Noun for 'love'?


Is there a noun form for the word love in Japanese?

I know saying すき(suki) or だいすき(daisuki) can be interpreted as "I love/like
you" but I am not sure if these are also nouns and if so how to use in a way
that would not be misinterpreted?




Possible candidates include but aren't limited to (also, I marked the する verbs
and な adjectives):

> [愛]{あい}(する) love; to love
>
> [恋]{こい} romantic love
>
> [好]{す}き(な) liked; fond of; love
>
> [大好]{だいす}き(な) very liked; very fond of; loving a lot
>
> [愛好]{あいこう}(する) love; adoration; to love; to adore
>
> [恋愛]{れんあい}(する) love; love-making; passion; emotion; affection; to love; to
> make love; to be passionate; to be emotional; to be affectionate

I'm not a native speaker, so sorry if I messed up some of the nuances of each.
