Haitian Creole/Basic Vocabulary

Personal pronouns
These are the personal pronouns. They are the same ones for both subjects and objects; that is to say, there is no distinction between I and me, for example.


 * The word li/l can mean he, she or it. i is commonly used in the Northern part of Haiti
 * There are short and long forms of each pronoun. They are synonymous, but there are circumstances when one is preferred over the other.

Adjectives
