I see that you have translated "as soon as" as "menm kote", is there another translation for it?

Yes.
As soon as → menm kote, menm lè, osito, sito, imedyatman, dèke

  1. can you say "kou" for "as soon as"? such as "Kou mwen finn bwe kafe mwen, m a pale ave w." "As soon as I finish drinking my coffee, I will talk to you."
