  1. I've never come across "pouki". In both examples above, I would have used "poukisa". When do you use "pouki" and when do you opt for "poukisa"?

  2. "why" is translated as "pouki" or "poukisa".
    Some Creole speakers say "pouki" instead of "poukisa".
    So you may use one or the other.
    It's good to know both so when you see it in writing or hear it, you'll know what it means :)

  3. Could you also say " Se fasil pou wè pouki li renmen ti fi sa." for the last one?
