Rule 1 of 32
RULE 01 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Basic word order
Who + action + object
In many basic Creole sentences, the subject comes first, followed by the verb and then its object—like English.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen renmen mizik.I like music.
Understand this pattern
Use this as a starting pattern, not as a claim that every Haitian Creole clause has an expressed object. A sentence may contain a subject and an intransitive verb only; modifiers and time expressions can add information without changing the core order.
More examples
Sara li yon liv.— Sara reads a book.
Timoun nan dòmi.— The child sleeps.
Think about it: Ask who performs the action and whether an object receives it.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
Sara reads a book.
Sara li yon liv.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPIdentify the person, action, and object before translating.
RULE 02 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Personal pronouns
Mwen, ou, li, nou, yo
Haitian Creole uses the same pronoun forms in subject and object positions. English often changes I to me or she to her.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen wè ou.I see you.
Understand this pattern
The full forms do not have separate subject and object case endings like English I/me or she/her. Word position and the larger clause reveal the role. Shortened variants require their own contextual rules.
More examples
Mwen wè li.— I see him or her.
Li wè mwen.— He or she sees me.
Think about it: Translate the role from context, not from an assumed English-style pronoun ending.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
You see me.
Ou wè mwen.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPThe order of pronouns changes the meaning.
Li can refer to a male or female person, and to some things. It does not mark gender as English he and she do.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPLi renmen danse.He or she likes dancing.
Understand this pattern
Li does not itself specify masculine or feminine gender. Context might identify a person or another referent, but a translator should not invent a gender if the passage leaves it open.
More examples
Mari rive. Li kontan.— Marie arrived. She is happy.
Jan rive. Li kontan.— Jean arrived. He is happy.
Think about it: For translations, check the previous sentence before deciding among he, she and it.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
He or she is happy.
Li kontan.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPDo not invent a feminine pronoun for 'she'.
Nou can include the speaker (we) or address a group (you all). Listeners use context to tell which.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPNou pare.We are ready / You all are ready.
Understand this pattern
Nou may include the speaker or address several listeners. The same sentence can therefore have more than one natural English rendering when the surrounding context is missing.
More examples
Nou pare?— Are we ready? / Are you all ready?
Nou wè yo.— We see them / You all see them.
Think about it: A direct translation may need context or a translator note to resolve which group is intended.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
We are coming tomorrow / You all are coming tomorrow.
Nou pral vini demen.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPOne Haitian Creole sentence can have two natural English translations.
Several pronouns have shorter forms that depend on surrounding sounds and context. The short form is written as a separate word, not attached by an apostrophe.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen ap travay. → M ap travay.I am working.
Understand this pattern
The shortened forms are not arbitrary abbreviations. Their distribution depends on syntax and neighboring sounds. In the AKA’s short-form examples, a shortened form remains a separate written word, without attaching an apostrophe.
More examples
M ap travay.— I am working.
Y ap vini.— They are coming.
Think about it: Do not shorten every pronoun mechanically; especially check the environment for w and y.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
He or she is coming.
Li ap vini. → L ap vini.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPNot every short form is natural in every position.
Haitian Creole verbs typically keep the same form after I, she, and they. Time and aspect are often expressed with separate markers.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen danse.I dance.
Understand this pattern
Person and number are normally not marked by changing the verb ending. The same verb form can follow mwen, li and yo, while preverbal markers help express time, aspect and modality.
More examples
Li danse.— He or she dances.
Yo danse.— They dance.
Think about it: Compare the complete sentence; do not add English third-person -s to a Creole verb.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
They dance.
Yo danse.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPDo not add English '-s' or French conjugation endings.
RULE 07 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
States and descriptions
No automatic am/is/are
Many descriptions use a subject followed by a state or adjective with no separate word for English am, is, or are.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen kontan.I am happy.
Understand this pattern
Adjectival and stative expressions frequently stand directly after their subject. English needs a form of be, but inserting se before every Haitian Creole adjective changes or disrupts the expected construction.
More examples
Yo kontan.— They are happy.
Kay la gwo.— The house is big.
Think about it: Contrast a description like Li fatige with classification like Li se yon doktè.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
He or she is tired.
Li fatige.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPDo not insert se automatically before adjectives.
Se often identifies or classifies a person or thing, especially with a noun phrase. Compare this with a description such as mwen kontan.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen se yon elèv.I am a student.
Understand this pattern
Se commonly helps identify or classify someone or something with a noun phrase. Other constructions, including focus, can also use se; its distribution cannot be reduced to a one-word translation of English is.
More examples
Li se yon doktè.— He or she is a doctor.
Sa se yon liv.— That is a book.
Think about it: Ask whether the predicate identifies a person or describes a state before choosing se.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
That is my friend.
Se zanmi mwen.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPSe is not a mechanical translation of every English 'is'.
Some words work as nouns in one sentence and verbs in another. Their role is understood through sentence structure.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPManje a pare.The food is ready.
Understand this pattern
A word’s part of speech depends on how it functions in the sentence rather than on an invariant English dictionary label. Study the surrounding structure and the words that accompany it.
More examples
Mwen renmen danse.— I like dancing.
Dans lan bèl.— The dance is beautiful.
Think about it: Do not assume an English noun or verb must map to a fixed grammatical category in every Creole example.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
The child eats.
Timoun nan manje.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPManje changes its grammatical job without adding an ending.
RULE 10 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Indefinite article yon
A, an, or one
Yon generally precedes a singular noun, similar to English a/an. Depending on context, it can also carry the idea of one.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen gen yon chen.I have a dog.
Understand this pattern
Yon is generally placed before a singular noun phrase when introducing a referent. In some contexts it also has a numeral reading. The indefinite article does not necessarily appear in every context where English uses a.
More examples
Mwen gen yon liv.— I have a book.
Gen yon timoun deyò a.— There is a child outside.
Think about it: Ask whether the expression introduces one identifiable entity or counts one item.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
A child is laughing.
Yon timoun ap ri.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPYon goes before the noun, unlike the definite article.
RULE 11 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Definite articles: la, a, an, lan, nan
La, a, an, nan, lan
Haitian Creole definite articles follow the noun phrase. Their form is conditioned by the final sounds: compare liv la, papa a, pen an, ponp lan and machin nan.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPLiv la sou tab la.The book is on the table.
Understand this pattern
The definite article appears after the noun phrase, and its shape follows phonological conditions rather than a simple last-letter rule. The commonly taught forms include la, a, an, lan and nan, but variation occurs.
More examples
Pen an cho.— The bread is hot.
Machin nan nouvo.— The car is new.
Think about it: Hear the final sound: the written n of pen differs from the pronounced n in machin.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
The tree is big.
Pye bwa a gran.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPLearn the final pronounced sound rather than assuming the last written letter determines the article.
Nouns do not usually take an English plural -s. After a noun, yo can mark a definite plural group—but the same form can also express possession. Context helps distinguish “the books” from “their book(s).”
EXAMPLE · EGZANPTimoun yo ap chante.The children are singing.
Understand this pattern
Nouns do not ordinarily take English-style plural endings. The postnominal yo often expresses a definite plural, but it may also be a third-person possessive. In a phrase like liv yo, context distinguishes “the books” from “their book(s).”
More examples
Liv yo sou tab la.— The books are on the table.
Twa timoun ap jwe.— Three children are playing.
Think about it: Explain both possible readings of liv yo: a definite plural group and third-person plural possession.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
The books are new.
Liv yo nouvo.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPYo can also be a pronoun meaning 'they'.
In Haitian Creole, a possessive pronoun typically follows the noun instead of preceding it as in English my, your, and their.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPSe liv mwen.It's my book.
Understand this pattern
A possessor normally follows the noun phrase, giving a different word order from English my book. The expression can use a full pronoun or another possessor, with interpretation determined by context.
More examples
Liv mwen sou tab la.— My book is on the table.
Kay Mari a gwo.— Marie’s house is big.
Think about it: Place the possessor after the noun; do not import English possessive word order.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
I see your house.
Mwen wè kay ou.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPStart with noun + mwen / ou / li / nou / yo.
A demonstrative expression such as sa a typically follows the noun phrase. Context can determine whether this or that sounds best in English.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPLiv sa a bèl.This book is nice.
Understand this pattern
Demonstrative forms such as sa a generally follow the noun phrase. Exact form and interpretation can depend on the surrounding article and context; English this/that often does not map one-to-one.
More examples
Kay sa a gwo.— This house is big.
Mwen vle liv sa a.— I want this book.
Think about it: Recognize the postnominal location of the demonstrative instead of placing it first.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
I like that outfit.
Mwen renmen rad sa a.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPNotice the noun-first order: liv sa a.
RULE 15 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
The habitual present
What happens regularly
An unmarked verb can describe a habit or general truth. Context, such as chak samdi, helps you interpret the time.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen danse chak samdi.I dance every Saturday.
Understand this pattern
A bare or unmarked verb can describe a routine, general truth or other situation supported by context. It is not always an English-style present-tense form; time adverbs help fix interpretation.
More examples
Yo li chak swa.— They read every evening.
Li travay chak maten.— He or she works every morning.
Think about it: Look for expressions such as chak jou before deciding that a marker is required.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
He or she works at the school.
Li travay nan lekòl la.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPDo not put ap in every simple-present statement.
RULE 16 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
AP: ongoing and future actions
Understand aspect and time in context
AP often marks an ongoing action, but can also express future events. Context and the type of verb help determine the meaning.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPM ap danse kounye a.I'm dancing right now.
Understand this pattern
Ap can indicate action in progress and, in appropriate contexts, a future event. Adverbs such as kounye a and demen often guide interpretation; one English -ing translation is not sufficient for every use.
More examples
Li ap travay kounye a.— He or she is working now.
M ap danse demen.— I will dance tomorrow.
Think about it: Compare how the same marker changes interpretation with a different time expression.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
They are reading.
Yo ap li.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPAP does not always translate as English “-ing.” Read our longer reference for future uses and comparisons.
Ap can also express a future action. Words like demen often help distinguish this from an action happening now.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPM ap rele ou demen.I'll call you tomorrow.
Understand this pattern
Future-oriented ap appears with time expressions or discourse that situates the event later. Its use overlaps with some prospective expressions, but ap and pral should not be treated as universally interchangeable.
More examples
Nou ap pati demen.— We will leave tomorrow.
Li ap vini pita.— He or she will come later.
Think about it: Identify the future time cue and explain why the event is not happening right now.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
We'll see later.
N ap wè pita.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPAp is not restricted to English '-ing'.
RULE 18 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Te for past time
Looking backward
Te commonly places an action or state in the past. Past time may also be clear without te in a suitable context.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen te danse yè.I danced yesterday.
Understand this pattern
Te marks an anterior or past reference in many ordinary clauses, but it is not compulsory whenever English uses the past tense. Narrative context and lexical aspect can establish an earlier event.
More examples
Mwen te travay yè.— I worked yesterday.
Li te malad.— He or she was ill.
Think about it: Do not insert te automatically into every sentence translated from English past tense.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
We were happy.
Nou te kontan.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPThe verb does not change to an English '-ed' form.
RULE 19 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
T ap for a past ongoing action
Was doing something
T ap combines past and progressive meaning, often for an action underway when something else happened.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPM t ap danse lè telefòn nan sonnen.I was dancing when the phone rang.
Understand this pattern
T ap combines a past/anterior reference with ongoing or progressive interpretation. It is useful for an event unfolding when another event occurs, rather than only a completed action.
More examples
Mwen t ap li lè ou rele.— I was reading when you called.
Yo t ap danse.— They were dancing.
Think about it: Keep the distinct temporal meanings of te and ap in mind.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
She was reading when I arrived.
Li t ap li lè m rive.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPCreoleLink writes t ap as two words.
RULE 20 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Pral for a plan
Going to do something
Pral is a common way to express an intended or expected future action, often corresponding to English going to.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPYo pral danse aswè a.They are going to dance tonight.
Understand this pattern
Pral often expresses a prospective or intended event. It is common in plans and near-future contexts, but cannot always replace ap without a change in emphasis or meaning.
More examples
Mwen pral manje.— I am going to eat.
Nou pral vizite fanmi an demen.— We are going to visit the family tomorrow.
Think about it: Look for the intended or planned event, not merely any future English tense.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
I'm going to visit my friend.
Mwen pral vizite zanmi m.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPThe main verb still does not conjugate.
RULE 21 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Ta for imagined possibilities
Would / hypothetical
Ta helps describe conditional, hypothetical, and some polite situations. The exact English translation depends on context.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPM ta danse si m te gen tan.I would dance if I had time.
Understand this pattern
Ta appears in hypothetical, conditional and certain polite constructions. The English translation varies with surrounding conditions, so it is not one fixed word for would.
More examples
Mwen ta renmen yon ti dlo.— I would like some water.
Si mwen te gen tan, mwen ta ale.— If I had time, I would go.
Think about it: Check whether the sentence makes a request or describes an imagined condition.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
I'd like a little water.
M ta renmen yon ti dlo.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPWith si, read the condition and the result together.
RULE 22 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Poko: not yet
Something has not happened
Poko indicates that an action has not happened yet, often with an expectation that it may happen later.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPLi poko rive.He or she hasn't arrived yet.
Understand this pattern
Poko conveys not yet, usually indicating that an action has not happened or a state has not been reached by the relevant time. It is stronger and more specific than simply negating with pa.
More examples
M poko manje.— I have not eaten yet.
Nou poko pare.— We are not ready yet.
Think about it: The writing variation discussion belongs in the linked dedicated article; do not assert AKA expressly rules on poko versus pa ko.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
I haven't finished yet.
Mwen poko fini.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPPoko is one word, not an English tense ending.
Pa is a common negative marker. It typically appears before what it negates, instead of adding English do not or does not.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen pa renmen bri.I don't like noise.
Understand this pattern
Pa ordinarily negates a predicate or an expression. Its placement and exact interpretation depend on the construction. English translations may contain do not, is not or other auxiliaries that are not copied word-for-word.
More examples
Mwen pa manje vyann.— I do not eat meat.
Li pa fatige.— He or she is not tired.
Think about it: Locate the predicate being negated before choosing the English auxiliary.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
He or she isn't tired.
Li pa fatige.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPPa is written as a separate word.
P ap is used for negative progressive or future readings involving ap. The English translation depends on context.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen p ap danse jodi a.I'm not dancing today / I won't dance today.
Understand this pattern
P ap combines negation with a progressive or future interpretation involving ap. The sentence’s time context decides whether the English translation means is not doing or will not do.
More examples
M p ap manje kounye a.— I am not eating now.
Li p ap vini demen.— He or she will not come tomorrow.
Think about it: Preserve the two-word spelling p ap in this teaching model and use the time expression to interpret it.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
We're not going out tonight.
Nou p ap soti aswè a.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPWrite p ap as two words, not pap.
A yes/no question can often be formed with intonation or with èske. You do not need an English-style do/does helper.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPOu renmen mizik?Do you like music?
Understand this pattern
Haitian Creole yes/no questions can be expressed through intonation or with èske. They generally do not require the English inversion or the do/does auxiliary.
More examples
Èske yo fatige?— Are they tired?
Èske ou pare?— Are you ready?
Think about it: Compare the same propositional content expressed with question intonation and with èske.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
Do you like music?
Èske ou renmen mizik?
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPTry both aloud to hear their natural rhythm.
RULE 26 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Question words
What, who, where, when, how
Use kisa (what), kiyès (who), ki kote (where), kilè (when), and kijan (how) to ask for specific information.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPKi kote ou rete?Where do you live?
Understand this pattern
Interrogative forms identify the information requested: kisa for what, kiyès for who, ki kote for where, kilè for when and kijan for how. Real sentences can vary in placement and phrasing.
More examples
Kilè nou prale?— When are we / you all leaving?
Kiyès ki vini?— Who came?
Think about it: Check whether the question asks about a person, place, time, manner or thing.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
What do you want?
Kisa ou vle?
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPPractice each word in one complete question.
RULE 27 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Commands and warnings
Chita! / Piga ou kouri!
A command may use the verb alone. Pa can give a negative command; piga or pinga can make a warning more emphatic.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPChita!Sit down!
Understand this pattern
A positive command commonly uses a bare verb. Negative commands may use pa, while piga/pinga can express a stronger warning or prohibition depending on context.
More examples
Louvri pòt la!— Open the door!
Pa kouri!— Don’t run!
Piga ou manyen sa!— Don’t touch that!
Think about it: Distinguish ordinary instruction from an emphatic warning.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
Don't run! (warning)
Piga ou kouri!
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPSituation and politeness affect how strong a command sounds.
RULE 28 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Ka and dwe
Can, should, and must
Ka often expresses ability or possibility. Dwe can convey necessity or obligation; English should or must depends on context.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen ka ede ou.I can help you.
Understand this pattern
Ka can express ability or possibility. Dwe often signals obligation or inference, with its exact interpretation determined by context. A dictionary one-word equivalent is insufficient.
More examples
Li ka vini.— He or she can/may come.
Ou dwe etidye.— You must/should study.
Think about it: Ask whether the sentence expresses capability, permission, possibility or obligation.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
You should / must rest.
Ou dwe repoze ou.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPAvoid assuming a fixed one-to-one translation.
RULE 29 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Comparing with pi … pase
More than / -er than
Pi comes before an adjective and pase after it to compare two people or things.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMika pi wo pase Jan.Mika is taller than Jan.
Understand this pattern
Pi typically precedes a comparison adjective, while pase introduces the standard of comparison. The English result may use more or an -er form depending on the adjective.
More examples
Sara pi gran pase Jan.— Sara is older than Jean.
Liv sa a pi long pase lòt la.— This book is longer than the other one.
Think about it: Practice the full frame pi + adjective + pase rather than translating more alone.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
This book is more expensive than the other one.
Liv sa a pi chè pase lòt la.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPPi … pase forms a useful comparison pattern.
RULE 30 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Because: paske
Connect action and reason
Paske joins an action with an explanation. It helps make longer, more natural conversations.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPMwen rete lakay mwen paske lapli ap tonbe.I stay home because it's raining.
Understand this pattern
Paske introduces a reason and connects ideas into a complex sentence. Cause may be placed after a statement or used as a response to a poukisa question.
More examples
Li pa soti paske li malad.— He or she is not going out because he or she is ill.
Li kontan paske zanmi l rive.— She is happy because her friend arrived.
Think about it: Make sure the paske clause provides an explanation, not an unrelated second sentence.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
He or she is happy because a friend came.
Li kontan paske zanmi li vini.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPStart with one short reason, then add another.
RULE 31 OF 32ENGLISH → KREYÒL
Everyday time words
Yè, jodi a, demen
Time words help you interpret when an action occurs. They are especially helpful when a verb itself has no time-marking change.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPNou pral pale demen.We'll talk tomorrow.
Understand this pattern
Time adverbials such as yè, jodi a and demen help locate an event in time. Because verb morphology is not English-style inflection, the broader context contributes to temporal interpretation.
More examples
Mwen te travay yè.— I worked yesterday.
M ap travay demen.— I will work tomorrow.
Think about it: Identify the time word and the preverbal marker together.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
I worked yesterday.
Mwen te travay yè.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPAlso practice kounye a, pita, and toujou.
Spatial expressions link people or things with places: nan often means in, sou means on, and anba means under.
EXAMPLE · EGZANPLiv la sou tab la.The book is on the table.
Understand this pattern
Nan, sou and anba express relationships between things and locations. Their meanings overlap with English in, on and under in simple cases, but real usage depends on the context and the complement.
More examples
Kle a nan sak la.— The key is in the bag.
Timoun nan nan kay la.— The child is in the house.
Chen an anba chèz la.— The dog is under the chair.
Think about it: Move an object between locations to practice the relationship instead of memorizing a single translation.
TRY IT · ESEYE
How would you say:
The dog is under the chair.
Chen an anba chèz la.
ENGLISH SPEAKER TIPPractice with objects in the room.
