English term or phrase: i love you
I love you.
Mouk
_______ daisuki!
Explanation:
What would be the right translation for "I love you" would depend on who you say it to.

Daisuki = I love you. This is something people usually say to someone in the family or good friends.

If you want to say it to someone in your family, just combine the word that means mom, dad...etc and "daisuki"
Okaasan(=Mom) daisuki! = I love you (Mom)
If you want to say I love you to someone else in the family, just replace the words dad, big brother, big sister... etc with mom.
Otousan(=Dad)/Oniichan(=big brother)/Oneechan(=big sister)/Obaachan(grandmother)/Ojiichan(grandfather) "daisuki!"

To a cousin, little sister, little brother, or friends, combine the name of the person and "daisuki": ______ (Name of the person comes inside the blank) daisuki! The name of a person's fiance can also come inside the blank too.

If a person wants to tell a person (she is in love with in a letter,
" ____ (name of the person) no koto ga suki desu."

The translation given by the other answeres are not a mistake at all and are standard translation but it might be good to know that they are not originally a Japanese thing but something literature and movies etc adopted when Japan came into contact with the West.
However, men did say "Kimi ni horeta" or "Kimi ni horeterunda" to women when they loved someone became aggressive. Otherwise Japanese people have uasually said things indirectly to imply to the other person that they loved the other person or said things in a way that the other person would sense it.
