How can you use PINGA? As a noun or as a verb?


You could use it as a noun and auxillary.

The best English translation for "PINGA!" that I can't think of is 'DON'T!",  "DON'T YOU DARE!", or "YOU BETTER NOT..."
PINGA is always used as a warning, with the understanding that there might be consequences.

Examples:

As auxillary
Pinga ou fè sa!
Don't you do that!

Pinga ou pale ak moun sa yo.
Don't talk to these people.

Pinga ou kite nonm sa pran tèt ou.
Don't let this man take your head (literally)
Don't be taken by this man.

As a noun:
Mache sou pinga w.
Walk on your pinga. (literally)
Be vigilant.

Yo te ba l yon pinga.
They gave him an warning.
