Please translate the following: Ek is ok baie lies fir jou en kan nie wag om jou wee te sien nie. My South African boyfriend wrote that to me so a translation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Have a great day!!!!

i am very ok (?) -- for you, and can not be away from you??? --- it's something like that. i'll try to find a book and look up some of those words.
p.s. -- don't listen to the answer above this one. afikaans is NOT a mix between german and dutch. it's a grammatically simplified offshoot of dutch with english, bantu and i guess khoisian loan words.
----------------
edit-
ok, i can't find definitions for the words "lies", "fir", and "wee" because this book is limited. i was wrong about a couple of the other words though. "sien" doesn't mean "to be"., it means "to see"., and "wag" doesn't mean "way" or "away"., it means "wait".
if i had to take a stab, i'd say it means:
"i am ok much loss for you, and can not wait around you while you don't see."
hmm,,, maybe you should go with a second opinion if one comes along.

I am also very much in love with you and I can't wait to see you again.
The word "lies" is spelled wrong, it should be "lief". "Lief" is derived from "liefde" = "love".

Afrikaans is a combination of German & Dutch if that helps
