| Hi, everybody! |
| Do you know how to say 'I love you' in Greek? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say 'I love you' and a special phrase for Valentine's Day. |
| Let’s start with the most common phrase. |
| Σ' αγαπώ. |
| [slowly] Σ' αγαπώ. |
| "I love you." |
| This phrase is direct. You should use it only when you're confessing your love. |
| If you want to be less direct, you can use this phrase. |
| Σημαίνεις τόσα πολλά για μένα. |
| [slowly] Σημαίνεις τόσα πολλά για μένα. |
| It means "You mean so much to me." |
| Now if you want to be more romantic in expressing your love for someone, you can say this phrase. |
| Οι λέξεις δεν μπορούν να περιγράψουν την αγάπη μου για σένα. |
| [slowly] Οι λέξεις δεν μπορούν να περιγράψουν την αγάπη μου για σένα. |
| It means "Words cannot describe my love for you." |

| Θες να γίνεις ο Βαλεντίνος μου; |
| [slowly] Θες να γίνεις ο Βαλεντίνος μου; |
| It means "Will you be my Valentine?" |

| Well done! [pause] Here's a fun fact! Do you know the God who represents love in Greek mythology? |
| The god "Eros" is the winged God of love. The English word "erotic" is from his Greek name [Έρως]. Eros made people fall madly in love by striking them with his arrows. Usually he is depicted nude, as a handsome young man or a chubby child, holding a bow and arrows. |
