Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *ľubiti, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *ljaubī́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *lowbʰéyeti, from *lewbʰ-.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈʎubi]

Verb

љуби • (ljubi) third-singular present, impf

1. (transitive, stative) to love (romantically)

Usage notes

• This word's meaning is particularly strong and it also sounds rather literary, so it is often replaced with the simpler сака (saka), though this can lead to some ambiguities.
