The group of adjectives that come before a noun are few.
So, you could memorize the ones in that group.
I am posting this list here. If anyone out there knows of any more Haitian Creole adjectives that's usually placed before a noun, please add them to the comment section and I'll bring them to this post. Thanks
I'll be sure to add some more as I think of them.

DeleteMèsi Shane. That's very helpful!
DeleteMwen wè ou fin bon nan Kreyòl la nèt papa :)
Chapo ba!
NOUVO se yon adjektif ou kapab itilize anvan ak apre yon non.
ReplyDeletePa egzanp ou kapab di:
Mwen gen yon nouvo bebe.
Li se yon nouvo manman.
Li te entwodui yon nouvo prensip.
Enpi ou kapab di tou:
Se se yon bagay nouvo.
E adjectives MEYÈ ak PWOCHEN oubyen PWOCHÈN?
ReplyDeleteeske yo di: Sa se meyè chwa a (that's the better choice)
Yo konn di: pwochèn fwa (next time)
Enpi yo konn di: mwa pwochen (next month)
Nouvo would fit in the "Age" category.
ReplyDeletePwochen would fit in the "Order" category
Meye would fit in the "Goodness" category
Anfòm! Mèsi :)
