I often use sweet to address my mom, dad, and children....I'll say, my sweet mommy/daddy or to my girls...There's my sweet girls. How can I say this in Creole? Mesi anpil!!

'dous' is the Haitian Creole word for 'sweet',
But the best way to say this is with 'cheri' or 'chouchou',

for example:
my sweet mommy → manmi cheri mwen or manman cheri mwen
my sweet daddy → papi cheri mwen or papa cheri mwen

my sweet girl → ti fi cheri mwen
my sweet girls → ti fi cheri mwen yo

There's my sweet girl → Men ti fi cheri mwen an.
There are my sweet girls. → Men ti fi cheri mwen yo.

you can also call your little girl (or boy) ti chouchou or ti cheri which pretty much mean little sweetie or little darling

There's my little sweetie → Men ti cheri mwen an
There go my sweet little ones → Men ti chouchou mwen yo

there was this song that used to come on the Haitian radio stations and it was sung by a man that started out saying "yè swa mwen te wè..." do you know what song that is?

If only I knew what radio station or program, whether it's Christian or non Christian radio program, and whether it's emitting from Haiti or overseas, I would have had a good lead :)

Papa ‘m ak manman ‘m te mèt lage ‘m what does te mèt lage ‘m mean?

Is this the complete sentence?


This sentence could be translated two different ways.
It depends on whether or not the sentence you gave me is a dependent clause.

If the sentence in question is not complete (if there's another thought that complete that sentence) then "...te mèt..." becomes a conjunction, and it will be translated as 'Even if' at beginning of your English sentence.

example
1.  Papa'm ak manman'm te mèt lage'm, mwen p'ap dekouraje.
    Even if my dad and my mom abandon me, I won't be discouraged


On the hand, if the sentence in question is complete (nothing else follows after it),  then we'll translate te mèt lage as may let me go, may abandon me, or may disown me

example:
2. Papa'm ak manman'm te mèt lage'm.
   My dad and my mom may let me go.

I would love to know about the texts that surround that sentence..... Haitian Creole ↔ English Reference, Look up Haitian Creole and English Words

eske bo kote kek pafwol yo ariv soti nan ki egziste nan kilti kweyol la? mouin konnin kek mo a pa lafwa ye epi mouin pap konnin kijan yo egziste

Mwen pa fin konprann tout sa ou mande mwen.  Mwen panse ou bezwen konnen orijin mo 'pa lafwa'?  Eske se sa?
Mo 'pa lafwa' a soti nan lang Franse a: Par la foi.
Gen kèk mo nan lang Kreyòl la ki gen orijin Franse.  Genyen lòt ki gen orijin Panyòl.  Enpi rès la soti nan anpil patwa Afriken.

Mete tout konfyans ou nan Senye a. Pa gade sou sa ou konnen. Toujou chonje Senye a nan tou sa w'ap fe. Li menm, la moutre ou chemen pou ou pran. Ok mw panse m ka eple kek mo sa yo diferan: chonje=sonje, moutre=montre, chemen=chenmen. Se vre?

Wi se sa.  Ou kòrèk.
"Chimen" is another popular way to say 'chemen' too.  You'll see it a lot in poems and songs.
I have not yet seen 'chenmen' in Haitian Creole.  It sounds like another type of Creole.

Anfòm.  Kenbe la :)

kisa mo la "lan" vle di nan vese sa: Kite m di Senye ki pa tankou tout moun lan mesi. AND mwen pa konpran fraz sa: Li wete m nan bouch twou a. AND kisa mo la "malfini" vle di nan angle? Mesi anpil!!

Bonjou

Pou premye kesyon ou:
lan se youn nan atik defini nan lang Kreyòl Ayisyen an.
Genyen senk(5) atik defini nan lang Kreyòl la: a, an, la, lan, nan.
Kèk Ayisyen di nan, e kèk Ayisyen di lan apre yon doub 'n' tankou nan mo "monn" nan, oubyen yon mo ki fini avèk yon 'n' ki rezone tankou mo 'moun' nan.
Sa depan nan ki rejyon yo soti nan Ayiti. (It depends on which region of Haiti they come from)

Kite'm  | di   | Senyè | ki pa tankou |  tout moun | lan | mèsi.
Let me | say | Lord   | that not like  | all people  | the | thank you.
Let me tell the Lord that is not like other people thank you


Pou dezyèm kesyon ou:
wete se yon derivatif mo retire ki vle di to remove, to take away, to take out.

Li     | wete'm       |  nan  |   bouch   |  twou  | a
He   | remove me | from |  mouth   |  hole   | the
He removed me from the entrance of the hole.

Pou twazyèm kesyon ou:
Yon malfini se yon hawk, oubyen yon bird of prey nan langaj Angle a.

Mwen espere ou konprann tout Kreyòl mwen :)

Is there an expression to say "keep your hands to yourself"? I'm looking for something stronger than "pa bat mwen".

Pa bat mwen is Don't hit me

Keep your hands to yourself would generally translate in Creole as Pa manyen anyen (Don't touch anything) or Pa manyen'm (Don't touch me)

But if someone is actually hitting you, tell him/her:
Pa leve zago'w sou mwen!
or
Sispann leve zago'w sou mwen!
Then let someone know about this.
