Infographic: How Do You Say ‘LOVE’ Around the World?

“CELEBRATE THE BEAUTIFUL BOND OF LOVE“

Nothing says “I love you” like taking the time to learn and speak the language of the people you love. Love comes in many shapes and sizes – and expressions too. 

As Valentine’s Day draws near, the hopeless romantics among us are bubbling with giddy anticipation of the surprise they are certain they will receive on this special day, while the rest of us are filled with dread either because we are single or because there’s just too much pressure to not disappoint or be disappointed during this time.

Instead of fretting about shopping for the best gift for your significant other this Valentine’s Day, why not make it a little different by learning the different words you can use to express your affection for each other?

To mark the occasion, TranslationServices.com made a map to illustrate the many ways to say “love” all around the world. Get ready the best wine and chocolate, and turn your date into a session of laughter as you learn to say the magic word in different languages together. It’s fun and, best of all, it’s free (except the wine and chocolate).

Of course, Valentine’s Day is not just about romantic affection. So if you have friends and families scattered everywhere on the planet, use this map as a guide to express your appreciation for the loved ones in your life.
