"What expressions of courtesy that exist in creole? I have seen in the french language expressions such as these: (Veuillez)Avoir l'amabilité de + infinitive, avoir la bonté de + infinitive, avoir la gentillesse de + infinitive, avoir l'obligeance de + infinitive, avoir la politesse de + infinitive, etc. Seriez si bon de + infinitive, seriez si poli de + infinitive, seriez si gentil de + infinitive, etc. In Spanish language, Tener la amabilidad/bondad/cortesia/gentileza/fineza de + infinitive, hacer el favor/fineza de + infinitive, etc. In English, there are: would you be so good/kind/polite/helpful/courteous/gracious/friendly/amiable/etc + as + infinitive. Have the goodness/kindness/amiability/courtesy/politeness in + present participle. Would you be a dear..... could you be a dear...... I know that all these polite expressions in these languages are formal versions of "please". I know in creole, we have various words for please, but I want to know if there are phrasal or construction equivalents in creole. I'm fascinated by these. As you already know, I love to know other ways of expressing the same idea. Could you provide these courtesy constructions if they exist? Also, what are other words for "so" as an intensifier? I know that in this context, "so" translates "tèlman" but what are other words that could replace it?Ex"Would you be so kind as to help carry the groceries in my car?""Have the courtesy in sitting down immediately.""Would you be a dear in lending me some money to pay for my books?"I hope I make sense. Sometimes my head is jumbled with a lot of ideas. Feel free to add more and be as detailed as you can."
Ou fè anpil sans, men kesyon ou an sanble li genyen
plizyè pati. Gen moun ki ta di w Ayisyen
pa nan tout koze siplikasyon sa yo, men se pa vre. Chak peyi gen fason pa yo pou eksprime
jantiyès. Ayiti pa fè eksepsyon. Aysiyen va di w:
souple….
mwen yon sèvis tanpri…
mwen yon sèvis tanpri ti cheri a
soupriye w an gras, fè sa pou mwen …..
m plezi e rann mwen yon sèvis….
people may even say:
kè m kontan e rann mwen tèl sèvis…..
