Nou tout egal ego. Egal ego means equal, right?

Wi wi.

I don't understand how to use those properly (i.e. in place of egal alone). Please give some examples. Also, what is penpenp?

Yes, you could use some of these expressions in place of the word "equal". The ones you can use are:
equal → egal, egal ego, menm or menm bagay, menmman parèyman.

Example:
These two cups are equal (the same).
De tas sa yo egal ego.

You and your dad have the same mannerism.
Ou menm ak papa w se menmman parèyman.

You and your sister look so much alike.
Ou menm ak sè w la tankou de gout dlo.

penpenp is anything, a concept, circumstance, or object.

Chak jou se menm penpenp lan.
Every day it's the same thing.
Ask me anything
