very much love
Explanation:
Take the word aloha. It is easy to learn the pronunciation of a and o by saying this lovely Hawaiian word that means hello, goodbye, peace, and love, all rolled up together. Aloha nui loa (new ee low a) expands on the theme, nui meaning much, great and loa meaning very. If you sign your letters with "love", or "affectionately", try using the Hawaiian phrase Aloha Nui Loa instead...Very Much Aloha
