"left" as in 'She's been left behind.' and 'How many do you have left'?

That's two different verbs here (in creole).

She's been left behind.
Yo kite l dèyè.


We left it on the porch.
Nou kite l sou galeri a.


They left the kids on their own.
Yo kite timoun yo pou kont yo.




left (remain v.), left over) → rete


How many do you have left?
Konbyen ou rete?


Is this all that's left?
Se tout sa ki rete?


They took all my money.  I have nothing left.
Yo te pran tout lajan mwen.  Mwen pa gen anyen ki rete.
