hold a grudge - gen rankin

Honey, we must go so we can do well...
(sentence not  clear - try to slice it to bits)
cherie - honey
se pou nou ale - we must go
wi - yes
paske - because
nou pral byen fè - we'll do well
wiii is not a Haitian Creole word.

Do you do private tutoring of the language?

Only if you were my padawan, then I'd be the jedi knight :)

I've been looking for the translation for 'depale', does it have anything to do with 'pale'?

pale means to speak, to talk
depale means to ramble, to speak in a foolish and meaningless way.

example: Lè Joe sou, li depale anpil - When Joey's drunk, he rambles a lot.

hey girl, what's the word for "sign your name here."

Hi :)
siyen - to sign (v.)
sinyati - signature
siyen non w - sign your name
siyen non w la - sign your name here
mete sinyati w la - put your signature here
nou bezwen sinyati w - we need your signature
nou bezwen pou vin siyen papye a - We need you to come and sign the document.

Mandaly, i'm stress, creole translation

I'm stressed - m sou tansyon (most popular way to say it)
I'm stressed - m anba tansyon
I'm extremely stressed - m anba anpil presyon

Can i see ur ID card, or do u have an ID card, or do u have a driver license, creole translation.

Eske mwen kapab wè kat idantifikasyon ou? -Can I see your ID card?
Eske ou gen yon kat idantifikasyon? - Do you have an id card?
id card - kat idantifikasyon is pronounced ee-duh-tee-fee-kah-scion , do not vocalize the n at the end:)

Kote lisans ou? - where's your driver's license?
Eske ou gen yon lisans? - Do you have a driver's license? or
ou gen lisans? - got a driver's license?
Ban mwen lisans ou tanpri - Let me have your driver's license please
driver's license - lisans is pronounced lee-suh-ss
