how do you say (like to a child) 'you're silly'? i've been told there is not a good translation for this in creole that has the same connotation. thanks!

Here are some non-offensive translations for silly (as in wacky, giddy, playful, childish)

You are being silly.
Ou sou blag.
Ou sou jwèt.
Ou sou komedi.
Ou sou tenten.
Ou sou plezi.
W'ap plezante.
W'ap betize.

You are so silly!
Tèt cho!
Fawouchè!
Ou komik!

The following Creole transaltions for "silly" are offensive:
enbesil, idyo, egare, fou.
Ask me anything
