Oops sorry I actually meant to say "Poumba w bade!" Hope this helps
ReplyDeleteI think it’s most likely “pou m pa bade w”.
DeleteBade means to coat, to smear, to smudge
… pou m pa bade w … - so that I don’t smear you
You would probably hear this in a threatening way, for example,
Pa fè frekansite w avè m pou m pa bade w ak kout baton – Don’t be disrespectful to me so that I don’t flood you with a good spanking.
Other example on use of “bade”:
Pantalon l te bade ak labou. – His pants were smeared with mud.
Li bade figi fanm nan ak kalòt. - He/she slapped the woman.
Tout miray kay la te bade ak salte - All the walls of the house were smudged with filth.
Thank you! Your examples really helped Mandaly
