The Hebrew language is like most other languages in regards to pronoun matching with the verb. In this case, if you (a man) want to say I love you to a woman, the verb takes on a masculine ending, which actually nothing is added to the word. When a feminine ending is added, the verb either takes on a "t" or "h" sound at the end of the verb.
The same goes with the pronoun "you." Except, the pronouns here take on a possession. The person "I" is the one loving "you," which then adds a possessive pronoun to the end of the word- this is called an enclitic pronoun. For the masculine enclitic pronoun a "kha" sound is added, whereas a "kh" is added when saying it so a woman.
Hope this was helpful and will provide you another means to say I love you to that special someone in your life :).
