HOW DO I SAY DAYS OF THE WEEK

dimanch - Sunday

Ask me anything

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.

how do you say: what's new, brother? (not necessarily talking to a brother)

(Haitian Creole word for brother is frè. You may use it to mean family or a good friend. It carries the same meaning as in the English language.)

Brother → frè

My brother → frè mwen

Sa ki nouvo, frè mwen? - What's new my brother?

Sak pase, nèg mwen? - What's up, my man?
