Is Haitian Creole translation for "Pretty" and "Sexy" the same?

What is pretty is not necessarily sexy. ..and vice versa.

So, are we talking about a pretty hatyon bèl chapo
Or could it be a sexy hat → yon bèl chapo

Or perhaps it's a pretty house → yon kay pwòp, yon bèl kay
Question?  Is the house pretty because it's clean?  Or, would it still be pretty if it was dirty?

A pretty woman perhaps:
yon joli bebe (if she's beautiful, maybe cute too)
Yon ti zanj (if she's immaculate)
Yon fanm bwòdè (if she's well dressed, not necessary classy)
Yon fanm kokèt (if she's got style)
Yon bèl nègès (a creole beauty?)
Yon Ezili Freda (captivating, even sexy)
yon fanm byen kanpe (if she's sexy)
yon fanm dyanm (she's got it all, maybe intimidating)


A handsome guy:
Yon gason byen kanpe (he's definitely got it)
Yon gason ak tout founiti klasik li (hello! sexy..)
Yon bo gason (handsome, does not necessarily mean sexy)


So, what's your Haitian Creole word for pretty or sexy :)

beautiful

beautiful → bèl, anfòm, byen kanpe
Pretty → joli, anfòm, bèl
attractive → atiran

'Label' is that a creole because i don't understant it.

labèl (from the French La belle) → beautiful
sometimes you'll also hear:
mabèl (from the French Ma belle) → beautiful

Example:
Sa'k pase labèl?

In Haiti, what do you call a "stunner", a "dreamboat", a beautiful Haitian woman?

If she has dark skin, she's called a "bèl nègès'" or a "marabou".
If she's mulatto, she's sometimes called a "bèl grimèl".
She would probably be an 7 to 10 on a 1-10 scale, 1 being plain and 10 being most desirable

How do you say beautiful soul?

literal translation - bèl nanm
Haitian Creole expression - bote enteryè


When you translate beautiful soul literally in Haitian Creole, it does not hold the same meaning as in English... at least not with the same impact.

bote enteryè, which literally means 'inside beauty', translates that expression best.

bèl ti fi

Bèl ti fi - beautiful girl, pretty girl, or cute girl
