Love is probably the most universal language--corny, yet true. Across every continent and culture, we communicate with love. Yet for those seeking a foreign romance, you may have to pick up a word or two in a new language to communicate how much you love someone with words. Below, you will find words from fifteen different languages that all have their own unique meaning in romance. If you are like me, you are going to imagine your cat while reading the descriptions of almost every word (just maybe as a platonic love and not a romantic love).
