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.

The bird is singing.
새가 노래해요.saega noraehaeyo.
The bird eats the worm. I can't eat worms.
새가 벌레를 먹어요. 저는 벌레를 못 먹어요.saega beollereul meogeoyo. jeoneun beollereul mos meogeoyo.
Sae-ga peolle-reul meogeoyo. Jeo-neun peolle-reul mot meogeoyo.
The bird sees the worm, but doesn't eat it.
새가 벌레를 봐요 하지만 안 먹어요.saega beollereul bwayo hajiman an meogeoyo.
Sae-ga peolle-reul pwayo hajiman an meogeoyo.
The bird sees the worm. The worm can't see the bird.
새가 벌레를 봐요. 벌레는 새를 못 봐요.saega beollereul bwayo. beolleneun saereul mos bwayo.
Sae-ga peolle-reul pwayo. Peolle-neun sae-reul mot pwayo.

Sae-ga I used the Subject marker here. It is a simple statement. The bird sees the worm. I might have equally used the topic marker 'Sae-neun' but I am not obliged. However for the second sentence about the worm, I am changing topics. We are no longer speaking of what birds see. I need to mark the worm as my new topic! peolle-neun.

Birds don't drink tea.
새는 차를 못 마셔요.saeneun chareul mos masyeoyo.
Sae-neun cha-reul mot mash(y)eoyo.

Why 'mot' ? Wouldn't that translate to 'Birds CAN'T drink tea ? Indeed, it would. But that is actually the hidden meaning of the statement. I don't want to say that there was beer and tea and for some reasons the birdies preferred the beer and neglected my Earl Grey... In Korean it feels better to use 'mot' here.

Let's give you another example of a mistake English speakers are bound to do.

If someone said something and you didn't hear it well... If you say: 'Sorry, I DIDN'T hear you' (in Korean of course) - it would sound very impolite. It would give the impression you never wanted to listen anyway. Whereas 'I COULDN'T hear you.' would convey the message, that there was so much noise or the speaker's voice was too soft... but you really wanted to hear the message.

Anyway I'll teach you that sentence later in Korean. As for now just listen well :D
