I'm a little confused. I thought "I love you" was "Mwen renmen ou." But I keep seeing that this also means "I like you." I am looking for a strong way to say "I love you." What would you say to your son or daughter?

Yes, you are right.

To love, in Haitian Creole, is translated as: Renmen.

I love you.

Mwen renmen ou.

To like, in Haitian Creole, is also translated as: Renmen.

I like this chair.

Mwen renmen chèz sa.

Other ways to express love in Haitian Creole, as in English, are:

I love you (as in I'm fond of you).

Mwen gen afeksyon pou ou.

I care for you.

Mwen sousye m pou ou.

I'm in love with you.

Mwen damou pou ou.

He cherishes me.

Li dòlote mwen.

To cherish or caress → dòlote

I appreciate you.

Mwen apresye ou.

and others...

Ask me anything
