>>I second "Tá grá agam dhuit" for I love you. The Irish don't use love as a transitive verb, and so the phrase literally reads "love is at me (I have love) for you."

For "my love" as a term of endearment, I like "mo cuisle," which loses much in translation. It's pronounced 'muh kushla.'


How does one say "I love you", or "my love" in Irish?
