    Does anyone know of a Pidgin English translation site or the translation for 'hao iu stap'?

    Question #23162. Asked by Renovator Rabbit.

    Kainantu

    'Hao iu stap?' means 'How are you?'
    Also means 'How are you going?'
    Hao(how) iu(you) stap(stopping i.e 'going!')
    stap(intransitive verb)= be,remain,rest,be in progress,be present

    I've never seen 'yu' printed as 'iu' before
    Yet another typo on The Quiz!

    Another is 'Yu stap gut?'
    meaning 'Are you well?' (gut=good)

    'Mi hamamas long lukim yu' means 'I am happy to see you.'
    Also used in conversation. Makes people very happy.

    Doesn't work in China where you are destined,however...

    My you're up early today to do this quiz. Read the comics yet?
