do you have a phrase for "the silent treatment" in Creole?

to give the silent treatment → meprize, pa okipe

pay no attention to → pa okipe

Pa okipe l - Pay no attention to him. or  Ignore him

M p'ap okipe w - I'll pay no attention to you. or I'll ignore you
 

Why do you give me the silent treatment?
Poukisa ou meprize m?
or
Poukisa ou pa okipe m?

She's giving me the silent treatment.
L'ap meprize m.
