I miss you

Sorry if this has been done before but I looked quickly and couldn't find one.

So... In any language you know- I miss you or I'll miss you (or both)



Thanks

"I miss you" has not been done before but "I'll miss you" has. Please limit your posts in this thread to translations of the former, and use the other thread for translations of the latter.

"I miss you" in Arabic:

...and is speaking to one person: إني مشتاق إليك (inni mushtaaqun ilaykaa - if "you" is masculine; inni mushtaaqun ilaykii - if "you" is feminine)
...and is speaking to two people: إني مشتاق إليكما (inni mushtaaqun ilaykumaa)
...and is speaking to a group of three or more people, at least one of whom is male: إني مشتاق إليكم (inni mushtaaqun ilaykum)
...and is speaking to a group of three or more females: أني مشتاق إليكن (inni mushtaaqun ilaykunna)

*If the speaker is a female,...

...and is speaking to one person: إني مشتاقة إليك (inni mushtaaqatun ilaykaa - if "you" is masculine; inni mushtaaqun ilaykii - if "you" is feminine)
...and is speaking to two people: إني مشتاقة إليكما (inni mushtaaqatun ilaykumaa)

[linguist786]

French:

Tu me manques/Vous me manquez (first one is familiar address, second is formal)

Hindi/Urdu:

Mujhe uss ki (bahaat) yaadi aatee hai
(hmm.. maybe there's a shorter way of saying that!)
literally, it means: "The thoughts of him/her come to me (a lot)" (it's impersonal in Hindi)

Alternatively: "Mai unko yaad kartaa hoon" ("I remember him/her a lot)

Gujarati:

(following the Hindi style..!)

Manay enee bo yaadi aavay che
/Oo ene bo yaad karoo choon

[linguist786]

In Hindi
I miss you = Mein tumhari kami mahsooz kar rahan hoon
I will miss you = Mein tumhari kami mahsooz karoonga

cool.. good alternative..
Isn't there like a really short way of saying it?
Literally that means "I am feeling your absence"
hmm.. interesting.

oh by the way, if it's a female speaker, it'd be changed slightly to:
I miss you = Mein tumhari kami mahsooz kar rahee hoon
I will miss you = Mein tumhari kami mahsooz karoongee

 

[Dalian]

Sorry for coming in so late

In Egyptian colloquial Arabic you can say:
waHishni (to a male)
waHshaani (to a female)
waHshenni (to a group of people)

These are verbs in present tense.

Also in Egyptian colloquial Arabic, people can sometimes use the past tense to express the same meaning (I miss you) :
waHashteni (to a male)
waHashtini (to a female)
waHashtuuni (to a group of people)

Saw that this wasn't there so:

Swedish: "Jag saknar dig" or, if it's to somone you know well, you can simply say "Saknar dig" (as in "Miss You")

If you speak to one person:
I miss you="Îmi lipseşti" or "Mi-e dor de tine"
I'll miss you="O să-mi lipseşti" or "O să-mi fie dor de tine" (informal, widely used)
"Îmi vei lipsi" or "Îmi va fi dor de tine" (formal, rarely used in speech).

If you speak to more people:
I miss you="Îmi lipsiţi" or "Mi-e dor de voi"
I'll miss you="O să-mi lipsiţi" or "O să-mi fie dor de voi" (informal)
"Îmi veţi lipsi" or "Îmi va fi dor de voi" (formal)

[bjervell]

Norwegian: jeg savner deg.

 

[Dminor]

Dutch: Ik mis je.

 

[painkiller735]

'i miss you' is the sentence 'seni özlüyorum' in turkish
and 'i will miss you is seni özleyeceğim.

 

[maud]

In Japanese I think that it is:
あなたがいなくて寂しいです。
Anataga inakute sabishii desu.

(by the way could someone please tell me what なくて means here ?)

 

[tatica66]

I miss you:

Te extraño

I will miss you:

Te extrañaré

miss = extrañar

 

[conniemeng2005]

Chinese :
I miss you : 我想念你 (wo xiangnian ni)
I'm thinking about you : 我想你 (wo xiang ni)

"I miss you" 我想你 or 我想念你
both of two sentences are ok ：）

 

[WILMSLOW]

I miss you

 

[WILMSLOW]

I miss you = Te echo de menos
I will miss you = Te echaré de menos

 

[Etcetera]

In Russian:
Я скучаю по тебе (Ya skuchayu po tebe) - Sing.
Я скучаю по вам (Ya skuchayu po vam) - Plur.; also polite.

 

[La-Turkish-Chiiqa]

Danish; Jeg savner dig

Turkish; Seni özlüyorum

 

[Flaminius]

In Japanese I think that it is:
あなたがいなくて寂しいです。
Anataga inakute sabishii desu.

(by the way could someone please tell me what なくて means here ?)

inakute: "as [you are] not present" from "inai", negative from of "iru" (exist, for humans).

In a romantic context, a more stronger adjective seem to be handy:
あなたが恋しいです。
anata-ga koishī desu.

The adjective koishī expresses strong disatisfaction for the absence of the person or the object referred to. It was more frequently used a generation or two ago but, nowadays, its domain seems to be restricted to romance and love affairs.

[panjabigator]

Punjabi: Tusii menu bahut yaad aa rahe ho==literally...Im remembering you a lot...but "I miss you" is implied.

 

[ukuca]

In Turkish we generally say "Seni özledim" instead of "Seni özlüyorum".
Both sentences are true, but first one is more common I think.
"Seni özledim" is not actually in present tense (gramatically in past)
but this sentence refers a present meaning in daily use.

 

[Sina]

Turkish

Özledim seni
Seni mumla arar olduk
Arattırdın kendini
Hasretini çekiyorum

And a song about this

Orda bir köy var uzakta
O köy bizim köyümüzdür
Gitmesek de, görmesek de
O köy bizim köyümüzdür.

Means

There is a village far away from here
That is our village
Since we dont go there and see there
That is our village

Or

Este es un pueblo
Lo es mis
Nos no visitarlo, o verlo, pero
Lo es mis pueblo.

(im not sure about spanish one, my spanish isnt good)

[GenJen54]

Hi Janniah,

Welcome to the Forums! I have moved your thread from the Cultural Discussions forum to here in Other Languages, where you will receive many more replies.

There is already a thread on this subject with 43 replies. You might want to look at it HERE.

Good luck!

 

[badgrammar]

I think you will find there is already a verrrrry long thread with "I miss you", and others with all kinds of typical things lovers like to say to eachother... I love you, I need you, kiss, etc... It's a good idea to do a search for threads like this first before opening up a new one...

 

[Sidjanga]

My (another) suggestion for the German version:
"Du fehlst mir"

 

[cherine]

i really need to know as many different translations as i can for "i miss you"
please help. thanks

I thought I'd be practical to merge the two threads together; this way we'll have all the answers in one way
And I also think you might be interested in the (I will miss you) thread.
