Vize (from the French word "viser") - to aim (to aspire, to focus)
We're aiming high. - Nap vize wo.

but,

To aim (to point) → pwente, brake (pronounced brah-kay)

He aimed the gun at me.
Li brake fizi a sou mwen.
Ask me anything

    Is this sentence: mwen pa vize pou satisfè foul la, which translates "I don't aim to please/satisfy the crowd." What are other words for "vize" in this context? Also, what are other words for "crowd" in creole?

      crowd - yon foul moun, yon gouf moun

      As far as "vize", you can use 'objektif' or 'entansyon' as in this translation: "Se pa entansyon mwen pou m satisfè foul la."
