đ€ Guianese Creole French Greetings for Everyday Life
Hi Guianese Creole French learners! đ
Do you want to learn how to say "Hello" in Guianese Creole French?
Greetings are an important part of any language because they allow you to connect and communicate with others.
If youâre planning a trip to the country or are trying to learn Guianese Creole French, keep reading to discover some of the most important greetings.
Letâs get started! đ€
Greetings
In Guyana, we say "good evening" (bonswĂš) from noon.
It seems that it's because the evening news is broadcast live at the beginning of the afternoon, the presenter says "good evening" so everyone does the same, a habit very hard to break.
