In Gevey:

The act of loving someone:
   "Daey te shise let neefe"
      te - I (subject)
      neefe - love (verb)
      shis - emphatic action particle
      let - continuous action particle
      daey - you (direct object)

where the direct object has taken the animate internal (the sum
of all the parts of you, the bits I can see and the bits that
are hidden) rather than plain old animate simple.

The state of being in love with someone:
   "Daey te be shise let neefanti"
