Yon kabann malè is a bed of misfortune; a bed of danger.

Yon kabann malè is a bed of misfortune; a bed of danger.

Sa a se yon Yon kabann malè wi - In this sentence, the speaker wants to stress the danger that can be found on such a bed. It may be because the bed is not solid or cannot sustain the weight of its occupants. Or it may be because the people who use this bed engage in illicit activities. The 'wi' used at the end of the sentence shows emphasis. It is used mostly in affirmative sentences. Whereas non is used at the end of a negative sentence. Follow some of our recent audio lessons on 'Ann Pale Kreyol Avek Sa-k Pase N-ap Boule Textbook Notes..."

Please do not confuse 'M-ale...' with 'malè." M'ale means I am leaving; I go, I went, I leave. Example: L-ale - Li ale - (He/she left or he/she went)

Thanks for asking this question.
