Ich kann es nicht ändern, dass ich mich in Dich verliebt habe.

English Translation

I cannot help falling in love with you.

Why is “Dich” capitalized here?

It is old fashioned but allowed to capitalize pronouns of adress like “Du”, “Dich”, "Sie, “Ihr” “Euch”. if you adress someone directly e.g. in a letter as a sign of respect or appreciation.

IMHO not a bad idea if you write that sentence in a letter. :love_letter:

I saw this capitalization of “Du” and “Dich” in a transcription of a podcast in German just today, in the “Slow German” series.
