i know bits of this song in creole. everyone seems to know it. do you happen to know all the lyrics? "ak tout ke mwen, map chante....mwen adore e mwen lourae(sp?) ou sacrifice jezu pou mwen.."
I am not familar with these lyrics. I'll research it and see.... Do you know any more of the lyrics?
I want to engrave "Cheers!" or a similiar expression on a flask as a gift. What would make the most sense written on it? Thanks!
Based on the sentiment you want to channel:
Ochan!, Bravo!, or Onè Respè! (applause)
Kout Chapo!, or Chapo Ba! (Hats off)
how do you say the word so?like he told me to do it, so i did.
so (therefore) → se pousa, se poutèt sa, or konsa
how do you say I love you honey in Haitian Creole
ahh... so many different ways...
Mwen renmen w cheri.
Mwen adore w chouchou.
Mwen apresye w doudou.
Mwen fou pou ou cheri kè m.
etc...
