So dribbling (with your feet) a soccer ball and dribbling (with your hands) a basketball are both "mate"? (Doesn't seem to mesh with 07Dec11.) Please clarify.
ReplyDeleteNo. I wasn't sure your original sentence was about sport. Now I can be clear :)
ReplyDeleteDribbling with the hand → mate (pronounced mah-tay)
Dribbling with the foot → trible (pronounced tree-blay)
Kicking the ball → choute
I wrote the comment, but not the original post.
ReplyDelete"choute"? Really? If I'm not shooting ("chout-ing") it (i.e. at the goal), is there a different word?
you can say:
ReplyDeletebay yon gòl → to make a goal
fè yon gòl → to kick a goal
choute bou la nan kan an.
Kick the goal into the goalie
You do call it goalie, right?
Li fè yon bon chout.
He made one hell of a kick.
My friend, at a soccer game, always screams:
Choute boul la fout! Choute li non!
Kick the ball damnit! Kick it!
