Good job, good video! It could be separated in different parts though to keep the video shorter. I’d like to get in touch with you.

[@HaitianCreoleMsCreole]

I actually thought about that because it was way too long but then I decided to do just one since it was based on a specific subject. I may still split it and repost if enough people ask. Send me an email at [e-mail]

I would like to have this book for my kids how can I get it

[@HaitianCreoleMsCreole]

Hello, which book are you talking about?

[@kcl060]

Hi, Jeanne! So, i have a question--what does "Bef a ke pa jambe dife" mean?

[@HaitianCreoleMsCreole]

It means when you have people who can get hurt you don’t hurt others. It’s used a lot when people have children and they’re messing with others because people can do pay back by hurting your children for what you’ve done

"Go from the frying pan to the fire" is a good translation for the proverb " W ap kouri lapli..." This video is excellent! I hope you're able to do more like this. I have a question also--what do you feel are the best words for "disabled" and "disability?"

[@HaitianCreoleMsCreole]

Thank you. I didn’t know the frying pan term. So for disabled a respectful way to say it is handicape. Pronounce every single letter. Also, usually when people say someone is handicape they’re talking about the physical aspect of it. Because mental health is not recognized by most people they will just give the person some other name if the disability is physical. For example when I was growing up a guy with Down syndrome lived on the streets. Everyone called him Kabrit which means goat. In fact, no one ever knew his name. The story was that he was a Canadian citizen and his parents dumped him on the streets and returned to Canada. Not one person contacted the Canadian embassy for help. If the disability is not physical like Down syndrome then some people will call the person ‘egare’ or ‘Gaga’ which means the person is slow and kind of dumb. Many people will say kokobe which means crippled. It’s demeaning and should not be used. So the best word is handicape.

[@kcl060]

@@HaitianCreoleMsCreole Oh wow 🥺. Thank you for always sharing these cultural tidbits about the common way and the respectful terms that we hope people will choose to use. So is gaga kind of like "retarded?" That's definitely a disparaging word in English, but some older people, unfortunately, still use it, not really knowing better.
