what is the difference between kiles and kimoun?

They have the same meaning. They're interchangeable.

You will hear: kilès, ki moun, or kiyès when Creole speakers ask "who".

example:

1. Who are you?

Kilès ou ye? or

Ki moun ou ye? or

Kiyès ou ye?

2. Who did this?

Kilès ki fè sa? or

Ki moun ki fè sa? or

Kiyès ki fè sa?

3. Who will help me?

Kilès ki va ede m? or

Ki moun ki va ede m? or

Kiyès ki va ede m?

Are there any songs in Creole you'd recommend? I'm having trouble finding ANY music in this language.

What genre of music are you looking for? And

Ask me anything

Nice to see you (Creole)

Nice to see you.
Mwen kontan wè w.

vouzan

Someone must have been pissed at you ☺

vouzan (From the French "Allez vous-en!") → Go to hell.

This expression actually means: "Go away!"
In Haiti, you will hear:
Ale w vouzan!
Ale w laba!
Vouzan pou ou!
Laba pou ou!
Vouzan!
Laba!
They all mean: Go away!, Get lost!  Go to hell! or something like that.
