사랑해요 // Saranghaeyo

You’ve probably heard this in many Korean dramas. It means “Love”.

Here is the base form of this verb: 사랑하다 (saranghada) = to love

Conjugations:

Formal - 사랑합니다

Casual/Polite - 사랑해요

Informal - 사랑해

If you put the into a translator, you are likely to get the response: I Love You

HOWEVER, you can specify WHO you love by whatever you put before it.

당신 - you

너 - you

당신 사랑해요 - I love YOU

너 사랑해요

I love [insert name]

수지 사랑해요 - I love Suji

수빈 사랑해요 - I love Soobin

You actually can’t use this verb to say that you love a THING.

I love pizza - 피자 사랑해요 (this is incorrect / unnatural)

Instead, you would use the word for “to like”

I love pizza / I like pizza - 피자 좋아해요.

You can add adverbs in between these 2 words to indicate how much..

진짜 - really

진짜 좋아해요 - I really like (blank).

That’s it for today’s post!
