Re:Mauritian Creole.......
hey,
i'm of mauritian heritage,
is there any area in particular
you'd like to know?
(mo apel Dominic - my name is Dominic
mo nom li means my name he/she)
when asking questions you should
put eski before. i.e. eski u kon dans sega?
do you know how to dance the sega?
There are several ways of describing time
i.e. mo fek al kot dokter - i just went to see the doctor
mo ti al kot dokter- i went * * *
mo pu al kot dokter- i will * * *
mo bizin al- i must go.. mo ti bizin...- i needed to...
past can also be expressed by ine i.e.
mo'ne fer ene bon travay which can also be expressed by
mo'ne kas ene gran montayne - i did a lot of work
zot ine kas mo tay-zongl - they broke my nail cutter
