  1. Wait wait... I can use "ak" like:

    "M'ap panse ak ou"? (thinking 'about' you)

    Is this more natural than...

    "M'ap panse sou ou" or "M'ap panse osije ou" ?

    1. Yes, it is (more natural).

      But you can say:
      Panse m sou ou.
      Lide m sou.

      I'm thinking of you.

      Depi maten lide m sou ou.
      I've been thinking of you since this morning.

      Depi lotrejou panse m sou timoun yo.
      Since the other day I've been thinking of the kids.

      Also: "panse m frape sou ou", or "lide'm frape sou ou"
      Chak fwa lide m frape sou ou, m santi m kontan
      Every time I think of you I feel happy.
