Fruits

Here are some of the most common fruits in Haitian:

Haitian	Pronunciation	English
banann	bah-nahn	banana
zaboka	zah-boh-kah	avocado
grenadye	greh-nah-dyeh	pomegranate
zabriko	zah-bree-koh	apricot
mango	mahn-goh	mango

pòm	pohm	apple
zaboka "mandyan"	zah-boh-kah mahn-dyahn	Alphonso mango
moushmi	moosh-mee	they are the edible whisper

Some tips for pronunciation: - The letter "r" in Haitian is pronounced differently than in English. It is pronounced by flipping the tongue forward and making a trilling sound. - The letter "k" in Haitian is pronounced as a hard "k," similar to how it sounds in English.

Vegetables

Next, let's take a look at some of the most common vegetables in Haitian:

Haitian	Pronunciation	English
pwa	pwa	beans
zonyon	zohn-yohn	onion
tomat	toh-maht	tomato
chou	choo	cabbage
lennon	lehn-nohn	carrot
mayi	mah-yee	corn
betrav	beh-trahv	beet
piman	pee-mahn	bell pepper
legim	leh-jeem	vegetables
pwa nwa	pwan-wah	black beans

Some notes on pronunciation: - The digraph "ou" in Haitian is pronounced as a single vowel sound, similar to "oo" in English. - The letter "m" in Haitian is pronounced by pressing the lips together, making it sound more like "bm."
