How do you say "I love you" in Indonesian?

Short answer

"Aku cinta kamu" (AH-koo CHIN-tah KAH-moo) is the most common way to say "I love you" in Indonesian. The formal version is "Saya mencintai Anda". Indonesians also use "Aku sayang kamu" for affectionate love that is slightly less intense than romantic cinta.
