'Love conquers all' rendered as a nine-character sentence with a military verb.

What a Japanese person actually thinks

Reads like a machine-translated sentence, because the structure is pure English with Japanese particles bolted on. The 征服 makes it faintly alarming.

Meaning

Literally
love + (topic) + everything + (object) + conquers
Actually
A textbook-perfect translation. 征服 is the verb for military conquest — subjugating a territory. Applied to love it sounds less romantic than it does imperial.

Scores

Naturalness

Grammatically correct, idiomatically absent. Nobody would ever write this.

Coolness

Nine characters. It's a sentence, not an inscription, and it's a translated one.

Watch out

  • high征服 is the word used for conquering nations and colonising territory. It is not a romantic verb in Japanese.

Get this instead

  • en
    the fated thread between people
    One character carrying the idea that some connections were always going to happen. Infinitely better than a translated slogan.
  • ai wa tsuyoshi
    love is strong
    If it must be a statement about love's power, this classical phrasing at least sounds Japanese.
