so... any idea why it was translated into "so.." in the video? i would guess it was a typo, but I could be wrong..

Quote:
"Je l'aime, lui": "lui" added is a way to emphasise, like saying "him and noone else"

I know this emphasis doesn't exist in English (or does it?).
there is something close to that, but not exactly that in english

example:

"I love you"
vs.
"I love you, frenchie"

you would use the persons name, rather than saying 'him' or 'her.'
