timoun, pitit → child

timounchild, kid

Another way to say "child" in Haitian Creole is "pitit".

I have one child.
Mwen gen yon pititor
Mwen gen yon timoun.

How many chidren do you have?
Konbyen pitit ou genyen?  or
Konbyen timoun ou genyen?

With three children, my hands are full.
Avèk twa timoun, mwen gen kont mwen.

There were a lot of children at the church this morning.
Te gen anpil timoun nan legliz la maten an.

The children are our future.  We will leave this aging earth to them.
Timoun yo se fiti nou.  N'ap kite vye tè sa pou yo.
