Ask me anything

Im on fire

Do you mean real fire? literally?
If so, call the fire department.

If you mean otherwise, I might need more info....

I'm on fire (I'm excited?). If excited, what are you excited about?

I'm on fire (My body caught fire?) Kò m (or rad mwen) pran dife.
I'm on fire (I'm burning up?) → Mwen santi m cho.  or Kò m ap boule m
I'm on fire (I feel hot?) → Kò m cho. or  M santi tout kò m ap pran dife.
I'm on fire (I am overwhelmed?) → Kè'm ap debòde
I'm on fire (I'm excited/tensed?) → Mwen sou tansyon.  or  Mwen eksite
I'm on fire (I'm sexually excited?) → Mwen sou sa. or Mwen tou limen.  or Mwen tou pare
I'm on fire (volatile, erratic, and unpredictable) → Mwen prèt pou deklannche/dechennen.
I'm on fire for God. → Mwen zele pou Bondye

This "I'm on fire." phrase can go so many different ways in Creole :)

how do you say when are we gonna see

When are we going to see...?
Kilè nou pral wè....?

he was saying something about how I was doing my daughter's hair: ou fin fo net nan bay bel kout peng (what is he saying?)

Ou fin fò nèt nan bay bèl kout peny.
You've become very skilled at beautifully styling hair.

how do you say you are beautiful in creole

Chak bah se, what does it mean?

I looked over your question a good number of times.
I think I've finally deciphered "your Creole"  :)
I think you mean to say "Sa'k Pase" → "What's up?"

So, here's a link to all the "Sa'k Pase's" of this blog my friend.

Can you give a few examples using "An nou" (meaning: "Let's") such as "Let's go to the store, Let's build a sand castle, ..."?

Let's → you'll see it as "An nou", "An'n", "Ann", and perhaps as "Annou"

1. An nou ede yo.
Let's help them.

2. An nou rete la.
Let's stop right there.

3. Ann sispann goumen.
Let's stop fighting.

4. Ann avanse.
Let's move forward.

5. An'n vize pi wo.
Let's aim higher.

6. Ann kontinye.
Let's keep going.
Let's move on.
Let's continue


7. An nou pa aji tankou yo.
Let's not act like them.

8. Ann pa pèdi lafwa.
Let's not lose faith.

9. An'n pa tann lòt yo.
Let's not wait for the others

10. Ann pa ba yo yon okazyon pou yo akize nou..
Let's not give them an opportunity to point their fingers at us.

kote moun yo

yeah, kote moun yo? (where's everyone?)

What does "Bèkèkè" mean?

Bèkèkè → handicap, mute, can also be 'a wimp'

Is there a video for the articles? Direct or indirect?

pronunciation of Li

lipronounced lee → he, she, it, him, her, its, his, also translates the verb 'to read".

First, Christ identified Himself with sinners by dying for them. Second, He was literally counted among the transgressors by dying between two thieves and therefore, viewed by many as common criminal.

Premyèman, Kris te idantifye ak pechè yo lè li te mouri pou yo. Dezyèman, yo te vin konte Li kòm yon transgresè lè li te mouri nan mitan de vòlè ki te gentan pote non gwo kriminèl

Ask me anything

Apiye pou nou monte

Apiye pou nou monte
Lean so we go up (literally)
Team up so we can succeed


Kole zepòl pou nou reyisi
Put our shoulders together to succeed (literally)
Team up so we can succeed.


Mete tèt nou ansanm pou nou reyisi.
Put our heads together so we can succeed
Team up so we can succeed

Listen to me please.




Tande → to hear


Mwen tande w'ap pati.
