bonjou mwen ka palé patwa oben kwéyol :)

Hiya! I think you're saying you're speaking Kwéyòl! (translate is not picking this language unfortunatly)

Have a nice day!

i hv a cool idea for an ask game where you put simple or complex sentences your choice into someone's askbox and they translate it from memory in one sentence trying to make use of all the langs they know/are learning without searching for vocab etc and you can just default to your native langs for words you can't translate

e.g. 💌 - i listen to music while i eat chocolate

answer: mwen écoute la música pendant que mwen manjé schokolade

langs used: patois (french creole) french spanish and german

ok this is really out of the blue but i have a character im making who is Rromani-Haitian Creole and i saw you mention that you're Romani-Creole so i wanted to maybe establish a contact 'cause im trying to educate myself about the cultures i include in my writing. (im gadje and mostly white)

that's not the only reason im sending an ask, i looked through your blog and you seem really interesting as a person too. (does that sound too desperate? i mean it though, i forgot why i was on your blog just scrolling through lol)

of course i understand that one person isn't an end-all, be-all source but i didn't really expect to run into anyone with the same ethnic background as my character this soon

gah im sorry this must be a weird ask to receive you probably just want to be left alone instead of annoyed with questions

Fare thee well

Hey! Sorry this got lost in my inbox! I think it’s awesome you’re writing a character like that!!! I’m definitely not an arbiter for Romani-Creole cross culture, but I could maybe point you in the right direction. In the interest of clarity, I’m not Haitian Creole, and instead Louisiana/New Orleans Creole, and don’t have much experience with Haitian Creole culture.

In my own experience, the cultures are pretty separate, although I guess that’s to be expected of a largely American culture vs an Eastern European/North Indian one. There are similarities in the way that both are kind of a melting pot of sorts, with Creoles having a culture that is largely a mixture of French, Spanish, and many African cultures, and Romani people having traditions of both their own cultures and those of the areas they’ve settled in. Languages are also often a patois of regional and independent ones as well.

Romani culture is also not monolithic, and there are several distinct cultures within it as well. Kalderash Roma are going to be different from Polska Roma, and so on.

All this to say, each culture has a lot of traditions and variations, so there’s some freedom if you’re creating a fictionalized version based on similar themes, but depending on if you want to really go into the minutiae of each culture, there’s admittedly a lot of research to do there.

Let me know if I can help!

Words of the Day

"Me likkle but me talawa" -- just want to put this here, 'cause I heard someone say it this week.

carceral:

A pergola is most commonly an outdoor garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained.

Though similar, a pergola is different from a gazebo.

Ever Heard Post-Punk In Patois? @TrxpGoth & Indie Anthony Give Us, "VEX"

Music is limitless, and when it comes to music taste, many are diverse in that field. While many would believe the Caribbean population only cares for the sounds of Reggae, Soca, Latin Music, Hip Hop, Afrobeats, R&B, and Pop in a sense, there are those who not only love, but dabbled in the fields of Heavy Metal, Rock, EDM, Trance, or even going back to the days of Disco to name a few. Enter…

Introduction

Hi there!

I'm new to Tumblr, so we'll see how well everything goes here...

My name is Pema and my pronouns are they/them. I'm from Sweden, but I speak five different languages, but definitely not all of them equally well.

I speak:

Swedish (native)

English (C2)

Norwegian (Nynorsk & Jærsk) (~B2)

Jamaican Patois (B1)

Sranantongo (A2~)

I'm also learning Tibetan and Japanese, but I've put them on hold for a while.

My favourite things to do are writing and reading all kinds of literature, but I mainly write poetry, playing and writing (mainly classical) music, playing videogames and looking at art. I sometimes draw abstract art myself, as you can see on my profile picture, so I'm open to any kind of style in all art forms!

My favourite video games are Syberia, Jade Empire, the Legend of Zelda series, the Pokémon series and the Mario games.

I'll mainly use this platform to share my art and writing, but probably also to discuss games and practice all of my languages.

I'm very glad to be here and I hope you all enjoy what I post! Feel free to ask me anything and to give comments on what I post; everything except for hate is encouraged here!

Sincerely, and with a hopeful smile to all

Pema <3
