Fukhian: `Dzafnhegl.'
love.1PERS.NOM.you.ACC.
Tyl-Sjok: `Jet je jo.'
[Love you.PAT] I.PAT
(Most verbs connected to sentient beings start with j-, that's why.)
Or, more pathetically:
`jet je ul jo.' "Love to you harasses me."
Or: `jet je nen jo.' "Love to you pleases me."
Depending on context, of course. :-]
And finally, if you *think* you control it:
`jo jet je.'
Obviously, that's unlikely and neither convincing nor romantic.
