I volunteer at a medical clinic in Haiti and I've heard a non-Creole speaking American shout 'Yon lot moun!' when they are ready to triage the next person. Is that a real phrase Haitians use? Is it rude or inappropriate? Would 'Suivan!' better?
Actually yes, it can be used as it is. People would understand this as another person, next person, or somebody else
It's not rude or inappropriate. I cannot say that one is better than the other. They are just different terms that people use to call the next person in line.
