Okay, I have let the others handle this, and it still isn't clear... so I
am going to try and explain...
To say "I love you":
qamuSHa'
(there are other ways to say "love", but I am using this particular
version, because I prefer it, okay?)
To say "I love you, too":
qamuSHa' je
This is explained pretty clearly on page 55 of the KD, in section 5.3:
"The noun conjuntion <je> has an additional function: when it
follows a verb, it means 'also, too'.
"<qaleghpu' je> 'I also saw you, I saw you too.'"
Make sense now?
