How do you say "I did not know what she looked like"

I did not know what she looked like.
Mwen pa't konnen ak kisa li te sanble.

sanble - seem, look like

Ou sanble ak papa w.

You look like your father.

Yo sanble ak yon bann ti fomi.

They look like a bunch of ants.

Li sanble ak yon zanj.

She looks like an angel.

Sanble lapli pral tonbe.
It looks like it's going to rain.

Sanble ou bliye m.
It seems that you have forgotten me.

Sanble ou fache avè m.
It seems that you're mad at me.

For "the Council of the Five", which is better Creole -- "konsèy senk la" or "konsèy senk yo"? Or maybe "konsèy senk yo a"? "Konsèy senk la a"? Amwè!

Anmwe vre mezanmi :)

"Konsèy Senk la" would be the best one since the article "la" specifies "konsèy".

Ask me anything

For "gratitude", which is better Creole -- "gratitid" or "rekonèsans"?

Rekonesans (without the accent on the "e" :)

So far im listening to haitian radio station, i surround myself with haitians, and i check frequently your website.

That's a good start.
Along with your daily conversations with your Haitian friends, you may also want to check if they offer any Haitian Creole language or conversation classes in your area.
You will also find some great reading books / story books written in basic Creole at the online bookstore Educavision.com
Then, if you keep at it, you'll see great results.

How do you say "I don't want to be with you?"

I don't want to be with you.

Mwen pa vle ret avè w.

Very sad thing to say.  Remember to be gentle :)

Ask me anything

Must I use "fèk" and "sòt" together? Can I say "Nou fèk wè yo" and "Nou sòt wè yo", or does it need to be "Nou fèk sòt wè yo"?

Fèk and fèk sòt indicates a more immediate past.

Yes, you may use fèk all by itself.

Nou fèk wè yo  (We just saw them) is accurate.

And yes, you will hear Creole speakers use "sòt" by itself.

sòt (sòti) → to come from

Nou sòt wè yo (We come from seeing them)

And, Nou fèk sòt wè yo (We just come from seeing them) is also accurate.

So, you're good with all three :)
