Which country is cajun in?

Cajun is a bastardisation of the word Acadian which refers to the French speaking peoples who currently occupy the Atlantic provinces of Canada (especially Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) and parts of the State of Maine. In the mid 1700's the British Crown banished a large proportion of the Acadian population of the Atlantic provinces to the then French colony of Louisiana, confiscating their land and much of their property. Obstensively this was done because the Acadians refused to swear allegiance to the British crown but in reality it was a big property grab. The cajuns currently form a large proportion of the population of South Louisiana and other bordering areas of the Southern States. They still hold on to many archaic French customs including a local french patois which, though it has quite a lot of local idiosyncratic content still follows the basic syntax of 18th century French. The Cajun culture is best known around the world for it's often spicy and strongly flavoured cuisine which is to a large extent based on the native ingredients from the low swampy "bayou" lands of South Louisiana, particularly seafood. Much of the popularity and world wide appeal of Cajun cookery can be traced to the adaptation of basic Cajun home cooking to haute cuisine by the chef Paul Prudhomme. So to make a long story short Cajuns are Americans and Lousinanans but they still have a strong affinity for French culture and for the Acadia of their forefathers.

What is the English translation of the French phrase 'J'avance'?

"I'm making progress!" is just one English equivalent of the French exclamation J'avance!Specifically, the subject pronoun je* means "I". The present indicative verb avancetranslates as "(I) advance/make progress/move forward, am advancing/making progress/moving forward, do advance/make progress/move forward" among a number of other possibilities depending upon context. The pronunciation will be "zha-vawss" in French.*The vowel drops -- and is replaced by an apostrophe -- before a verb whose spelling begins with a vowel.

What does the Cajun French term to make dodo mean?

In Cajun English, make dodo means "go night-night", it's something you tell to a little kid to tell them to go to sleep. But in Cajun French, fait do do was what women told their kids whenever they went dancing. They would take the whole family with them (if the kids were little), and there would be a side partition alongside the dance hall where the kids would be put to "fait do-do" (or if you don't understand "faire dormir"), so the parents could go dancing.
