"mwen montre ou chimin an" or
ReplyDeletemwen montre ou chimen an ?
Which one is correct ?
The second one, Mwen montre ou chimen an is correct.
DeleteI am so grateful for these lessons...but I am confused.
ReplyDelete#4 of your examples...."They sing all night" Yo chante tout nan nwit...I don't understand why nan is there. It isn't "they sing all the night" right? Can you explain for me please.
Some people say "nan nuit", others say "lannuit" which means "night".
DeleteSo you can say
Yo chante tout nuit la.
Yo chante tout nan nuit.
or
Yo chante tout lannuit.
Hi, I have a question, why are "We" and plural "You" written like "Nou" in creole?
