I can't figure out how to submit my question, but I want to know. What do I do when a sentence ends in a preposition? Like "What do you want us to pray for?". How do I say that in Creole?

 Hi I would recommend to not translate these sentences literally, if you did it would be like comparing apples and oranges. It's a completely different concept.


Sentence:                What do you want us to pray for?

Translation:                Pou kisa ou ta renmen nou priye?

How it's translated:     For what would like us to pray?

 

Other examples:

Sentence:                    Who are you going with?

Translation:                    Avèk kimoun ou prale.

How it's translated:        With whome you're going

 

Sentence:                            Which store did you buy it from?

Translation:                        Nan ki magazen ou te achte li?

How it's translated:            From which store did you buy it?

 

Sentence:                            She is the person I voted for

Translation:                        Li se moun mwen te vote pou li a

How it's translated               She is the person I voted for
