It is “Saya Cinta Kamu” in Indonesian.
malay/Indonesian: Aku sayang enkow
malay/Indonesian: Sayah Chantikan Awah
both of them are malay, Not Indonesian.
Just a comment. Thank You.

The correct way to say it in Basque is “Maite zaitut”. The meaning of “Nere Maitea” is similar to “My dear” or “My love”.
We are approaching to 100 different ways to say it. I would like to know if there is someone who could learn all of them.
Karlos.

filipino: Mahal ka ta
tagalog: Mahal Kita
Filipino is the de facto standardized form of Tagalog and “I love you” in Filipino is the same as “I love you” in Tagalog. So in Filipino, “I love you” is “Mahal kita.”

I just wanted to give thanks to everyone for participating in this post.
Even though we achieved our goal of 100, you are welcome to continue sending me coments and sending more languages for me to post.
I have placed in Bold Letters all of the languages you suggested, so that everyone knows which ones were added by the readers.

Mahal Kata is actually technically correct when we based it on the Filipino Grammar but there are exceptions like in the English Grammar- so we say “Mahal Kita” because it is easy to hear than Mahal Kata!
