Se vre comes from the French "C'est vrai" which means "It's true".
The correct way to say it and write it is "Se vre".
But the phonetic of this phrase has been altered to "E vre" (probably from pronouncing it too quickly)Now it's a regular part of the Haitian Creole speech.
So now both "Se vre" and "E vre" means the same thing: "It's true".
This phrase may qualify as what you call a metathesis.
Lastly, "Se vre" may be used as a declarative or interrogative sentence.
Se vre. → It's true.
Se vre? - Is it true?
