what does vremanvre mean in creole?
Vreman vre → for real, really, undeniably, honestly, absolutely
1. Lè m te wè se vrèman vre li t'ap kriye, mwen te sispann pase l nan betiz.
When I saw it's truly true she was crying, I stopped making fun of her.

2. Si vreman vre ou vle vin yon komedyen, nanpwen anyen ki ka rete w.
If you honestly want to become a comedian, nothing can stop you.
Sometimes you'll find vreman vre at the beginning of a sentence, and it might translate the expression truth be told
3. Vrèman vre, lè'm rive lakay mwen lapolis te la ap tann mwen.
Truth be told, when I got home the police was there waiting for me.
