What is the proper way to say 'I miss you' in Kiswahili?
A Keynan friend said the proper way is 'Nakuhata,' while a Tanzania friend said the proper way is 'Nakukumbuka.' Now, I am confused.
Ninakukosa - it doesn't really mean I miss you. If you said it to a Swahili speaker it wouldn't really make a good sense.
Kukosa - the act of not finding what you were looking for
I can't really find a sentence in Swahili that would mean "I miss you". The one I can find people use they mix it with the english word by saying
"nimekumisi" (I missed you). But "nimekumisi" is not a swahili word it's just a mixture of english and swahili put together so you'll never find it in any dictionary..but you can use it to a swahili person when you're talking but don't use it when it's something like an essay you're writing.

Ahh I assumed. Now can you kindly tell me the 'proper' way to say 'I miss you' in the context of a friend.
Asante Sana mwalimu
