This time however you need to keep your eye on how both the adjective and the verb change. Just like when you say that you’re crazy about someone, the phrase changes according to the gender of the speaker. Francophones also refer to the experience as falling (tomber).
Maybe we’ve got too fast here because before we are in love, we have to first ‘fall in love.’ It’s a great metaphor of something happening to us that comes off as inevitable as gravity and in French, the expression is actually the same. I’m crazy about you (used by a man) Falling in Love This expression is a bit tricky though since the adjective changes depending on the gender of the speaker. You can also say that you’re crazy about someone or mad about someone. Of course, you might want to talk about your love without actually having to say the phrase je t’aime. One you’ve said that you love someone, then you can add onto that feeling with so many extra words to make it even sweeter. When we feel strongly about someone, we rarely stop with just one simple sentence. Just like the phrase je t’aime, the direct object vous has to come between je and the verb aimer. If you want to say ‘I love you’ in French to multiple people then you just swap out the word te for vous. Second, the word te has been shortened to a simple t’ since it comes before a word starting with a vowel. First, the word te (you) is nestled neatly between the subject je and the verb aimer. It’s three simple words, but there are few things to notice here. If you’re a Francophile then you’ve probably already heard this first expression plenty of times as a staple of every love song from Edith Piaf to Camille. Let’s start with the big words themselves. Likewise, we’ll also go over some of the other words and phrases that you should know with l’amour (love) and aimer (to love). We’ll go over how to talk about love in French including how to talk about falling in love, and of course how to say ‘I love you’ in French.
In the English speaking world, we so often hear French referred to as ‘the language of love.’ And today we’re going to take some time to focus on that very subject – love.
