Language/culture barriers?
3 years ago
I love my parents very much for everything they have done for me (which is a considerable amount, heh), but I have never ever told them.
I’ve thought much about this, and think some of the reason is that “I love you” is generally very rarely said in Norwegian at all (“jeg elsker deg“). It’s more common to say “I’m fond of you” (it doesn’t sound as idiotic in Norwegian, heh), but of course it doesn’t have the same “power” as saying I love you would.
Anyone from Scandinavian countries having done this? Or thought about language/cultural differenses in doing this?
