Ich liebe dich.
/ɪç ˈliːbə dɪç/
I love you.
When to use it
The full romantic 'I love you'. Germans take this seriously — usually only said once a relationship is real. Don't say it on the third date.
In conversation
—Nach einem Jahr kann ich es endlich sagen: Ich liebe dich.
“—After a year I can finally say it: I love you.”
