Direct Conversation

I = Mwen (said Mweh)
You= ou (said ooh)
We= nou (noo)
They= yo
Hello = boniou (bon-jew)
Goodbye = orevwa (or-eh-vwah)
How are you = Sa Va? (Sah Vah) or Ki Jan ou Ye (Kee-Jahn oooh yay)
Please = souple (sooo-play) or See-Vooh-Play
Thank You = Mesi
Thank you very much= Mesi Boukou (Merci Boo-koo)
Lotion = Kreme (Khrehm)

If you are speaking to a resident these are basic words you use and their pronunciations. Remember to use hand gestures if you need to and pay close attention to body language.
