    Hello Anaïs, hello Raymond,

    I would be at a loss to have authority in this area, having in addition to English, done my schooling in Latin and Greek ("tempus fugit", time flies) and having very little opportunity to hear Creole, even if I understand it as well.

    Furthermore, I keep as far away as possible from "societal" issues, due to my addiction to computer science, a theme that I believe is often overlooked. Therefore, I can only propose a makeshift translation.

    Moreover, my generation would have never thought (or dared) to use Creole to honor their parents, for fear of making them laugh out loud.

    Other times, other customs.

    Without meddling in family relationships and without any value judgment, a loving mother will appreciate a tribute from her daughter, whatever the form.

    However, I recommend avoiding "automatic" translators, which generate gibberish worthy of a firing squad (with tickling bullets, of course).

    Alright, for Raymond, I'll make an exception, in these times of alliance and concord urbi et orbi.

    "Bonn' Fèt' Manman, moin ka espéré ou ké ainmain sa. Loulout' a-ou ki ainmin' ou an pil".

    PS: Rémon, moin ké voyé factur-la ba'ou. I translate for Creole speakers from Guadeloupe or elsewhere: "Raymond, I'm going to send you the bill".

    Best regards

        Sorry, I couldn't read more because of my network, thanks for the translation, it's indeed from Martinican Creole? Thanks again.

        This is, in any case, my maximum expertise in this field. There are academics who teach Creole languages, but I have never encountered any on CCM, a site for mutual help between people like you and me.

        I think your mom will understand the message and especially the intention.

        For academic validation, it will likely be necessary to wait for another participant to amend or correct my proposal, knowing that Creole languages are based on an essentially oral and phonetic tradition.

        Have a good evening.

    What do you mean? Your mom understands Creole, but you don’t?

    I invited Georges97, a Martiniquan, to help you out.
    As for me, I practice Guadeloupean Creole...
