    Give me

2. Fè'm kado yon ti dlo.
    Give me some water.

3. Nou te fè yo kado yon $20.00.

  1. This site is so helpful!!!! I am Haitian-American and unfortunately my parents only spoke English with my siblings and I. I want to go to Haiti and learn as much Creole as possible before going. Thank you!
