Samal, like many other indigenous languages, does not have a direct translation for "I love you" in the romantic sense. This is because love is often expressed through actions, gestures, and cultural practices rather than a single phrase.
If you want to express love in Samal, you could use phrases like:
* "Sukuran ta' ang Mahal na Allah para sa imo" (We thank Allah for you).
* "Gusto ko ikaw" (I like you).
* "Importante ka sa'kin" (You are important to me).
It's important to note that the best way to express love in any language is through genuine affection and respect.
