I'm pretty darned good at French after taking 5 years.

Here are my favourites:
vaincre (Vahn-krah)-to conquer-I like it because it's horrendously irregular and I annoyed my French teacher.
On ne peut pas tout avoir-You can't have your cake and eat it too!
dessiner-to draw
un saison-season
Il ne faut pas qu'on suit un regime si on mange les repas bons et on fait les activites physiques-It's not necessary to diet if you eat well and exercise.
suivre un regime-to follow a diet, or to diet.
Salut-hello (to people you know, friends, etc.)
Bonjour-hello (to authority people, strangers, parents, teachers, etc.)
Je donne ma longue au chat-The cat's got my tongue!

this is the first time i hear about a language called Kreyol!i feeel naive hehe..where is dis language spoken at? nice way of explaining

It's spoken by about 7.5 million people in Haiti. It's also spoken in the US, France, Canada, Dominica (they speak a dialect of our Kreyol), Dominican Republic, St.Martin, St. Martinque, etc...

 

[Neo_Classic]

Here is some Kreyol terms:

Hello — Allo [Basically say HELLO minus the H and replace the e with an A]

Good morning — Bonjou [bõN_jou] <---Bon is said like bon bons. Jou is said like shoe.

Good evening — Bonswa [bõswa] <---It might be easier to say it like this: bon SOIR. Soir is said like Noire.

Goodbye — Na wè [nawe] or Nap we [napwe]<---Either one is okay whether you are in a formal or informal setting.

Please — Silvouple [silvuple]<---This one is used mainly in formal settings. The latter is informal. Souple [suple]

Thank you (very much) - Mèsi (bokou) [ Meh-Sea] [Bo-Kou]

How? — There are two words for how in Kreyol. Once you start learning how to put grammatically correct sentences together, you’ll know which one to use. Kijan? or Koman? [komã]<---Not to be confused with Kouman which is used in Kouman ou yele. Both are pronounced the same. Just spelled differently.

Who? — There are two words for who as well. I’ll explain these differences and uses later. Ki moun? or Kiyes? The Ki is pronounced like KEY. Moun is MOON. Yes is YES.

Which? — Ki lès?

Where? — Ki Kote?

When? — Ki lè?

Why? — Pouki(sa)?

Great thread!! Sorry to be off topic but, I so agree with you TaTa!! Mauritius is sooooo beautiful!!!!! And you have a Mauritian bf????? Lucky you..... The guy I have a crush on is Mauritian (and sooooo gorgeous).....

 

[Salvatore]

Cool thread. Some language from New Orleans. I myself cannot understand some of the people at times. It is truly a language of its own

"Yat" ("Where yat?") - Kind of like saying "hello, how are you?"
F'True - Really?
"Lagniappe" (Lan-yap) - Extra
"Cher" - My love
"Beaux Beaux" - a bruise or scrape
"fixin to" - about to
"y'all" - you all

Can't think of any more just yet

WOW...this is really interesting...i didn't know there is a language Kreyol.....i'm just starting ot learn a few words of Kreyol.....i guess this is my lesson for the day Thanks Neo_Classic Some of it is very simliar to the Mauritian Creole..i guess they have liek a basic language then it kinda branches out a bit and depending on where your from it differs..am i right..kinda liek a different dialect?
In Philippines they have like a crazy amount of dialects....like 1200 or something..but they all sound really different...like one person will not understand another persona t all if they are speaking a different dialect..it's liek a whole new language
