How to say "PROCRASTINATE (v.)" and "DEADLINE (n.)" in Creole? I have not been able to find them in MY dictionary.

PROCRASTINATE - trennen pye (literally means dragging one's feet).  Remember to add corresponding pronoun at the end.
Example:
He's procrastinating.  Lap trennen pye l.
You are procrastinating. - Wap trennen pye w.
Why are you putting this thing off? - Poukisa wap trennen pye w sou sa?

DEADLINE - delè, dènye delè
Example
I'm giving you a deadline for Friday.
Map ba ou yon dènye delè pou Vandredi.

Today is the deadline.
Jodi a se dènye delè a.
