Hi my friends,In today‘s lesson we are going to learn how to ask someone questions to know how someone is in Creole
*Plizyè fason nou ka di sa - many ways we can say that
Nou ka di - we can say
Kijan ou ye? Kòman ou ye? kouman ou ye?(fòmèl) yo tout vle di - they all means ,How are you? or how are you doing?
Pa egzanp: for example
Egz: Bonjou Mesye,Kijan ou ye? Good morning Sr, How are you?
Nou ka ajoute yon endikatè tanporèl nan fraz la : we can add a time indicador in the sentence
Tankou - like,
Kounya (kounye a) - Now
jodia - today
Pa egzanp : for example
Egz:Alo Mari, How are you doing today? Hi Mari,Alo Mari , Kijan w ye jodia?
Kèk fason fòmèl ak enfòmèl ou ka poze kesyon sa tou – some informal ways you can ask this question also:
Sak pase? , Sak regle? , Sak ap fèt? yo tout vle di: they all means What‘s up? / or what happen (enfòmèl)....
Nou ka di tou – We can say also
Pa gen anyen ki tonbe? - What‘s new ?
Ou anfòm? ou oke? - Are you good? are you okay ?
Kijan bagay yo ye? - How are things?
Kijan vi a ye? - How ‘s life?,
Ou la ? - Are you there?
Kounya,Pou w di kijan ou ye , nou itilize pwonon pèsonèl yo sann pa itilize vèb ‘’se’’ a – Now ,To say how you are we use the subject pronounce without using the verb to ‘’be’’ .
Pa egzanp: for example
Si yon moun mande ou , kijan ou ye? kòman ou ye ? if someone ask you how are you?
Ou ka di : you can Say
Egz: Mwen byen,mèsi e ou: I am good thanks and you / I am fine thanks and you/
Byen mèsi e ou - fine thanks and you, Mwen Anfòm (M anfòm) , anfòm-I am pretty good/I am doing great , M pa pi mal - I am not bad , Pa pi mal -not bad
E ou oubyen e ou menm vle di means And you
Fason popilè enfòmel pou reponn, kijan ou ye oubyen sak pase
Common informal ways to answer to how are you , what‘s up or what happen
M Poze - I‘m chilling
M la - I‘m there
N ap gade - I am hanging on
N ap kenpe -I am holding on Byen jiska prezan : Good so far
