How do you say boys and girls in mauritian creole?

In Mauritian Creole, "boys and girls" can be said in a few different ways, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Garson ek tifi: This is the most literal translation and is considered formal.

* Zenn garson ek zenn tifi: This adds the word "young" and is even more formal.

Informal:

* Ti garson ek ti tifi: This uses "ti" which means "small" or "little" and is more casual.

* Bann garson ek bann tifi: This adds the plural "bann" to make it more inclusive.

Other Options:

* Zanfan: This is simply the word for "children" and can be used when referring to both boys and girls together.

* Group of children: This is a more general way to refer to a group of boys and girls.

Example:

"Let's all gather the ti garson ek ti tifi for the games." (Let's gather all the little boys and girls for the games)

The best option depends on the situation and who you are talking to.
