Kisa yon 'Kè sere' ye?

Kè sere → heavy heart, sadness, melancholia

Menaj li kite l. Li pa ka manje, li pa ka bwè.  Kè l sere.
His girlfriend left him.  He can't eat, he can't drink.  He's sad.

Kè m sere.  Tristès anpare m.
My heart hurts.  I'm overcome with sadness.

anpare - to plunder, to pillage, to storm
Examples: 
Lajwa anpare m – I was overcome with joy
Tristès anpare m – I was overcome with sadness
Pa kite dezespwa anpare w – Do not be depressed
Grangou anpare l – He was very hungry
Lapè anpare nou – We were overcome by fear


Lè li di m l'ap kite'm nan, mwen gen yon sèl kè sere ki pran m.
When she said she was leaving me, I was taken by grief.
