- In spoken language this is normally "Ik hou' van jou"
- More formal (and mostly used for things like ones home country and the like)
- is: "Ik heb je lief" or "ik heb U lief".

- This should be "Seni seviyorum"

- >Vlaams : Ik hue van ye
-
- "Vlaams" is Flemish for Flemish, so there is no reason to include both in
- the list.
