What's the difference between "wète" ak "retire"?

retire → to remove to take out, to take off, to clear out
Wete → to remove to take out, to take off, to clear out

"retire, wete, wet", they are all the same. "wete" is some kind of derivative of "retire"


Retire chapo w.
Wete chapo w.
Wet chapo w.
Take off your hat.


M'ap retire kò m nan sitiyasyon an.
M'ap wete kò m nan sitiyasyon an.
I'm removing myself from the situation.


Retire kò w la!
Wete kò w la!
Wet kò w la!
Get out of here!


Mwen retire chapo m byen ba devan w.
Mwen wete chapo m byen ba devan w.
Mwen wet chapo byen ba devan w.
I take off my hat really low before you.
I salute you!
