Ways to say it

“Yes” in Creole
Creole	Note
Wi	everyday
Dakò	okay, agreement

Wi answers a yes or no question, as in Wi, mwen grangou for "Yes, I am hungry". Dakò is for agreeing or accepting.

How do you pronounce it?

Wi sounds like English "wee".

Did you know?

Wi comes from the French oui and is pronounced almost the same way.

Examples in context

Wi, mwen vle sa.
Yes, I want that.

Anita asks her brother Yves if he wants dinner.

Anita

Ou grangou?
Are you hungry?
Yves

Wi, mwen grangou anpil.
Yes, I am very hungry.
Anita

Vini manje.
Come and eat.
Yves

Dakò, mèsi.
Okay, thank you.

Bonjour! I'm Isaiah, your go-to guy for all things Creole. My love for language is as strong as my love for dance and Haitian cuisine. I can guide you to say everything - from the smallest ant (even "boots" and "bees") to the most profound expressions of love, and even the varied accents of "goodbyes". When not dancing to Compas or cooking up some delicious Griot, you'll find me embracing new words and their translations. Embrace Creole with me, cherie!
