A Simple Expression


This expression is quite simple because its individual words have direct English translations. For example, the Haitian Creole word kapital and the English word capital can both refer to the most important city in a country or region.

Furthermore, the word total generally has the same meaning in both English and Haitian Creole. This means that most Haitians would understand you—even those who were not born in Haiti and are only semi-fluent in Haitian Creole.
