How I Love You Breaks Down
I (I (..)) / LOVE (L (.-..) O (---) V (...-) E (.)) / YOU (Y (-.--) O (---) U (..-))
The slashes mark word gaps: one before love and one before you. Inside each word, the letters run together with short gaps — three dot units between letters and seven between words when spoken aloud. That rhythm is what makes the phrase recognisable by ear before you parse a single dot.

Help Me in Morse Code
A practical two-word signal, and a common first exercise for new operators because it pairs one long word with one very short one.
.... . .-.. .--. / -- . — use the player above to hear how the long help sets up the abrupt me.
Shortest greeting
Hi in Morse Code
Two letters, five symbols in total, and one of the fastest complete phrases anyone can learn to send.
.... .. — H is four dots and I is two, so the whole greeting fits in a single breath.
Said with dots and dashes
“F You” in Morse Code
A blunt phrase that shows up in films and novelty signals. The letters themselves are ordinary: F, then the word YOU.
..-. / -.-- --- ..- — same pattern as the ending of I love you, which is worth double-checking before you tap it out at someone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is I love you in Morse code?01
I love you is written as .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..- in International Morse code. Each slash separates the three words, and the spaces inside each group separate the letters I, L-O-V-E, and Y-O-U.
How do you separate letters and words in Morse code?02
Use one space between letters, and a slash or three spaces between words. In sound, a letter gap lasts about three dot units and a word gap about seven, which is why I love you reads as three distinct groups.
Can I copy or play these Morse phrases?03
Yes. Every phrase on this page has Copy and Play buttons. Play renders the pattern as audio at 20 WPM and 600 Hz in your browser, and Copy places the dots and dashes on your clipboard.
Is Morse code a secret code?04
Morse code is an encoding, not encryption. Anyone with a chart can read it, which is exactly why it works for friendly signals and learning exercises rather than true secrecy.
