I liked a lot all of the suggestions, and I liked even more voragh's: *> chay’ chomuSHa’ ?* *> How do you love me?* The problem however could be, that here, the question could rather be perceived as "In what way do you love me ?". As a friend ? As a lover ? So, perhaps in order to solve this problem, we could employ the classic approach of using more than one sentences. vaj pelaD: {chay' chomuSHa' ? chomuSHa'qu''a' ?} how do you love me ? do you love me a lot ? or {chay' chomuSHa' ? chomuSbejHa''a' ?} how do you love me ? do you really love me ? The second sentence, gives context to the first. qunnoq On Sep 11, 2017 7:09 PM, "Steven Boozer" <sboozer@uchicago.edu> wrote:

SuStel made some pretty good points and suggestions. But if you're looking for a very literal translation that uses *'ar*, I came up with *jIHvaD parmaq 'ar Daghaj? **"How much love do you have for me?"*
*ghaj* is probably not the best verb here but unfortunately we don't yet have a verb for "feel an emotion", which is what I'd be inclined to use otherwise.

If we're talking about some other kind of love, we have to agree to treat *muSHa'* as meaning *love.* The noun form is *muSHa'ghach.* A person, of course, is *bang.* Then you can say things like *chomuSHa'mo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang* and *chomuSHa' 'e' yIDel.*
