In French we have an expression “tu es la prunelle de mes yeux” which literally means “you are the pupil of my eye”, meaning you are the most precious thing ever to me, but I swear it is very sweet and doesn’t sound weird :laughing:

The general rule with Brits is the more they insult you, the more they like you :wink:

I always wonder with 我喜欢你 (I like you) in Chinese, if it sounds the same as it does in English - because in English ‘I like you’ is almost exclusively used for romantic situations. For Mandarin though I’m not sure how intense it sounds to say ‘我喜欢你’ to someone :eyes:
