Reponn Kesyon an Kreyol: What does Yon kabann malè mean?

Yon kabann malè is a bed of misfortune; a bed of danger. Sa a se yon Yon kabann malè wi - In this sentence, the speaker wants to stress the danger that can be found on such a bed. It may be because the bed is not solid or cannot sustain the weight of its occupants. Or it may be because the people who use this bed engage in illicit activities. The 'wi' used at the end of the sentence shows emphasis. It is used mostly in affirmative sentences. Whereas non is used at the end of a negative sentence.

Bouki and Malis 'Boat People' Tales in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole

"Bouki and Malis Turned Boat People - Bouki ak Malis Pran Kanntè"

Authors, Charles J. Desmangles and Kevin Levin, have done a great job writing this novella in Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English. Bouki and Malis Turned Boat People:Bouki ak Malis Pran Kanntè. It is based on the plasticity and richness of the Haitian folklore. Two of the most recognizable characters of Haitian folktales play a central role in this story.

In this novella, the authors show Bouki's desperation and push factors contributing to his agreement with a sleek, sophisticated local criminal and people smuggler / trafficker known as 'Captain Katastwòf Natirèl.' Bouki was deep in debts because he wanted to maintain a lifestyle he could not afford on the meager catches of a fisherman. Caught and deported several times by U.S. Border and Coast Guard, Captain Katastwòf Natirèl (Captain Natural Catastrophe) was on a black list. Bouki thought he was smart enough to pull this trip on his own. He refused to be known as the butt of his brother's jokes, a simpleton, a fool. He did not want Malis, his intellectual brother, to know about the details of that trip. All the while, Malis never hesitated to put him down and make him realize that he needed his expertise, language skills, and critical thinking.

Charles J. Desmangles and Kevin Levin interweave elements of the Haitian culture in this remarkable Haitian Creole, Spanish, English novella. Things must have been really harsh in Haiti if these two famous characters of the Haitian folklore finally decide to leave the country on a perilous raft to cross illegally to the U.S. shores. When faced with an upcoming storm, Captain Katastwòf Natirèl led his crew to Santiago, Cuba to seek temporary refuge. He forced everybody to learn Spanish in order to pass for Cuban refugees. Will Booki, Malis and Captain Katastwòf Natirèl make it to the dry grounds of Florida?

This story is set against the backdrop of Haiti's devastated agriculture, political upheavals, insecurity, presence of UN troops or Minustah, series of natural disasters such as hurricanes and 2010 earthquake, barren lands and tree-less mountaintops causing widspread floodings, destroyed ecology, infrastructures and educational institutions with a local population that depends more and more on imported goods and used clothes euphemistically known as 'pèpè.'

In this novella, the authors also implicate and relate the complicity of the catholic church whose priest, Father Francois, refuses to use Haitian Creole and French in his mass in his dogged efforts to cater to a dwindling but rich and powerful group of Latin language enthusiasts, les Bourgeois Commercants Mulattres (native Haitians of Syrian, Lebanese and.. descent). He did not heed Professor Malis' advice to start leading mass in Creole just like the Voodoo priests and protestant churches do all over the country with great success. What's worse is that Father Francois never said a word or raisee his stubby pinky finger against the clandestine smuggling and chaperoning of Haitian children who took these rickety boats to get reunited with their parents in Miami. Sister Marie Lafontant made her money chaperoning children and paid the priest under the table without counting her generous tithes to the church.

"Bouki and Malis Turned Boat People - Bouki ak Malis Pran Kanntè" is a book that will make you laugh and cry in the same sentence or paragraph. This book should be a required reading for anybody who wants to understand Haiti and the 'Boat People' phenomenon. Definitely, it should be required reading for any NGO, tourist, international workers in Haiti. It should be a required reading for any sociology students. This novella is edited by Prof. Joseph J. Charles

Now you can find out whether Bouki shows any signs of intelligence here:

"Excerpt from "Bouki and Malis Turned Boat People.."

“They said that I am supposed to pass the shark test too,” Bouki said to Malis.

“What are you talking about?” Malis asked.

“I was told that it is a test developed by the American authorities to separate Cubans from Haitians. They say that sharks like Haitians’ blood and flesh. They eat Haitian migrants whose boats capsize in high seas between Haiti and Bahamas. “

“Come on, Bouki, think straight. Respect yourself. It looks like you are losing your consciousness, you are coming in and out of consciousness. It appears that the waves of the sea and the crossing made you lose your mind. Americans are not like that! Where can they find these sharks?”

“Malis, I am not crazy. You always think I am crazy!”

“Crazy people hold this kind of talk!”

“I am a fisherman, but I am afraid of sharks. Their teeth are like saws.”

“Hello Bouki, you are no longer on the ocean now. You are on firm U.S. soil!”

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Professor Orosco and Malis continued to teach Spanish lessons. Malis had a lot of problems teaching the illiterate group. They were supposed to memorize a lot of lessons. It was the only way to teach them.

“¿Que edad tiene ud.? – Ki laj ou genyen?” (“How old are you?”) Malis taught the group. He asked them to repeat after him.

“Tengo 34 años de edad. – M gen 34 an.” (I am 34 years old.)

“¿Cúantos niños tiene ud.? – Konbyen timoun ou genyen?” (“How many children do you have?”)

“¿Es casado/a?” – Eske ou marye?” (“Are you married?”

“Wi. M marye. - Si soy casado.” (“Yes, I am married”)

“¿Es soltero/a?” – Ou selibatè? Ou pa marye?” (“Are you single?”)

“¿Porqué quiere entrar a los Estados Unidos de América? - Poukisa ou vle antre Ozetazini?” (“Why do you want to go to the U.S.A?”)

“¡Libertad y trabajo! – Libète ak travay.” (“Freedom and work!”)

“Somos los agentes de la patrulla Fronteriza Americana – Nou se ajan patwouy ameriken.” (“We are the U.S. Border Patrol agents”)

“Si nou tande ekspresyon sa-a nan bouch ajan ki sou bato ameriken yo, sa vle di yo kenbe nou. Yo ka pimpe nou an Ayiti,” Pwofesè Orosco anseye. “Sa vle di m pral an Ayiti avèk nou si yo dekouvri nou se Ayisyen. Nou sipoze di nou se Kiben ki pale panyòl.” (“If you hear this expression from the mouths of the U.S. agents, that means they caught us. They can send us back to Haiti,” taught Professor Orosco. “That means I am going to Haiti with you if they find out that we are Haitians. You are supposed to say you are all Spanish-speaking Cubans.”)

“¡Somos cubanos! – Se Kiben nou ye! Se Kiben nou ye!” (“We are Cubans!”).

New Haitian Creole Book Helps ESL Teachers Teach and Further Deepen Knowledge of Haitian Language and Culture in a short Time

"Buy a copy of "Learn Haitian Creole in One Week..." from Amazon Kindle

"Purchase a copy of "Learn Haitian Creole in one Week..." from Barnes and Noble as a Nook Book

Here are a few things this book will help you learn: Haitian Fruit, Vegetables and meals names, different types of meat, seafood, popular greetings, common expressions and phrases, verb markers etc. This book also introduces you to the Hiatian Creole grammar. For example, the use of articles shows some of the unique features of the Haitian Creole language. There is an indefinite article, which is used in front of the noun it modifies, and a definite article, which comes after the noun it modifies and changes form based on the sounds in that noun. Examples: Kay la - the house; ban an - the bench; bannann nan - the platain etc. Haitian Creole pronouns have both long and short forms. Examples: M for Mwen etc.. In addition to functioning as the subject of a sentence, pronouns can be placed after nouns to indicate possession. Examples, kay mwen - my house; liv li - his/her book etc.

This textbook is gradually introducing you to the structure of the language. It also provides you with cultural notes and explanations.

Relatively inexpensive, this easy textbook gives you everything you need to know to familiarize yourself with the language and culture. It presents various themes that you can build on. It also gives the ESL teacher a list of questions he/she can ask the students.

How do You Say This in Creole? Ki jan nou Di Sa an Kreyol?

Fèt Ayisyen – Haitian Celebrations and Holidays



How do you say this in Creole? Ki jan ou di sa an Kreyòl ?



Happy New Year ! – Bòn Ane !

Happy birthday to you! Bòn fèt!

I wish you a happy birthday – M swete ou bòn fèt



Haitian Creole Notes: Nòt Kreyòl: On New Year’s Day, it is appropriate to wish Haitian friends prosperity and longevity. It is something you can get accustomed to. Here is what you will say:

Prosperity and longevity to you and your family! Pwosperite ak lonjevite pou tout fanmi ou!

Premye Janvye se yon jou espesyal pou tout Ayisyen. Se jou sa-a yo manje soup joumou. Se jou endepandans Ayisyen. Poukisa se soup joumou?

Anvan Ayiti pran endepandans li, esklav Sen Domeng yo pa-t gen dwa manje oswa bwè soup joumou. Kolon Fransè yo te konsidere soup joumou yon manje espesyal. Aprè Ayiti pran endepandans li an 1804, Desalin deklare tout Ayisyen gen dwa manje soup joumou.

January 1st is a special day for all Haitians. On this day, they consume squash soup. It is Haitians’ independence day. Why squash soup?

Before Haiti became independent, the slaves of St. Domingue were not allowed to consume squash soup which was considered a delicacy by the French colonists. After Haiti became independent in 1804, Dessalines declared that all Haitians can have squash soup.









Happy Easter – Bòn Fèt Pak!

Happy Valentine’s Day! – Bòn Fèt Sen Valanten!

Happy anniversary! Bon Anivèsè!

Labor Day – Fèt Travayè / Fèt Travay

Memorial Day – Jou zansèt yo

Mother’s Day – Fèt Manman

Father’s Day – Fèt Papa

Good Friday – Vandredi Sen

Easter Sunday – Dimanch Pak

Thanksgiving – Jou Aksyondegras

Christmas – Nowèl



To be – Se and Ye

Se – to be

We use “se” to link a subject with a noun. For example: Jan se zanmi-m – John is my friend; Se chen Manno-a – It is Manno’s dog; Se kabrit Bòs Jak – It is master craftsman Jack’s goat.

Pyebwa sa-a se yon pye zaboka – This is an avocado tree

Fifi se yon bon doktè – Fifi is a good doctor

Li s-on bon moun – He/she is a good person (Note that se yon becomes s-on here in this sentence). You can also omit “li” at the beginning of the sentence. Just say: Se yon (S-on) bon moun. This is to save time. Liaisons or contractions exist to save time and build language speed in Kreyol.









Ye – to be

We usually use “ye” at the end of a sentence. It is exclusively used in that position.

Take a look at these two sentences:

Mwen se Kanadyen – I am Canadian

Se Kanadyen mwen ye – I am Canadian. (In the second sentence, the speaker wants to emphasize his /her nationality as if a special message needs to be conveyed and understood by the listener).

Both sentences are correct. Remember that “ye” is always used at the end of the sentence. Make sure you do not confuse “ye” to be with “Yè” which stands for yesterday.

Examples – Egzanp: Ki sa sa-a ye? What is this/that ?

Ki Jan ou ye ? How are you?

Kòman nou ye? How are you doing?



Notes: Nòt Kreyòl: When followed by an adjective, the verb to be is not even mentioned or translated. Example: Jan tris – John is sad; Mari malad – Mary is sick; Benito kontan – Benito is happy; Jansimon fache – Jansimon is mad; Jak pa kontan – Jack is not happy; Remon ankòlè – Raymond is in a bad mood

Exercices: Practice making sentences using “Se” and “Ye.”

Lulu and Lila, The Smooth Red Stone, a new kids' book!

Congratulations to Vivian and Romeo Sky on the publication of their new children's book!

This book is the result of the quality time a grandmother has been willing to spend with her granddaughter. It also captures the great imagination of a young girl who loves reading. According to grandmother Gigi,Romeo has always enjoyed creating characters in their new stories. Romeo Sky was visiting her grandmother. She brought a lot of books which she displayed on the nearby desk. I had the opportunity to read a book to Romeo who asked me to continue reading other books to her. Before I complied with her request,Gigi, the grandmother, intervened to set me free.

From that very moment, I knew it was just a matter of time before Gigi and Romeo set out to share with us their wonderful world of storytelling and amazing creation.

"Lulu and Lila, The smooth Red Stone" is the story of two identical twin girls, Lulu and Lila, who got invited by a mermaid to embark on a great maritime adventure. All their wishes came true after finding a smooth red stone.

Where can you buy this new book?
