I have a question about your post on painting fingernails. You said the expression is woze dwètI'm not familiar with woze is that slang, and doesn't dwèt mean finger? Is this one of those that doesn't literally translate? Would Penti zong ou, also work

Yes, you could also say pentire zong or woze zong.

Woze literally means to render pink or red. It comes from the word woz which means pink.

ou bezwen pe pou sa BD ka pance de ou men ou pa bezwen pe de Lom kaz pance de ou ok? (english)

Ou bezwen pè sa Bondye panse de ou, men ou pa bezwen pè sa lòm panse de ou.

Be afraid of what God thinks of you, but don't be afraid of what man thinks of you.

Ou dwe pè jan Bondye wè w, men pa pè jan lòm wè w.
