English term or phrase: I love you
hi, I wish I could speak Czech becuase one of my best friends does, and it would be cool to be able to converse with him.

Czech translation:Mám tě rád. / Mám tě ráda.
Explanation:
Use the first phrase if you are a man and the second if you are a woman.

I offer these in contrast to the previous answer because "Miluji tě" is for lovers. Use my phrase if you talk to your close friend but not really your love.
