Note: The best way to say "I care" in Punjabi depends on the specific situation and the relationship between the speaker and the listener.
For example, if you want to tell a friend that you care about them, you might say "ਮੈਨੂੰ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਹੈ" or "ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸੁੱਖ ਹੈ". However, if you want to tell a romantic partner that you care about them, you might say "ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਹੈ".
