Comment: "I guess for a title, it sounds better saying a loving heart than a heart that loves. Notice Finnish does not mark definite/indefinite form of nouns. I was wondering whether the form was either presence or infinitive, as it is common in Swedish to have an infinitive in titles, whereas in English it is not so common.
