    As this is something most people want to learn very soon when getting started in a new language it seems a worthy topic to inaugurate this thread:

    So.........

    Icelandic: ég elska þig
    Danish: jeg elsker dig
    Norwegian bokmål: jeg elsker deg
    Norwegian nynorsk: eg elskar deg
    Swedish: jag älskar dig
    Finnish: minä rakastan sinua
    German: ich liebe dich
    Bavarian: i mog di

    These are for your foreign darlings of today.. but what do you say? You have fallen in love with that pretty Germanic lass you met at the Red Boar? Ok, we have something for you too:

    Old English: ic lufie þe
    Old Norse: I am not wholly sure about that one, but if you say
    ek elska þig you could not be entirely wrong

    And then for the specialists....

    ....drumroll...

    Proto-Germanic!!!!

    eka thez ann

    Thiu... could you verify that this is correct?
