what does 'ou wo.' avec 'chech' mean in english?

Ou wo. - you're tall.

chèch - could mean 'dry' if you're talking about something that was wet.
chèch - otherwise means  'skinny', 'bony', 'meagre'.
*Sometimes Haitians will say 'sèch' instead of 'chèch'.
Both means the same.


Examples:
1. chemiz la chèch. - the shirt is dry.

2. Manje a chèch. - The food is meagre. (not rich, no sauce)

3. Ti fi a chèch. - The little girl is skinny.

4. je chèch. - expression for a 'gutsy person'. It describes a person who has not a tear in their eyes.
