Yes. Something like that.
Note, though, that 'unn' is the imperative of the verb.
Thus "Love me!" rather than "You love me!"
It's a present-preterite verb.
at unna (to love)
Present (strong):
ek ann vér unnum
þú annt þér unnið
hann ann þeir unna
Preterite (weak):
ek unni vér unnum
þú unnir þér unnið
hann unni þeir unnu
> Also, along the same lines, I want to say "Kiss me you fool".
> Does "Kyss mik þú flón" make sense?
I'd omit the 'þú'.
