It's Latin for "I love you" (in a non-sexual way, and the "you" is plural). Could be Portuguese too, since its a Romance language, but I'm not sure. That's what it means in Latin, though. The more usual word for love that passed into the Romance languages is amare, but for a Roman amare had a slightly sexual connotation; it wouldn't be right to use the word for certain types of love (parent-to-child, etc.). Biblically, diligere is the word used for expressing God's love for mankind.

That is what you get when you type 'I love you' into an online Latin "translator". It is actually supposed to say 'te amo', but the translators don't do Latin very well at all.

Be careful. Probably latin.

Deus diligo vos means "I, God, love you". God loves you would be Deus diligit vos

It is Latin for 'I love you' not Portuguese that would be 'Te amo'
like in Spanish.

It is definitely Latin.
ego diligo vos = I love you
