I am fascinated by many of the words in Mauritian Creole... what they mean and how they came about.
Here are some that I love:
Fiél
Fiél = moxie (="force of character, determination, or nerve.")
Pingét
Adjective applied generally to an 'impertinent' girl
Ti Piment
Adjective applied generally to a 'sharp-tongued' girl
Are there any words you are fascinated with ?
