Informal:
* "Salut, comment ça va?" (pronounced "sah-loo, coh-mon sah vah?") This is the most common and straightforward way to say "hi how are you" in Cajun French.
* "Coujon, comment t'es?" (pronounced "coo-john, coh-mon tay?") This is a more casual and friendly greeting, often used between close friends. "Coujon" is a slang term for "friend."
* "Comment ça va, cher?" (pronounced "coh-mon sah vah, shair?") This is a more polite way to say "how are you" to someone you know well. "Cher" means "dear" in English.
Formal:
* "Bonjour, comment allez-vous?" (pronounced "bohn-zhoor, coh-mon ah-lay-voo?") This is the formal way to say "good morning/afternoon, how are you."
Important note: Cajun French is a dialect of French that evolved in Louisiana. It has a unique vocabulary and pronunciation that can differ significantly from standard French.
Remember that the best way to learn Cajun French is to interact with native speakers and practice your pronunciation.
