Mandaly, this is like second message with same content...I don't want to be impolite or anything like that, so please don't be offended...I just wanna your subtle help in writing some witty or normal birthday greeting card for one year old boy, but in kreyol fashion.... Mesi davans, bel Manda

Happy birthday - bòn fèt

 Today you turn one, I wish you many more birthdays.
Jodi a ou gen ennan, mwen swete ou anpil lòt anivèsè ankò.

 I hope you had a good year.
M'espere premye ane ou te anfòm.

 First birthday is always the best, but you'll never remember it.
Premye anivèsè nesans yo toujou pi bon, men ou p'ap janm sonje l.

      Dakò :)

      "Touche tout zetwal yo  ak men ou, yo tèlman bèl rèv ou va tounen reyalite.  Se pou solèy la briye nan lavi ou.  Sa se souwè mwen pou ou."

      You can change touche with manyen; but I prefer touche here.

      And you change souwè with dezi.

      Pase bon jounen.

      Non, it's "ak men ou, yo..."  Just like I wrote it.
      We do not have to say "men ou yo".
