I m having difficulty finding the correct translations for "I wish to see you". I have tried 'swete' from the dictionary and it doesn't sound right.

In that case you mean "desire" or "feel like"
Example: I feel like eating a cookie. or  I desire to see you.

The Haitian creole translation is: anvi.

1. I desire to see you. - M anvi wè w.

2. I feel like eating chocolate cake. - M anvi manje yon ti gato chokola.

3. What do you feel like eating today? - Kisa w anvi manje jodi a?

4. I wish I could see my child. - M anvi wè pitit mwen.

5. I feel like kissing you. - M anvi anbrase w.

6. Do you feel like throwing up? - Eske ou anvi vomi?

7. Do you have to go pee? - Eske ou anvi al pipi?

Sometimes you'll hear:
8. M anvi wè mari m. - I miss my husband. or I wish I could be with my husband.

9. M anvi wè w. - I miss you.  or  I wish I could see you

10. M anvi wè fanmi m. - I wish I could see my family.
