Liebe
love
Pronunciation
/ˈliːbə/
Cultural Note
Liebe is the central word for love in German. Unlike some languages, German does not distinguish between romantic love and deep affection with separate words. The phrase 'Liebe auf den ersten Blick' (love at first sight) is widely used. Germans tend to say 'Ich liebe dich' more sparingly than English speakers use 'I love you,' making the declaration carry significant weight.
