Szerelem
This word means “love.” It can refer to the feeling itself or the person who is the object of one’s love.

Gyönyörű vagy
This means “You are beautiful.” It is a compliment that will surely be appreciated.

Puszi
This is a casual and friendly way of saying “kiss.” It’s also used to end conversations in an affectionate way.

Meaning “my hug” or “my embrace,” this word is used to express that you would like to hug the person or you are sending a hug.

Similar to “vágyom rád,” it means “I want you” and indicates a strong physical desire.
