Ekspresyon Kréyòl Util / Useful Haitian Creole Expressions

 

****Ou Palé Kréyòl?  (Do you speak Creole?) ****

Wi. M palé Kréyòl.  Non. M pa palé Kréyòl (Yes, I speak Creole. No I do not speak Creole).

 

Cultural Notes:  Haitians will never ask you whether you speak Haitian Creole.  They will refer to Creole as if their Creole was the main and only Creole language that exists out there.  To differentiate Haitian Creole from other types of Creole spoken in some other islands and countries, we will continue to refer to it as Haitian Creole.  In some cases, Creole and Haitian Creole will be used interchangeably. ****
