I have just learned that "anfonse" means to sink in English. What are other words or verbal expressions for "to sink"? Also, what are other words in creole that means "to knock down(someone or something)", "to dismount" or "to dismantle". I may know one or two that means this, but I feel like there are more. I want to know more if they exist.

To sink - koule, plonje, fè fon, anfondre, nofraje, fè nofraj, nwaye, neye, etc...

There are so many Haitian Creole words that can be used to say to knock down someone ..... I can only name a few:
demanbre, demachwele, krabinen, toufounen, filange, filange, domaje, maspinen, kokobe, etc....
there's probably 50 more.....

the same goes for to knock down something .... dechouke, deplase, demantle, demonte, deboulonnen
etc...

    Hi Mandaly,
    I'm looking for this old christian creole song titled: Mennen mwen lakay ou papa, mennen mwen lakay ou. I can't remember the rest of the lyrics. As usual, thank you very much. Blessings to you.
