Creole word ‘sou’ is used as ‘be in the mood for’. If I say ‘m pa sou manje’ it means ‘I’m not in the mood for food’. Did I get this correctly? Can “sou” be used for other activities?Mandalyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15267219250311586945noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709182402663786720.post-17223994901014623422014-03-08T11:22:18.896-05:002014-03-08T11:22:18.896-05:00Yes it is.
People do say:
M sou sa. - I'm in a...Yes it is.<br />People do say:<br /><b>M sou sa.</b> - <i>I'm in a good mood</i><br /><b>Ou sou jwèt.jodi a</b> - <i>You're in a playful mood.</i>; <i>You're all about joking around today.</i><br /><b>M sou pale.</b> - <i>I feel like talking.</i><br /><br />Instead of saying "Mwen sou ou kounye a.", you can say "Mwen sou bò w kounye a." - This eliminates confusion.<br />But Haitians most commonly use this specific sentence in the negative.<br /><br />Yes #3 can be translated as "we're not in the mood for that".

Like I'm in...Is this also used in the positive? Like I'm interested in talking with you. Mwen sou pale avè w? I am paying attention to you now.
