我爱你.
wǒ ài nǐ .
I love you.
Love is a complex emotion, especially when there are three people involved each of which have a different agenda. In this Absolute Beginner lesson, pulled right out of a soap opera, we teach about the
fundamental difference between liking and loving things, so that you don't do anything embarassing the
next time you're called on to make an impromptu speech, or ask you a simple question like "do you love
me?" Listen in any you'll be ready to answer them either way.
