Kouman vs. Kijan

Use either when asking a question.

Use kouman, kòman, or kijan for how
Kouman ou ye?
Kijan ou ye?
Kòman ou ye?
How are you?


Kouman w santi w?
Kijan w santi w?
Kòman ou santi w?
How are you feeling?


Kouman ou rele?
Kijan ou rele?
Kòman ou rele?
How are you called?
What's your name?


Kouman yo di "book" an Kreyòl?
Kijan yo di "book" an kreyòl?
Kòman yo di "book" an kreyòl?
How do they say "book" in Creole?
________
But, use Creole "Konsa" when you want to say "how as in the way"


That's how it is.
Se konsa li ye.


This is how we party.
Se konsa nou fete.


This is not the way to do it.
Se pa konsa pou fè li.
