I'm looking for a Creole word that captures the breadth of meaning in the English word "momentous". "Enpòtan", "santral", "sengilyè" just don't do it. Any ideas?
momentous → fondamantal, kritik, konsekan, prensipal, esansyèl, karakteristik, or siyifikatif (significant)
"men and boys" and "a boy or a man"
man → mesye, gason, nèg, nonm, jenonm, konpè, mouche, tip, frewo
boy → ti gason, tibray
men and boys
mesye ak ti gason yo
or just
gason yo
a boy and a man
yon ti gason ak yon mesye
boy → ti gason, tibray
men and boys
mesye ak ti gason yo
or just
gason yo
a boy and a man
yon ti gason ak yon mesye

Does one use the definite article when addressing God thusly -- "Pè Selès" v. "Pè Selès la" ?
Re: Pè Selès,
It is not necessary to use the definite article when addressing God in a prayer in Haitian Creole.
Pè Selès (from French: Père Céleste) → Celestial Father (literally) Pè Selès la → The Celestial Father (literally)
But, I suspect that if someone uttered "Pè Selès la" in front of a congregation while he's praying, it may be because he's certifying in front of everyone that he's praying to "The God of Heavens"
