"I am overwhelmed with joy."
I am overwhelmed with joy.
M'ap debòde ak lajwa.
My heart is overwhelmed with joy.
Kè mwen debòde ak lajwa.
and also:
Kè mwen ap debòde ak lajwa.
Literally this means: My heart is inundated or overflowing with joy.
But isn't "debòde" the intransitive verb "to overflow"? I'm looking for a transitive verb like "to overwhelm", where A "overwhelms" B. Hopefully something other than "anvahi".

ReplyDeleteAh wi!
ReplyDeleteIn that case, you could use the following transitive verbs:
ranpli - to fill
plen - to fill
inonde - to inundate
chaje - to load
Mwen ranpli ak lajwa
Mwen plen ak lajwa
Mwen inonde ak lajwa
Mwen chaje ak lajwa
and one more...
Lajwa inonde mwen.
