Hi, I would like to get a translation of the phrase "love me". I don't fully understand the Japanese language and I'm not sure in which alphabet I want it.

If anybody could help me out it would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks.

I'm new to this too, but when I type "love me" into my handy-dandy translator, I get:

私を愛しなさい (watashi wo ai-shi-na-sa-i)
(Formal neutral gender self, object marker, verbal form of love)
which could be shortened to:

愛しなさい (ai-shi-na-sa-i).

I switched it to translate the other way and "私を愛しなさい" became "Do me dearly"

As for the "alphabets", there are three. In a nutshell: Kanji (the fancy Chinese ones) represent main ideas, Hiragana (the simple ones) usually modify kanji for meaning and grammar, and Katakana (the blocky ones) are for foreign words.
