These are default phrasebook renderings. Explanations describe the intent; equivalents are adapted lines, not necessarily literal translations. Check any gendered wording before sending.
Make the moment yours.
Choose a line that matches where you are together. Everyday affection and a first declaration are different moments.
Make it yours with a shared detail: the coffee they remembered, the joke that stuck, or the next thing you are looking forward to.
Try saying it slowly before sending a voice note. Use the audio or read-along pronunciation where the phrase has it.
Before you hit send
Can I hear these phrases?
Use the audio controls where a recording is available. Some phrases also include a read-along pronunciation guide. Audio needs a connection and may occasionally be unavailable.
Are these literal translations?
Not necessarily. The explanation describes the intent. An equivalent is the corresponding line from the SideTalk phrasebook, adapted to its language rather than translated word for word.
Are these previews free?
