Help me out Cajun French speakers

Boudé

Pronounced boo-day

Sobbin

There’s a app you can download on apple and android platforms called LearnCajun.

My Cajun family said that when I was a kid. "Aw, a fit lah pain", poor bae bae, he's making a bah bin. As your post implies there are a lot of Cajun French phrases and words I know how to pronounce but don't know how to spell them and write them.

babine

Is the spelling in Monsignor Jules Daigle's authoritative Dictionary of the Cajun Language.
But he also says that since it developed primarily as a spoken language, there is no authentic precedent for the spelling of most Cajun words.

ETA:
Boudé - pouting
Babine - lip (especially lower hanging lip)

Beignet

This thread is giving me the foire.

Anyone else call it the va vites? Yes, go fasts.

To add a different word, In Pierre Part where my Grandparents lived, they used to say "bee-nate" as well as "ba-bean"

Like, "look at that big bee-nate, he's sad/mad him" (facial expression)

"boo-day" was to pout and "ba-bean" was like the bottom lip sticking out.

Just saying cause they were Swamp Cajuns, Prairie Cajuns had different sayings in my opinion.

I found the answer faster than it probably took you to make this thread.
