How do you say what makes me happy in Cajun French?

There are a couple of ways to say "what makes me happy" in Cajun French, depending on the nuance you want to convey:

More literal:

* Kisa ki fé mwa kontan? (kee-sah kee fay mwah kon-tan) - This is the most direct translation and means "What makes me happy?"

* Ki chouz ki fé mwa kontan? (kee shooze kee fay mwah kon-tan) - Similar to the above, but using "chouz" (thing) instead of "kisa" (what).

More idiomatic:

* Kisa ki donne mwa la joie? (kee-sah kee donn mwah la zhwa) - This means "What gives me joy?" and is a more poetic way to express happiness.

* Kisa ki me fé sentir bien? (kee-sah kee meh fay sen-teer bee-en) - This means "What makes me feel good?" and emphasizes a sense of well-being.

Ultimately, the best way to say "what makes me happy" in Cajun French depends on the context and your personal preference.
