How to build the affirmative, negative and interrogative forms in haitian creole.

 

AFFIRMATIVE

In haitian creole, as in english, we use the affiirmative, negative and interrogative forms. 

For the affirmative forms, we have: SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT.

                                                     Ex: mwen          manje     diri ak lalo. = i eat rice with lalo.

Sometimes, they don't need verb, we only use: SUBJECT + PARRTICLE, as, LA, AVÈK, AK, etc., but when se translate that, the sense is the same as tobe in english.

                                                                                 Ex:  Mwen la. = I am here.

                                                                                         Li avèk yo. = He or she is with them.

                                                                  NEGATIVE

In the negative forms, we have: SUBJECT + PA + VERB + OBJECT. 

                                                Ex: li                 pa      manje   diri ak lalo. = i don't eat rice with lalo.

The same as the afffirmative forms, sometimes, they don't need verb, we only use: SUBJECT + PA PARRTICLE, as, LA, AVÈK, AK, etc.

Ex: li pa la. = I am not here.

      Li ak nou. He or she is not with us. 

                                                                INTERROGATIVE

For the interrogative forms, we have got: (ESKE) + SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT?

                                                          Ex: (Eske)           ou             manje      diri ak lalo?

The expression ESLKE can be omitted.

The same as the afffirmative and negative forms, sometimes, they don't need verb, we only use: SUBJECT + PA PARRTICLE, as, LA, AVÈK, AK, etc.

   Ex: Li avèk yo? Is she or he with them?

         Ou  la?   Are you here?
