Dezole! What about emenaje (to move in), remwe(to move an object or to make something move), ale/vini anstale(to move to), mouvwa(to move), emouvwa(to move emotionally), emi(be moved),roule(to move vehicle)? What are verbs in creole that means to move on emotionally or figuratively.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Like I said, there are many many ways to say To move in Creole.
DeleteI guess, to your list, I could add even more: enspire, touche (to be moved emotionally), bwase, sakaje, bay sakad, pouse, pote (to move) and many more.....
Thanks.
To move on can be translated in Creole as avanse, vanse, pwogrese, fè devan, ale devan, kontinye devan, vanse pou pi devan, etc.....
Kenbe la.
So, can I say "remwe chèz la" if I want to say "move the chair"
ReplyDeleteAnd how do I use mouvwa?
Haitian Creole remwe is about stirring, agitating, whipping up, etc..
DeleteFor example you can say "Yo te remwe tè a anvan yo te koumanse plante."
And I would prefer to use afekte or touche instead of mouvwa
DeleteHave you heard of the creole verb "tyoule"?
ReplyDeleteYes, tyoule, - to move out of the way, to move.
DeleteThis little boy used to come at our school bench, wanting to sit among us girls. He would say, "Tchoule kò w! Tchoule kò w non!"
Lol!
