    It might not be 100% right but the closest you're going to get for now is like 'Lyubloo".
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!

    My suggestion: Lyblyu?

    Or is it difficult?

    Yeah, but unfortunately there's not anything like "I would never let a woman kick my ass. If she tried something, I'd be like, HEY! You get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me some pie!"

    Good idea! Why don't you record that for me and put it in the new Audio Lounge??

    There are two reasons why this is wrong.

    1. It is lyublyu

    2. This is just a translit. An english speaker will say L-yoo-bl-yoo, which is not how the word is pronounced.

    Oh yes. I let the letter out mistakingly. So, what I meant is acceptable.

    This is a link to a great site I've seen before but lost track of. Thanks!

    That website, however, uses "люблю" in the context of "love". As in,
    я тебя люблю

    As the title of this thread states, I am more interested in the phrase "I like...". As in, "I like you". Would that phrase be better stated this way in Russian?

    Ты мне нравишься

    How would some of you compare the use if these two phrases?

    Yep, when it comes to people use the нравиться verb. If you like playing soccer you любишь играть в футбол

    You can say "мне нравится играть в футбол" as well and it sounds natural but you're right "я люблю играть в футбол" is more common.

    I once heard somebody say it like this:

    я люблю вac

    Or you can say "yellow blue bus".

    It's not correct at all, but it is strangely close.

    As long as you pronouce vase like "Vaz". But its more commonly pronounced "Vays" (Rhymes with base).
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
