There isn't a single, direct translation for "I love you" in Dzongkha that captures the full meaning of the English phrase. However, here are some ways to express love in Dzongkha, depending on the context:

For Romantic Love:

* ཁྱོད་ལུ་ ཧ་ཅང་ བརྩེ་བ་ཡོད། (khyod lu hachang tsetse wa yod): This is similar to the previous phrase but emphasizes "very much" affection.

* ཁྱོད་ལུ་ བརྩེ་བ་ཆེན་པོ་ཡོད། (khyod lu tsetse chenpo wa yod): This emphasizes "great" affection.

* ཁྱོད་ཀྱིས་ ང་ལུ་ བརྩེ་བ་སྐྱེས་ཡོད་པས། (khyod kyis nga lu tsetse kye wa yod pa): This translates to "Do you have love for me?" which is a more poetic and romantic way to express love.

For Love in General:
