Exercise 44 - Adjectives (answers to exercise 43)

In the previous exercise we were trying to figure out the adjectives. I gave you a few sentences to translate in Haitian Creole. Here are the answers

Answer 1 The ugly smelly shoe - Soulye lèd santi a.
(Both "lèd" and "santi" are adjectives that follow the noun. And "a" is the singular definite article. Remember that the definite article is determined based on the word it follows.)

Answer 2: The ancient yellow house - Ansyen kay jòn nan.
("ansyen" is one of these adjectives that come before the noun. "jòn" follows the noun. All the colors (as an adjective) will always follow the noun. And "nan" is the singular definite article).

Answer: 3:  The little pretty girl- bèl ti fi a.
(Both "bèl" and "ti" are adjectives that come before the noun. "a" is the definite article.)

Answer 4: The rusty old car - Vye machin wouye a.
("Vye" is an adjective that comes before the noun.  "wouye" will come after the noun. "a" is a definite article.)

Answer 5: The huge ugly box - Gwo bwat lèd la.
("Gwo" always come before the noun.  "Lèd" will come after the noun. ."la" is a definite article.)
