Assuming that the "you" is singular...
Rokbeigalmki would be:

azoi-iip (sha')esh.

az = i (subject)
oi = present-routine tense
sha' = direct object marker
esh = you (non-subject)

Including the _sha'_ strengthens the idea of "you", since the basic
non-subject form is already the direct object form, it doesn't need the
marker.  Another way to emphasize the "you" is to move it to the
beginning of the sentence.


Ju:d,ajca: would probably be something like:

amo:t,e:.

with another form (probably more intense)

te: amo: (eg,).

(colon = macron ; comma = cedilla)

And thanks to Dan Sulani's discovery of the February 1999 "Valentine's
Day Translations" i found stuff that i had forgotten, or not thought of
now for Rokbeigalmki:

_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".


Now this was interesting... i didn't remember that i used to do
translation excersizes in my simple substitution code D'gijsiki... here
it was:

D'gijsiki Code (why not?):

A Rumi Buo    ( /a 'rumi bwa/ )

Notice the pronounciation of <uo> as /wa/ instead of /uo/, that was my
brother's idea i think.
