Unë të dua
Explanation:
Hi Vondreake,

Please note that "Të dua" also means "I love you". In Albanian there is no difference between "I love you" and "I want you". If one wants to say precisely "I love you", he/she either says "Të dua" or more explicitely "Unë të dashuroj", as "dashuri" means "love" and "unë dashuroj" = I love (verb, indef.).

Best, Fabiana
