Is it best to use the word 'andikape' as opposed to 'kokobe' when referring to a handicapped person in Haitian Creole?

Yes. We use the word andikape or enfim.

yon moun enfim - a handicapped person
yon moun andikape - a handicapped person

    Has anyone heard from Mandaly? Her blog and social media haven't been updated in quite some time. I hope all is well.

      Hi. I'm still here. Thanks for checking up on me :)
      A full time job and full time graduate studies prevented me from being faithful to my blog. I am glad the busy schedule have let up now.
