SeanBM: "Love Cheese"? I dream of a fromage a trois - me, my wife and a piece of cheese.

Well I haven't heard you, so I don't know.

Snark aside, no one says kocham ciebie, they say kocham cię "KOH-hahm chyeh"
The answer is "Ja ciebie też" (Yah CHYEH-byeh TESH, literally "I you too".

The ch in kocham is somewhere between ch in Bach (or loch) and English h in happy.
The vowels are like Spanish or Italian but -ie = ye (the y is pronounced together with the consonant in front of it).

fairlytall: "Kocham Ciebie"? I would have thought that this should have been written differently. Ja mam coś od ciebie but ja kocham cię.

We always call my grandmother Bapcię (BAHP-chyeh), but I'm not sure if that's standard.

My grandma used to say to me ja kocham ciebe bardzo and I thought it meant I love you so much. Am I right?

ja kocham ciebe bardzo and I thought it meant I love you so much. Am I right? Yes, but if you form this sentence this way you emphasize 'bardzo' (much), as if you were answering a question like: Kocham cię tylko trochę, a ty? Ja kocham ciebie bardzo! I love you only a little bit, and you? I love you very much! Cinek
