Ek = I
'Yo' must be jou = you
te lief = love

Make sense now?

Hi Allan thank you SO much for your response.....are you certain or is this a guess? I just don't want to have the wrong answer. As well can you tell me exactly which language it is? Thank you very much I appreciate it!

Certain

100 % on the 'ek' and 'te lief' part. The 'yo' = 'jou' ='you' is an educated guess on my part. The language is Afrikaans and I don't know of any 'yo' except as in, "Yo, wazzup?"

The correct Afrikaans would be

"EK HET JOU LIEF"

A weird way of saying "I love you," almost like saying "I have love for you" But hey, who said Afrikaans is not a weird lingo?

Thank you so much for your interpretation because myself I didn't think by the person who said it that it would actually mean "I LOVE YOU"....thanks again.

Some of the Koh Samui villas are set on peaceful hills adjoining sea. So, when a sea wave hits the big boulders below, you are actually able to experience some butterflies in your stomachs. Such is the experience of the exotic locales where these Samui villas are located. The villas are located in peaceful places, but not much far from action. You can anytime visit the flee market to buy exotic sea shells, or belts made from fish�s skin for you dear and near ones.
