English is a great language - OTOH somehow we only have one word for love. Then again, we also only have one word for "you." And Mark Twain said "I'd rather decline two free meals than one German (forgot what goes here).
"I heard a Californian student in Heidelberg say, in one of his calmest moods, that he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective."
- Mark Twain, from "The Awful German Language"
One of my favorites ;)
