Can you tell me what this says?

愛してる

I’m think it’s Japanese. And I know it has to do something with love. But any help would be appreciated.

Also, if someone could tell me how to pronounce it, that would be nice.

If your computer or fluther can’t read the characters, let me know and I’ll post an external link.

Well, I can confirm that it’s Japanese. Also, from googling it and looking at various ways in which it’s used (plus hit counts [3,890,000]), looks like it means ‘I love you’ and is pronounced as ‘aishiteru” (see this for confirmation).

Translation: Japanese » English
愛してる Aishiteru
One of the most popular phrases in any language is probably “I love you.” In Japanese, “love” is “ai （愛）,” and the verb form “to love” is “aisuru （愛する）.” “I love you” can be literally translated as “aishite imasu （愛しています）”. “Aishiteru （愛してる）,” “aishiteru yo （愛してるよ）” or “aishiteru wa (愛してるわ, female speech)” is normally used in conversation. However, the Japanese don’t say “I love you” as often as Western people do, because of cultural differences. I am not surprised if some Japanese say that they have never used these expressions in their life
