Part 1: How to Say I Love You in Polish
1. I love you in Polish
- Kocham cię
- Transliteration: [Ko:ham chie:]
“Kocham cię” is the most common way to say I love you in Polish. It literally means “Love you.” If you use an online translator to translate from English to Polish, you will see “Ja kocham cię”, but the thing is, in the Polish language the pronoun “I” is almost out-of-use. So, you don’t need the “Ja.”
By saying “Kocham cię,” you let your lovely person know that you adore her (or him). It’s very easy to say and to remember. The first word “kocham” is pronounced like “ko – ham” and the second one “cię” like “che” in a word “cherry”.
2. “I love you from the bottom of my heart”
- Kocham cię z calego serca
- Transliteration: [Ko:ham chie: z cale:go se:rca]
«Serce» means “heart.” So, add the phrase you learned above, “Kocham cię,” to the words words “z calego serca”. You can use this phrase only to a loved one. “Kocham cię z calego serca” is a very emotional and sensual phrase. At the same time, these are beautiful words. Do not hesitate to encourage your loved one with these great words as often as possible.
3. “I like you” in Polish
- Podobasz mi się
- Transliteration: [Podo:basz mi shie:]
These are the two ways to say I like you in Polish. Yes, just like the English “I like you.”
4. “I like you” in Polish – Part 2
- Lubię cię
- Transliteration: [Lubye chie:]
These phrases are weaker than “I love you.” So, if you do not want to speak directly about love and relationships, you can use “Podobasz mi się” or “Lubię cię”.
5. “I can’t live without you”
- Nie mogę żyć bez ciebie
- Transliteration: [Nie mo:ge gytch bez chie:bie]
These words are really strong and this way you can tell a man or woman that you can’t live without this person. Don`t forget, this phrase is way too emotional so don’t use it too much.
Some more Polish romantic love phrases.
6. I think about you

8. You are my air

- Transliteration: Ye:stesh moim powie:trzem
9. Adore you
