[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 649046, member: 14557"] Well, to be fair, words have different connotations in different language even when they translate the same. For example, based of things I have hears and read, it is possible to say in English that you love ice cream or that you love certain band or sport team or something similar. With our word for 'love' that would simply feel really weird (or if you have teenage imagination little dirty.) Around here we would 'like' ice cream or the artist. Our word for 'love' only has that 'till the death do us part' and 'I would literally die for you' meaning, not the lighter meaning that English word seems to have in addition of that earth shattering meaning. (Okay that didn't make much sense, did it?) English word love seems to have two meanings to me. First is that deep, earth shattering feeling that changes everything and second, separate meaning is, that you really like of fancy something. Our word for love only have that first meaning and that is why English word gets loaned by our teens. [/QUOTE]
