  1. Is this sentence: mwen pa vize pou satisfè foul la, which translates "I don't aim to please/satisfy the crowd." What are other words for "vize" in this context? Also, what are other words for "crowd" in creole?

    1. crowd - yon foul moun, yon gouf moun

      As far as "vize", you can use 'objektif' or 'entansyon' as in this translation: "Se pa entansyon mwen pou m satisfè foul la."
