We share a common history. The Seychelles was settled from Mauritius. Our languages are almost the same. There were some things he didn't clarify so I will write about them. For you he said ou'nn. Ou'nn comes from ou finn, like ou finn al dan lakaz (I'm using Mauritian here). You've already gotten home. In Mauritian Creole we use 'ou' for polite 'you', 'to' for regular 'you'.

Sak pasé Maggie Mauritius and Seychelles are on the east coast of Africa but they’re creole are similar to the Haitian and the west indies creole ( Martinique, Dominica Saint Lucie etc ) because they are more French based French colonization lasted too long. Although now the young people slang words from English street language influences how they are casually evolving into something else but the creole language is as strong as ever. I’m Haitian and I visited most the Caribbean and West Indies but Mauritius and Seychelles are on the list of places I most visit. Thank you and keep it up.

I'm curious as a Mauritian, do you guys actually learn French at school? Or do you even use it in day to day life outside school if you actually do. I always wondered if what English is to you, is what French is to us. Cause I've always seen your media is either in Creole or English, here in Mauritius it is always either in French or Creole. So I'm quite curious on that.

@franciswoodcock9169 3 жыл бұрын

@@psychout3481 In Seychelles, We learn French at school, usually from primary 1 to secondary 5, around 11 years. But because all the other subjects like Mathematics, Geography, Science, History.... are taught in English, most of the movies we watch are also in English. Sometimes we get French mixed up we Creole, and because afraid of making mistakes when we speak French, we prefer to stick to English and Creole. We can basically understand everything in French, but when it comes to expressing ourselves, we have a bit of difficulty with things like "Conjugaison " 😂. I think as a Francophone country we should put more emphasis on French though. It feels kind of awkward hearing only Seychellois Athletes speaking in English during interviews at Jeux des îles. 😂

Seychelles has also drawn a lot of interest from around the world thanks to a certain anime called Hetalia which sparked a cultural boom around the world as people began to see the different countries of the world represented as characters (Seychelles is one of them), and more came from a musical subculture of Hetalia that formed when people began posting songs from around the world showcasing the characters and the songs were often picked in the exact same languages as the nations they represent, and in the case of Seychelles, it was a song called Mon Pti Zil Sesel by Dezil and this is the very reason I came to learn about Seychellois Creole. For absolutely bizarre reasons, a country can suddenly develop a presence in a matter of months even if it previously was entirely unknown.

mon - I or Me mwan - mine zot - them or they nou - us, we (nou'n - to define past tense) pou - to (to go, to come) pour - for (for me, for them) I - he or she Li - him or her ou - you singular "n" is added to the pronoun to define the past (but this depends on the structure of the phrase) 'ou'n' is used to define past tense when you're addressing directly to one individual and (i'n) is used when addressing one or more but referring to another person (singular) "n" is always added to define past, one example ''pa'' - not....I pa'n vini - He/She did not came. In Seychellois creole, it's the advert and pronoun which define the tense. the plural "n" is also added to define the past (but this depends on the structure of the phrase) but a little more complex is the way it is phrased. Example; zot i'n vin la - they came here. In Seychellois creole, the verb used in continuous or present vini - come or coming (depending on the structure of the phrase) vin - come or coming (depending on the structure of the phrase) I pe vini - He is coming I'n vini - He came I pour vini - He'll be coming I pe vin la - He is coming here I'n Vin la - He came here

Seychelles creole started off as French based. I think people are not aware a lot of English words are French based I believe French was spoken in UK for 100 years. The word intelligence is written the same in French as in English but pronounced differently. The modern creole might be more English based due to social media and people being lazy to use the creole word for things.

@landshark9992 2 жыл бұрын

French wasn't exactly spoken in the UK, so much as the uppermost crust of British society (the Normans who followed William et al). It did, however, change the course of the English language by leaving a huge imprint on the language, ousting many native words of Germanic/Anglo-Saxon origin and replacing them with French-derived terms. We can still see this influence today

Please CharisMaggie how can I get across to Jean-Luc Barra , I want to get some information from him because I would like to visit Seychelles this year and I want someone who can put me through

@CharisMaggieTV Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Mike. Unfortunately, I can’t give our personally info of my guests. The great thing about the internet is that there are many ppl who make content about visiting different countries, including Seychelles so I would advice starting there on KZfaq, TikTok or Instagram. Hope that helps 💕

People in seychelles are very laid back. Noone is in a rush not even at work.. regarding religion wise.. Roman Catholic but has been divided into many other sects and a good range of Muslim aswell. Creole is very close to French I would say it's easier than french and that 1 word can mean 3 things depending on which sentence your using it in. If you want to come for a vacation most tourist find it expensive for accommodation best to stay in self-catering it's a safe country

Creole was given to the offsprings of the white masters who impregnated the slave woman and whose baby was born in seychelles.

Maggie are all of your creole French base? Because the English creole from other Caribbean regions are also creole. Also, some countries that are under colonization like the raizal people from San Andres island, old providence and ketlina

@CharisMaggieTV Жыл бұрын

Yes, I know about the other creoles that are English based. The current ones featured on the channel are French and Portuguese based Working on adding more to exploring English based ones

Personal pronoun are almost the same with Reunionese Creole. Interesting I am not so familiar with Seychellois but happy to listen to it. Since I have got used to some Mauritian as well, I can say we can understand each other also with Seychellois. For zordi la pli i tom for. Nou gain pas aucun lendroi (would be for reunionese creole, I think it's pretty similar)

Fact check. Seychellois Creole is a french based creole..French is the main lexifier..Anglicisms crept in because of globalisation.

Yep. Seychellois Creole is very close to Mauritian Creole and they're mutually intelligible. To the point where I, of Mauritian descent, can watch Seychellois videos on KZfaq, and listen to their music, and understand ~99-100% of what's being said

I don't speak creole but English, Spanish and French. I see that this creole is very French based but I do need some time to work out words like aujourd'hui and others. It seems to me that it does help to speak these languages in order to understand it somehow. But with the proper African, Indian or other Asian rooted words I'm completely lost.
