This is for a man talking to a woman....the other way around is:
Ani Ohevet Otkha

>Now for conlangs:
Rokbeigalmki:

_azoi-iip esh_ would be the normal form.

_azoizoi-iip esh_, with a doubled present-routine tense vowel, would be
more romantic...like "i always loved you, always love you, and will
always love you".

_aza-iip esh_ (with the present-immediate tense) would be good for "i
love you right now, but stop slurping your soup or i'm dumping your butt"
:) )

_azoiza-iip esh_ would also be a romantic form, sorta like "my eternal
love to you is always immediate in my mind".


ool-Nuziiferoi:

_aCVCVCoi-esh_, where CVCVC is whatever the root for "love" would have
been.  Here _-oi_ is simple present, not present-routine like in
Rokbeigalmki.


Ju:zajajs:

ask in a few weeks :)


D'gijsiki Code (why not?):

A Rumi Buo    ( /a 'rumi bwa/ )



-Stephen (Steg), whose name in Ju:zajajs happens to become "I`t,ti:win
(I`t,tegi`)"
