Aww..that's a lot for a small country to bear. On Nova, the PBS show, it said that the fault line that caused that isn't through yet, either. Between Mother Nature and the political turmoil, Ayiti has a lot on its plate lately! May your family stay safe.
Thanks. They should be safe on the hills in the southern part for now. The people of Haiti are made stronger by each of the country's plight. We'll keep on loving and living.
I'm so sorry about your country's devastation. Did you lose a family home down there?
Thank God, no. My two brothers were in Carrefour in the middle of everything. They escaped just in time. They have since moved to the outskirts of Haiti - a little bit more South. I went to Haiti last March. I was devastated to see the neighborhood I grew up in. Most of it is totally gone. It's like a part of me is gone forever. The second floor of my home, that was a new addition, was gone. But the first floor which was "strongly" built about 30 years ago remains in good shape with just a few cracks in the walls and ceiling. I am thankful for that.
I know probably five words in Creole! No, I'm not Haitian, I know French but sadly Haitians don't like 2 speak French so I want to learn Creole so I can talk to some Haitians on Twitter
That's cool. Haitians in the U.S. may not be interested much in French. But in Haiti, speaking French tend to elevate your social status. It shows that you're educated.
Are you a Haitian?
Yes. Born in Port-Au-Prince, raised at Arcahaie west of Haiti.
and you? your creole is good.
and you? your creole is good.
Good grief! That means you could end up with a sentence like:The ladies love their beds - Fanm yo remnen kabann yo yo!!AAANNNMMMMWEEEEEYYY!! lmao
Ha! ha! yes! Just, Fanm yo renmen kabann yo.
Your Creole is great. Keep it up!
Your Creole is great. Keep it up!
I don't understand "yo"! It's a pronoun, but you put it behind words to make them plural, so how do you know which one you have in a sentence?
When "yo" follows a subject or noun, it's a plural definite article.
example:
Ti moun yo - the children
kabann yo - the beds
fanm yo - the women, the ladies
Kabann yo chè - the beds are expensive
fanm yo kontan - the ladies are happy.
When "yo" follows a verb, it's an object pronoun.
example:
gade yo - look at them
m renmen yo - I love them
li manje yo - he ate them
When "yo" comes before a verb, it's a subject pronoun.
example:
yo kontan - they are happy
yo pale anpil - they talk a lot
yo sezi - they are surprised
:) "yo" is also a possessive adjective when it follows a noun.
example:
yo kontan - they are happy
yo pale anpil - they talk a lot
yo sezi - they are surprised
:) "yo" is also a possessive adjective when it follows a noun.
example:
kay yo a bèl - their house is beautiful
machin yo a twò chè - their car is too expensive
lekòl yo a piti - their school is small.
kay yo a bèl - their house is beautiful
machin yo a twò chè - their car is too expensive
lekòl yo a piti - their school is small.
Sometimes it helps to look at it in the context of a sentence.
Find the meaning of yo in the following 2 sentences.
1. yo renmen machin yo anpil.
2. papa yo mouri. Sa fè yo tris.

you are sexy
(Use either one of these 3 sentences if you're addressing a female person)
And, if you're adressing a male person, you'd say:
Ou byen kanpe!
