In Farsi literature love has speciall and higher position .In ancient Iran real and eternal love had special values as lover goes to death for reaching his love. So real love is secret in Iranian literature and devine. Most of our poets and authors have admired the role of love and importance of it in human life.

The literal translation is: Ashegetam

But this is too literal. Dooset daram which literally means: 'I like you' is a more common form of expressing love for someone!

One question-- can someone break this down for me? I think "dAram" is like the German "lieb" as in "Ich habe dich lieb" -- is this correct?

Many thanks for all the responses.
