Mwen kontan paske mwen te jwenn ou jodi a. M' kapab pale piti Kreyol men m' vle apran plis. Mdm. Kristie, manmi pou twa ti moun Ayitian
Mwen kontan tande ou jodi a tou.
Mwen espere ou va pale plis Kreyòl trè byento,
Pou ou kapab kominike ak timoun ou yo, nan lang Kreyòl la tou :)
Chapo ba!

Mandaly, face to face versus face off?
face to face → fasafas, fas a fas, bab pou bab(literally, beard for beard)
If I meet with her face to face, then she can't lie to me.
Si'm rankontre avè l fasafas, li pa'p ka ban m manti.
To face off → kare(v.), twoke kòn
They faced off against each other, and the fight started.
Youn kare kont lòt, epi batay la te koumanse.
It's a face-off.
Se yon goumen. (It's a fight)
Se yon konfrontasyon. (It's a confrontation)
I think, based on what's going on, a "face-off" can also be translated in Creole as konpetisyon (competition) or a match (match)

Best way to translate "mean", as in "This does not mean anything"
mean (v.) → vle di, siyifi
What does that mean?
Kisa sa vle di?
Kisa sa siyifi?
This does not mean anything.
Sa pa vle di anyen.
Sa pa siyifi anyen.
What does that mean?
Kisa sa vle di?
Kisa sa siyifi?
This does not mean anything.
Sa pa vle di anyen.
Sa pa siyifi anyen.
Lakay mwen
Lakay mwen → home.
I am at home.
Mwen lakay mwen.
I want to go home.
Mwen vle al lakay mwen.
I am at home.
Mwen lakay mwen.
I want to go home.
Mwen vle al lakay mwen.
What does this mean? Eske mwen te begeye?
begeye → to stutter, to stumble on your words, to stammer
Eske mwen te begeye?
Was I stumbling on my words?
Did i stumble on my words?
