Loive is a nebulous word. It's a rather interesting cross between like and love, and was created because of the large gap between like and love. After all, quite a few relationships develop slowly, and once one surpasses the realm of like, it is naturally inhibitory to continue to use the same word to describe a deeper feeling.
Take, for example, the word "thanks." If your best friend gave you a card for your birthday, you'd most likely say "thanks." However, if a complete stranger volunteered to donate a kidney so that you could live properly without a dialysis machine and did not expect any remuneration, "thanks" would be quite inappropriate.
Loive is similarly oriented with "like" and "love." When a relationship has progressed beyond merely "like," yet has not reached the comfortably stable level of "love," "loive" serves as a safe and appropriate alternative. Many people are hesitant to use "love" in a casual setting, simply because it has so many deep and serious connotations. True, someone may say "I love you," but he/she may only mean "I care about you quite a bit." However, a married couple may say "I love you" and mean, "I am eternally bonded with you, and am willing to give my life so that you may live. I am prepared to spend the rest of my life at your side, and I hope you are, too."
Given these widely differing connotations, the use of the word "loive" is quite necessary to avoid unflattering misconceptions.
NOTE: "Loive" is pronounced "loy-vuh," with the "vuh" just like the "v" in "love." Simply replace the "lo" with a "loy" and you're set.

Get the loïc mug.When in a pub or club, most women will habitually return to the same toilet cubicle, perhaps because they know that it is relatively clean. This is the toilet to which one is loyal, hence loilet.
