ou konnen.. ti moun en Haiti pap panse de lougawou andan lakay yo, ou byen anba caban yo.. yo pe zonbi.. Now, clap ur hands..

You're right. In the children's mind, in Haiti, it is the lougawou, the zonbi, and the lamayòt that rule the night, not monsters.

E pa ti pè m te pè leswa lè m tande rara ap pase.
Sa ki pi mal la, lè w tande rara a byen lwen, sa vle di li pre. Men lè w tande li pre, sa vle di li lwen.
M kontan m fini ak sa.

how they say disease in creole?

Disease - maladi

i prefer to use the word "Lougawou"..but i'm worried about maybe spelling..

The spelling 'lougawou' is right.
You know you could also use 'lamayòt' which  is Creole for 'clowns'.
Boy oh boy!I used to worry about 'lamayòt' at night when i was a little girl in Haiti.

Daddy! What is it? I'm scare. See, no monster. Let's show this to the sheriff.

You know... children in Haiti are not worried about monsters in their closet, or under the bed. They're afraid of zombies...
Now, translating...

-Papa! (Daddy!)
-Kisa k genyen? (What is it?)
-M pè. (I'm scared.)
-Ou wè, pa gen zonbi la. An al montre cherif la sa. (See, no monster. Let's show this to the sherif.)

Haitian Creole for 'monster' is 'mons'

i DO NOT UNDERSTAND CREOLE

M pa konprann Kreyòl.

CT Scanner i was think more of the scanner people use at the airport to scan a person.. Haiti doesn't have any terrorist.. So therefore why do you we need a TC Scanner..Is this what it is?

The CT scanner is for hospital use, for diagnosing diseases. It's a very important piece of medical equipment which can be helpful in disease prevention.  If this is Haiti's first, then Haiti is way, way behind.

The country of Haiti finally got its first for-public-use CT Scanner. What do you think?

I cannot believe that this is a milestone in 2011!
A country of more than 10 million people finally gets its first CT scanner. When I heard the news I didn't know whether to be happy or shocked. I choose to be happy... better now than later.
So, in Haiti, we now have 1 CT scanner per 10 million people ... Yay!!!!
Thanks to the charitable foundation Yélé Haiti's $500,000 financial support who made it all possible.
It is a 16-slice CT scanner given to the medical organisation Medishare. The scanner now sits at the hospital Bernard Mevs.
With a CT scan a doctor can diagnose a brain hemmorrhage, tumors, coronary artery disease, pulmonary embolism and much more.

Tiltle "I will be with you", God's Power: Topic "when you pass through the water I will be with you. and through the rivers. they shall not overflow you"...Isaiah 43v2 we're talk about this chapter last week. We saw Ransomed Nation-is a punishment by pay

Title - Tit

I will be with you - Mwen Va Avèk Ou

God's Power - Pouvwa Bondye

Topic - Sijè

"Lè nap pase sou lanmè, map kanpe la avèk nou; lè nap janbe gwo dlo, dlo a pap bote nou ale; lè nap mache nan dife a, dife a pap boule nou; flanm dife a pap fè nou anyen." Ezayi 43v2
(you did not include grayed part in the verse, did you want it in there?)


We've talked about this chapter last week.Nou te pale de chapit sa semèn pase.

Ransomed Nation - Nasyon Rachete


Is a punishment by pay - se yon pinisyon ke yo peye pou li (explain more)

I turn 60 on June 29 and I want to wear a bilingual button. How do I translate:60 years old today!Aged to perfection! ***I think it would start with:60 ane jodi-a! BUT, I'm not sure if there is an equivalent idiom for "aged to perfection."

Aged to perfection can be translated from the french: agé (e) a la perfection.
The equivalent in Creole would be: byen vyeyi - aged well.

I HAVE A FEW MORE, I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO WAIT FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

Ok. Send them in. If it's a lot of materials, just send to me via my e-mail: Limanecasimi@aol.com.

Christ never ask anyone for advice, all His ministries, all his miracles come from God.. Christ is the Saviour of Sinners everybody can relate to him.

Accurate translation:

Christ never ask anyone for advice.
Kris pat janm mande okenn moun konsèy.

All his ministries, all his miracles come from God.
Tout ministè li, to mirak li yo vini de Bondye.

Christ is the Saviour of sinners.
Kris se sovè pechè yo.

Everybody can relate to Him.
Li te pase kote nap pase a.
