saranghaeyo

Note

It is probably not the term you might use towards your girlfriend. You might rather say saranghae without yo. But this might be an insult to a person you are not close enough... So be careful. As for the pronouns (I /you) you don't need them in Korean, so since we didn't see them yet, me too, I will drop them.

How do speech levels work in Korean?
Korean has multiple speech levels that indicate formality and politeness. The most common are the formal polite (‑습니다/‑ㅂ니다), informal polite (‑아요/‑어요), and casual (‑아/‑어) forms. Which level you use depends on who you're speaking to and the social context.
