petèt → maybe, perhaps
poutèt → because of

Mwen dezole ou pèdi match la jodi a, petèt demen se va jou pa'n.
I'm sorry you lost the game today, perhaps tomorrow will be our day.

Se poutèt peche nou li te mouri sou lakwa.
It's because of our sins that He died on the cross.

Yo pa't kite'l antre nan fèt la poutèt fason li te abiye.
They did not let her into the party because of the way she was dressed.
