Okay I'm trying to understand this Facebook post in creole it says “We monche ou pap tounen nan DuPont menm”

Sometimes we say “wè” instead of “wi”.

“wè monchè, ou pa tounen nan Dupont menm”

“yes friend, you have not come back to Dupont at all.”

“Yes, you have not gone back to Dupont at all.”

The amazing lessons on your blog continue! Thank you so much, Mandaly! Would you be able to recommend a few Creole translators or translation companies that could handle things like translating longer reports and forms from English-to-Creole and Creole-to-English? If you recommend them, I would feel more comfortable working with them. Mesi anpil!

Wi :)  Leson yo ap kontinye nèt ale.

I like the work of the translators at Freelang.net and that of ALTA Language Services.
I have proofread their work.
The team at ALTA can get a little expensive, but they are good.

Madanm. What is the correct way to use mo "monche" (man) an Kreyol? Is it only a term of endearment to people you know very well, or is it used more informally? E ki jan ou di an Kreyol Ayisyen mo "apocalypse", like the book of Revelation in the Bible? I cannot find it anywhere. Yon gran mesi.

It is used more informally.  It basically means "my friend" , "my comrade", "pal", "buddy". It can also translate the informal expression man!
You always use it for males.  For females you would use machè in the same context.
Here are some examples:

1.       Sa’k pase monchè? - What’s up man?

2.       Monchè, pa janm fè m ankò. – Man, don’t ever do that to me again.

Sometimes you use it in a sentence as an expression, but do not have to translate it in English. For example:

3.       Monchè, ou sanwont! – You are shameless!

4.       Ale non monchè! – Go!

5.       Chita non monchè! – Sit down!

Monchè is also an expression which may express surprise, shock, disgust, or disbelief.  For example:

6.       Monchè! M pa ta janm kwè ou ta fè m sa. - I would have never believed that you would do that to me.

 

7.       Monchè! M wont pou ou! - Shame on you.

 

       8.       Monchè o! – (expression of disbelief)

and .... 

Regarding translation of “Apocaplypse”, we do say Apokalips or Revelasyon  in Creole.

Mandaly. In the course I am using, they say "M isit la depi yon semenn." for "I have been here for one week." Would it not be more correct to use "M te isit la depi yon semenn." for the past tense, or are both just as correct? By the way Madanmm, which form of "week" do you use in Kreyol? "semen, semenn oubyen senmenn?" Mesi anpil.

Actually “M isit la depi yon semèn.” Is correct.

It expresses an event/action that started to happen in the past and continue to happen in the present.

If you had “I had been here for one week”, then you could translate it as “M te isit la depi you semèn."

And regarding the spelling of “semèn”, all three forms are acceptable in Creole.

Fanfan can decide which car he wantd to buy yet. One minute he wants a Toyota, and the next minute he wants a Nissan.
