anfom kou bas- what is the back-story of this phrase? mwen konnen sa vle di "excellent" oubyen "great" - men, poukisa? tou, sa ke fe "adye" "koulangit" and "wipip" vle di literalman? mwen pa vle di nan madichon pa aksidan! :)

Anfòm kou bas → "bas" may have something to do with a bass drum or conga. Where it would literally mean :as awesome as a bass drum

Dye (from French: Dieu) → God

Adye (A Dieu!) → to God (literally)

Bondye (Bon Dieu) → good God (literally)

Wipip! → Wow! Geez!

Koulangit (is a more tame version of Koulangèt)
Koulangit is acceptable
Koulangèt is bad

Depi w'ap pale Kreyòl, w'ap di yon madichon kanmenm :)

Ask me anything
