Haitian Creole Grammar, Lesson 01

 Subject Pronouns in Haitian Creole

Learn the small pronoun set that drives most beginner Haitian Creole sentences.

   1

mwen, ou, li

## 1. Grammar focus

Haitian Creole subject pronouns are compact and regular. The same verb form follows every subject, so learners can build sentences quickly.

**Pronunciation guide:** mwen = mwen; ou = oo; li = lee; nou = noo; yo = yoh.

## 2. Rule

 Use **mwen** for I, **ou** for you, **li** for he/she/it, **nou** for we, and **yo** for they.

## 3. Examples and building blocks

Practice the pronoun first, then keep the verb form unchanged.

| Creole pattern | English sounds-like guide | English meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mwen pale. | *Mwen pah-leh* | I speak. |
| Ou pale. | *Oo pah-leh* | You speak. |
| Li pale. | *Lee pah-leh* | He / she speaks. |
| Nou pale. | *Noo pah-leh* | We speak. |
| Yo pale. | *Yoh pah-leh* | They speak. |
