How do I say this in Creole (Mauritius)?
- I could have gone to the store.
- I should have gone to school.
- Can I come with you?
Miss N. I have lived in Mauritius and understand Creole (to hear it) fairly well. I am fluent in French and English so that helps. I know a few things in Creole, but have never learned much of the structure of the language. It is actually not a difficult language when one already speaks French. I love the fact that it is phonetic. The rules are much simpler than French as well. Don't feel that I don't understand the vocabulary of the phrases that you have given me. I do. Making phrases out of what I know and expressing myself in the language is another story. That is why I am asking you, the Mauritians. (My Mauritian friends mostly talk to me in French).

I could have gone to the store: Mo ti capave alle la boutik
I should have gone to school: Mo ti aurai di alle l'école
Can I come with you? : Mo capave vinne ek toi? or Eski mo capave vinne toi?
Creole is hard to understand and you have to learn it from living in Mauritius... So you should come!! ;-)

I could have gone to the store = Mo ti a kapave alle la boutik.
I should have gone to school = Mo ti aurai di alle l'école.
Can I come with you? = Eski mo capave vine ek toi? OR Eski mo capave vine ek ou? (you use TOI if you know the person, and OU if you do not know him. TOI is equivalent to the French TU, and OU is equivalent to the French VOUS).
