Cantonese doesn't have the phrase "I love you"
We don't say it to each other.
Growing up, I'd never heard I love you, never known what I really like you sounded like.
(I don't really know how I eventually figured it out.)
And when said, it's just strange. It's just a strange phrase, no one says it. If you were to, you'd just be given a strange look, a mental paper plastered on your forehead, "Foreigner"
Love is foreign, chinese people don't teach it.
But strangely enough,
It wasn't the chinese culture
that made me look at love the way I do.
I love you.
