BONJOU TOUT MOUN! – HELLO EVERYONE!

Last time we made negatives sentences such as:
M pa pale – I don’t speak
m pa konprann - I don't understand

Today we’ll make negatives sentences with NEVER.
Jamè - never
Janm - never

Jamè is a French word for never. In French it is written as jamais
Janm is the creole word derived from jamais.

In Haitian Creole we use both jamè and janm
Negative sentence = pa janm, or pa jamè


1. M pa konnen – I don’t know
2. M pa janm konnen – I never know

3. Nou pa pale – we don’t talk
4. Nou pa janm pale - We never talk

5. Ou pa konprann – you don’t understand
6. Ou pa janm konprann – you never understand

7. Pa gen moun la - There’s no one here
8. Pa janm gen moun la – there’s never anyone here

9. Pa lage – don’t give up
10. Pa janm lage – never give up, don’t ever give up

Let us look at a few more examples:

11. M pa janm li – I never read
12. Li pa janm travay – it never works
13. M pa janm bwè – I never drink
14. Li pa janm twò ta – it’s never too late
