no nukimori wo koishii') it's just hard to say more without knowing where all this is headed...

I think it should be "Kimi no nukumori ga koishii", Elizabeth???

Following up on KrazyKat's comment - you have to rephrase things in Japanese because of the lack of a verb "to miss":

きみがいなくて淋しいです。 (Kimi ga inakute sabishii / samishii desu) literarally means "I'm lonely when you're not here."

Anyone know when to pronounce 淋しい as sabishii and when to use samishii? I always thought samishii was a girly thing, but I'm not so sure.

You're right, J C, for all of your suggestions.

Regarding "sabishii" and "samishii", I think you can interchange them in any situation. No gender issue involved. The only reason for choosing one over the other may be phonetic fluidity--that's about it.

ごめんなさい。 単なる 「温もり、が」と書きたかったところのタイプミスだったでしょう。

Another suggestion : if they haven't been gone long it might be most natural to find a phrase connecting it with the actual departure "when I realized you really had gone, I became very lonely (a feeling of loneliness bubbled to the surface)" or something....not that that is particularly cute, sorry if I'm getting off the tone of this thread.

Yeah - any more detail and it'll be time to switch to the Love & Relationship Advice Board

kinda cute things.

 

[iciclexeyes]

& im female for the one that was asking.

 

[cheapshot]

ah, ok, if your female, i am sure there are a lot cuter ways to say "I love/like you" than if you were male.

あたしはあなたのが大好き（わ）！ or is that tooo girly (i dont hear many girls say わ much at the end of sentances)

 

[iciclexeyes]

what about this.

 

[iciclexeyes]

oops
I dont know if you can read that.

 

[cheapshot]

what the hell is that :O

 

[nice gaijin]

it seems that your friend knows very little Japanese, if any...

 

[iciclexeyes]

Very little.
But trying.
Lol.

 

[cheapshot]

is that an attempt at kanji? the first one looks lke its supposed to be 無 but i cant recognise the rest.

what do they have to do with saying "I love you?"

無サフたな来
It is badly written giberish. They weren't even trying to write Japanese. Their name is spelt wrong too.

 

[Glenn]

If you're referring to aimasyou, it's not misspelled.

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

I concur with Glenn. Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat (ever hear that one?), there is more than one way to write Japanese in romaji.

 

[KrazyKat]

Sorry, my mistake. I thought they were going for また会いますよ （Or possibly 会いますように） I guess I just thought they were more likely to be making a mistake (i've seen books that teach desu as dess) than using less common romaji so I didn't even see it.
