what are the ways to use the word manke?

manke → to lack, almost, to miss

Manke → To lack, to not have enough of.

Manje a manke sèl.
The food is lacking in salt.
The food is not salty enough.

Nèg sa manke souplès.
This man is lacking in sensitivity.

Chanm nan manke solèy.
The room is lacking in sun.
The room is not bright enough.

Fèt sa manke chalè.
This party is lacking in heat.
This party is not lively enough.


manke → almost

Mwen manke tonbe.
I almost fell.

Li manke wè m.
He almost saw me.

Machin nan manke frape madanm nan.
The car almost hit the lady.

Mwen manke pa rekonèt ou.
I almost didn't recognize you.

Sometimes, Creole speakers will use "manke" to mean "to miss" (as in: to want).
To be honest, it is best to say "sonje" in this case. But you will hear "manke" anyways.
To use this word right, it is the item that is being missed which is used as a subject.

I miss you.
Ou manke m.

I miss her.
Li manke m.

I miss them so much.
Yo manke m si tèlman.
