The first two examples make an original reunion exchange. You will also say that you love someone and ask whether they missed you. These sentences can express family affection as well as romantic feelings.
The idea
Seni özledim means “I missed you” or “I have missed you”; the past form does not itself say the feeling has ended. Seni özlüyorum makes the ongoing feeling explicit. Seni seviyorum means “I love you”. Here seni is the person you miss or love, and the verb ending identifies the speaker. To return the feeling, begin with Ben de (“me too”), keeping de separate.
Examples
- Seni çok özledim.I missed you so much.
- Ben de seni özledim.I missed you too.
- Seni çok seviyorum.I love you very much.
- Seni özlüyorum.I miss you.
- Beni özledin mi?Did you miss me?
- Ben de seni seviyorum.I love you too.
- Annemi çok özledim.I missed my mother so much.

Watch out
Do not swap the roles: Beni özledin mi? asks “Did you miss me?”, whereas Seni özledim says “I missed you”. The object is seni, not sana: neither verb takes the “to you” form in these sentences.
Try it yourself
Fill the gap with the object form of sen: I missed you so much.
Show answer or example answer
seni
seni: the person being missed is “you”, so sen becomes the object seni. The speaker is already identified by özledim.
Reply “I love you too.” Fill the gap with the word meaning “too”.
Show answer or example answer
de
de: the reply adds the speaker to the people who feel love. It is a separate word meaning “too”; bende would mean “in/on me”.
Say “I miss you” with özlemek in the present continuous. Include “you”.
Show answer or example answer
Seni özlüyorum. / Özlüyorum seni.
Seni özlüyorum.: the prompt asks for the ongoing form. The stem özle- becomes özlü- before -yor; özleyorum is not the correct spelling.
Ask one close person “Did you miss me?” Include “me”.
Show answer or example answer
Beni özledin mi? / Özledin mi beni?
Beni özledin mi?: “me” is the object beni, while özledin addresses one person as “you”. The separate mi turns this into a yes/no question.
