    Hi Mandaly, love your stuff on here!
    Regarding this post, are there cases where certain of these words would be used over the others? Or is it just up to the speaker? Thank you!

      In the case of 'or', it would mostly depend on which part of Haiti the speaker or the speaker's family is from. Thanks.
