Ai suru meaning?

Postby rayman.the.one.and.only1_498570 » February 9th, 2015 4:27 am

So I heard that the verb suru can mean "to do/make) and I hear Ai suru a lot in Japanese songs, and it sort of makes me uncomfortable. In English to "make love" implies sexuality, so naturally I get a bit uncomfortable at hearing Ai suru. Though maybe I shouldn't be, so I guess my question is: Does Ai Suru or Koi suru suggest sexuality or does it merely mean the act of loving someone else? Thanks in advance/ yoroshiku. ^_~

rayman.the.one.and.only1 san,

Well…
Aisuru means “love”and doesn’t mean “make love”at all.
Noun + particle を + suru means “do the noun”.
Aisuru doesn’t have the particle を therefore, it deosn’t means “do”at all.
Koisuru is like “being in love”.
Although aisuru is often used in songs, it is hardly used in our real conversations.
Japanese native speakers often use “daisuki desu”instead of “aisiteiamsu”.
I hope it could be helpful.
