Hello!

Can we say this: "You're sweet to ask how I am." ?

Cheers

**Neither a teacher nor a native speaker.**

Hmm, good question.
I would write it this way:
It's sweet that you ask how I am.

Let's see what the others will say.

Cheers!

You can, and I've heard it before. However, I would be more likely to say "It's sweet of you to ask how I am".
 
Once again I was just about to suggest exactly the same as ems.

You could say that, but most people would say, "It's very nice of you to ask how I am."

It's kind of. There's plenty to say
