Expressing romantic love.
Contexte culturel
Dutch people are known for their directness, but they are surprisingly careful with this phrase. It is a big deal. Similar to the Netherlands, but perhaps even more reserved in some regions. The concept of 'holding' love is common in many Germanic languages. In many cultures, 'I love you' is a universal milestone in relationships.
Use 'je'
Using 'je' instead of 'jou' makes you sound more like a native speaker in casual settings.
Don't rush
