Bonjou, Mandaly. I don't want to bother you, but I simply had to ask you whether you know what are the most common expressions or sayings from haitian countryside....

Expressions vary depending on the location. North and South have a slight accent. People in the North tend to add a -y at the end of their sentences. Way further in the countryside old traditions are very well preserved. People are quite welcoming and courteous. If you do travel to the counrtyside, and you are on foot, don't forget to say, Bonjou misye! or Bonjou madanm! to passers sharing the dirt roads with you.
