While I was in Jacmel, Haiti, I kept a list of Kreyol words I was learning as part of my journal. I have no idea how to spell the words I learned and just recorded them phoenetically. Here are the words I learned on my first "working day". You'll notice some patterns.
Shat - cat
Chen (shee) - dog
Kabri - goat
Poul - chicken
pwa - beans
Manje - food/eat
Aromme - love
soleil - sun
cho (shale') - hot
Komo ou eyeh? - How are you?

glo - water
Mwen fatigue' - I'm tired

Merci - thank you
Pa dekwa - you're welcome
Si vou ple - please
