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
15. M pa janm sèl – I’m never alone
16. Pa janm bliye m – don’t ever forget me
17. Pa janm lage m – don’t ever let me go
18. Pa janm pale ak bouch plen – never talk with your mouth full
19. Pa janm di jamè – never say never
20. Pa janm sispann souri - never stop smiling
Believe - kwè
How would you translate: I never believe
Sit down – chita
How would you translate : I never sit down
.Mèsi, orevwa e pa janm sispann aprann
Thank you, goodbye and never stop learning.

if I translate that, Katia, I like ur shape.
I like your shape - m renmen fòm ou or m renmen fòm kò w.
If you specifically want to mean sexy, you gotta phrase it differently as follow:
ou anfòm
ou byen kanpe or
ou sexy
all three sentences above translates "you are sexy"
but you definitely cannot say, "m renmen sexy ou la."
If you specifically want to mean sexy, you gotta phrase it differently as follow:

I said Katia mwen renmen sexy ou la. how's the spelling.
incorrect: Katia mwen renmen sexy ou la
correct: Katia mwen renmen fòm ou.
correct: Katia mwen renmen fòm ou.
I would like to have a copy the loan agreement send to me. check spelling. missing words.
Mwen ta renmen ou voye yon kopi dokiman m te siyen an ban mwen.
