mwen gwen question pou ou. le ou di nimew kat (4), poukisa you di 'katran' instead of 'katan'? Where does the 'tr' come from? What don't you do the same for the other numbers?

The literal translation of katran is four (4) years.
The "tr" comes from the french word for four (4) which is quatre.
In french, four (4) years is quatre ans.
It's actually pronounced katran.
