Minä rakastan sinua

In Finnish we mostly leave the personal pronoun out and just say: Rakastan sinua. We think it is one of the most beautiful sentences in our language.

I mean we leave the personal pronoun out, except in the third person singular and plural. We never leave he/she/they out.

If we include \"minä\", it is for emphasis. And in this case, of course, we often wish to emphasise...

Young people say \"mä rakastan sua\", which is colloquial.
