what does Gade koze mezanmi..mean in english

Mezanmi! (expression) - Wow! Oh my God!  Oh man! Man!

"Gade koze mezanmi!" is an expression that may be synonymous with expressions like: "what a mess!", "gee whiz!", and even "gosh!"
This sentence doesn't translate literally.

Here are other variations of that sentence that you'll hear quite often.

Gade yon koze! → What the heck!, What in the world!
Gade tenten mezanmi! → what a nuisance!
Gade yon tèt chaje mezanmi! → what a dilemma!
Gade yon mizè! → what a misery!
Gade pwoblèm mezanmi! → what a headache!

You may also replace the word "Gade" with "Ala", and the meaning of the sentence will not change.
Example:
Ala tenten mezanmi! → what a nuisance!
Ala yon tèt chaje mezanmi! → what a dilemma!
Ala yon mizè! → what a misery!
Ala pwoblèm mezanmi! → what a headache!
Ala yon bèl ti fi! → What a pretty little girl!
Ala yon lavi! → What a life!
Ask me anything
