Everybody Hurts

“Hug me” in as many languages as possible. Inspired by this comic from sinfest.xyz:

And here we go!

Hug me

Language	Hug me	Legit Source	Notes
English	Hug me	Native
Spanish	Abrázame	Native
Mandarin	Bao bao	Sharon Chen	Translates to 'hug hug' which is the way little children ask their parents for hugs.
Cantonese	Lahm lahm	Yvonne Kong	Translates to 'hug hug' which is the way little children ask their parents for hugs, similar to the Mandarin phrase.
Korean	Ahn-ah-juh	Jae Young Kim
Japanese	Daite kure	Hiroyuki Ichikawa	So Matt (see below) mentioned that this might have implications beyond just 'hugging' in japanese culture.
Japanese 2	Dakishimeru	Matt Mo	This is supposed to be more accurate semantically in terms of just asking for a 'hug'
Italian	Abbracciami	Yush Gupta
Hindi	Gule melo	Yush Gupta
French	Faire la bise	Phillipe Ajoux	This translates to the kiss on the cheek greeting French people do. There's no actual 'hug me' phrase in French. Closest thing would be 'embrassez-moi' which means to caress intimately.
Russian	Obnimi menya	Yuliya Chekmareva	I originally asked a Taxi driver who told me it was 'Day mne ruku' which translates to 'give me your hand'. Yuliya was kind enough to correct such erroneous mistake.
