'Dare aishitemasen watashi ni ka?'
I'm trying to make "Why won't you love me?"...and I also have no clue how to make "Why won't (Name) love me?"...do any of you know how?
Gah. I feel so silly asking if my translations about "lovey-dovey" things are right.

For the record, "dare" = who, not why. Therefore, my guess would be:
watashi ni doushite/naze ai shiteimasen ka?
And if you're a guy (sorry I can't tell) I'd use Boku instead of Watashi for this situation.

何で愛していませんか。
Basically: Why (do you) not love (me)?
貴方は、何で私に愛していませんか。
Basically: You, why not love me?

Gah. Sorry. I'm sleepy. @-@ And I have a very short attention span...*Gah* And I'm a girl. [img]
http://demontiger.de.funpic.org/cutenew ... ons/^^.gif[/img] Sorry, but it's kind of fun confusing people sometimes.
Hmm...Can you put that in Romaji, Machina Maw? I'm afraid I know nothing about Katakana/Hiragana/Kanji.
Edit: Or you could just tell me about any sites that can turn Kana/Hiragana/Kanji into Romaji...if there are any. It'd be pretty helpful. [img]

I agree. Machina Maw, can you please put that in Romaji? I can read Katakana and Hiragana, but not Kanji.

貴方 << Anata. Don't often see it in Kanji though...
何 << Nan/Nani
愛 << Ai
Sentence 1: nan de ai shiteimasen ka
Sentence 2: Anata wa, nan de watashi ni ai shiteimasen ka
Don't know* any programmes for changing Hiragana to Romaji sorry. I'd just learn them if I were you.

If you're a girl, shouldn't you use アタシ?

なぜ愛してくれないの。 Naze ai shite kurenai na. Why won't you love me?
___は、なぜ愛してくれないの。___ wa, naze ai shite kurenai no. Why won't _____ love me?
As Machina Maw said, なんで (nande) could be used instead of なぜ (naze).

Yes, you can use
atashi if you are a girl. But it's usually used by young girls exclusively.
Watashi: Both genders
Boku: male
Atashi: girl, young girl
Ore: mainly male, boastful
e.g.
"Ore wa subete ga kachitoru!"
(I'm going to achive everything!)

Watashi is probably the safest for both genders until you get a feel for the language and whom you are speaking to.
doushite watashi o ai shite kurenai no?
Is another option. The 'no' gives it a more feminine feel. B)
