earrings
zanno
I lost my earrings.
Mwen pèdi zanno mwen.
Have you seen them?
Eske ou te wè yo?
If you find them, put them aside for me.
Si ou jwenn yo, sere yo pou mwen.

What are the basic gists of the Kassav' songs "Wep," "Soleil," and "Aie"?
These songs are beautiful poems. They may have a different meaning to each individual.
"Ayé (aie)" - seems to be about someone wanting a love that he probably can't have.
"Wep" - seems to be about someone who wants to feel alive again, wants to get his "groove" on, and wants to be part of the rhythm of life.
"Soleil" - is about an afflicted individual's craving for the sun's warmth, energy, and spirit.

Hi, I would like to ask you about sauce manba, Ienjoy the west African sauce d'arachide and sauce feuille.is the haitian version popular, I really don't hear as much about itas much as some other Haitian dishes. Mèsi ampil
The sauce manba is not as popular in Haiti. Haitians would prefer to use the nuts whole. And they use cashews instead of peanuts in their sauce. Cashews with chicken in sauce is most popular in the north of Haiti.
I must tell you that I've never had the sauce manba. Now I can't wait to try it.
The sauce feuille in Haiti is known as legim zepina (spinach legumes). Instead of the manioc leaves, Haitians will most popularly use spinach leaves.
My neighbor, Nancy, from Monrovia, Liberia makes a mean sauce feuille with manioc leaves. Boy! the hot pepper she uses in this sauce is strong enough to wake up the dead ☺! But it's delicious! especially with white rice and root vegetables.
Now I grow my own manioc leaves in my backyard.
Isn't it awesome how easy it is to plant this manioc?!

Hi, can you please explain the difference between 'E vre' and 'Se vre'? I have never quite been able to understand this. thanks!
Se vre comes from the French "C'est vrai" which means "It's true".
The correct way to say it and write it is "Se vre".
But the phonetic of this phrase has been altered to "E vre" (probably from pronouncing it too quickly)Now it's a regular part of the Haitian Creole speech.
So now both "Se vre" and "E vre" means the same thing: "It's true".
This phrase may qualify as what you call a metathesis.
Lastly, "Se vre" may be used as a declarative or interrogative sentence.
Se vre. → It's true.
Se vre? - Is it true?
