Origin:<\/strong><\/td>\r\n\r\n

The Haitian Creole word “Berej\u00e8n” comes from the Spanish “berenjena”.<\/p>\r\n

There is a creolization process of Spanish words in Haitian Creole as well. For example, sandals can also be called “sapat” which would come from the Spanish “zapatos”.<\/p>\r\n

The name “Peralte” which is the last name of a Haitian hero (Charlemagne Peralte<\/a>) who fought against the first US invasion in 1915 seems to come from “Peralta”.<\/p>\r\n

A Dominican border city called “Elias Pinas” in Dominican Spanish is usually called “Eliaspin” in Haitian Creole.<\/p>\r\n

Another instance is in playing dominoes in Haiti, players would say “de kab\u00e8s (two heads)” which comes from the Spanish “dos cabezas”, like in “ganar en capicua”<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
