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.

When Haitians ask "what's your name?" Sometimes they add "se" at the beginning of the question. Right?

Right.
They often add "se" before other questions too.

Se kijan ou rele?
What's your name?

Se kimoun ou ye?
Who are you?

Se ki kote ou soti?
Where do you come from?

Se kisa sa ye?
What is this?

Se kimoun ou panse w ye la?
Who do you think you are?

Yes, this happens often. But you certainly don't have to learn it that way. Adding "Se" in front of the questions is not necessary

whats your name

What's your name?
Kijan ou rele?
Kouman ou rele?

Hi. How do you say in Haitian Creole "I love my baby" or "I love my baby-girl"?

Baby girl, in Haitian Creole, may be translated as the endearing name of your choice:

Baby girl (as in darling, precious angel, sweetheart)
ti lezanj, chouchou, kòkòt, ti cheri

I love my baby girl.
Mwen damou pou ti lezanj mwen an.

my name is meredith

They call me Meredith - Mwen rele Meredith.

or

My name is Meredith -
Non mwen se Meredith.

how do you say hi my name is... in creole?

Bonjou, non mwen se ...Paul. (or)
Bonjou, mwen rele... Paul

either one is fine.

Ask me anything
