How would you say the phrase "Love me clean" in creole? (edited)

Love me clean - No equivalent expression
Clean love (self-love)- lanmou pwòp
Pure love - lanmou pi, lanmou san relasyon

Lanmou pwòp means having respect for oneselfhaving a healthy self-esteem, accepting who you are

Lanmou pwochen is the love you're supposed to have for one another as in, "Love One Another...", it's brotherly love.

Lanmou chanèl is sexual love, sexual lust, primitive instinct

Lanmou pi is pure love, as in "God's love"

Love as an object can be translated as "idòl" pronounced "ee-dohl"

You are special - Ou se yon moun ki spesyal

You are important - Ou se yon moun ki enpòtan
