MakawonA friend used to spout expressions akin to English's "See you later, alligator / in a while, crocodile." One ended with "di di / makawon / matchavèl / karamèl." It was accompanied by a vigorous handshake. I always wondered about those words.
I see. I haven't heard that term in a while.
Matchavèl karamèl is an expression shared among good friends.
Especially when you have good history together.
I guess it shouldn't be translated literally then.
Thanks for your response.
