How do you say I love you more in French?
Be careful with the short version. Spoken French drops the ne in negatives, so je t’aime plus can be heard as je ne t’aime plus — “I don’t love you any more”. Say it another way and the risk disappears.
-
Moi, je t’aime plus que toi
mwah zhuh tem plewss kuh twah
The clear version: “I love you more than you love me.”
-
C’est moi qui t’aime le plus
seh mwah kee tem luh PLEWSS
“I’m the one who loves you most” — the usual playful comeback.
-
Je t’aime encore plus
zhuh tem ahn-KOR plewss
“I love you even more.”
-
Je t’aime plus fort
zhuh tem plew FOR
“I love you more strongly.”

Good to know
The one spoken clue is the s: in plus meaning “more” you pronounce it (plewss), and in the negative you do not (plew). In writing, context does the work.
Je t’aime plus que tout means “I love you more than anything” — unambiguous, because of what follows.
Je t’aime is for partners and close family. For friends, French says je t’adore.
