Someone told me that retresi and ratresi are not the same. retresi is used for things like shoes that has shrunk and ratresi means to shorten something. Can you give me some examples of that?

Actually ratresi and retresi are synonymous. Some Haitians in one region say retresi and others say ratresi.
