Q
Saying Midday and Midnight in Haitian Creole
A
The Creole word for midday is midi and for midnight is minui.
Now, when you are referring to midday or midnight, it is best to use the preposition a, which means at.
This is because those words are used for telling time from the clock
EXAMPLE: Mwen manje a midi → I eat at noon
