mandalay, how would you translate 'Kiles kanto?'

Do you mean Kilès k'an tò?
Without the necessary accent marks, it would have been hard to figure this out.


Kilès k'an tò? (contracted)
Kilès ki an tò? (non contracted)
Who's at fault?
Whose fault is it?
Who's wrong?


tò (n.) → fault
an tò (adv.) → at fault, in the wrong
gen tò → to be wrong, to be at fault


Se li ki gen tò.
It's him/her that's wrong.
It's his/her fault.


Se pa mwen ki an tò.
I am not at fault

Fòk gen maladi pou gen lanmò.?

I would have to disagree with this proverb.
It is not true in life at all.
If it's not true in life, what purpose does it serve as a proverb?
Sickness does not always precede death.

Would you use LAGE or LACHE for the verb 'release' in "Release the dog."?

In this sentence I would use lage.
lage - let go, free, release, untie, quit, abandon
lache - loosen, relax

Wish to learn Creole. English native language. Speak some Spanish & French. Best way to start?

Are you just starting?

Take an class.
Haitihub.com and Creoleclasses.com have some great online classes.
Gather a group of Creole speaking friends so you'll have a lot of chances to practice the language.
Listen to Creole radio programs.
Read books written in Creole.
And don't give up.

You'll speak Creole in absolutely no time at all with your French and Spanish background.

Bòn chans :)

is there a translation of Ti Manno's song Neg Kont Neg? what does neg kont neg mean ?

Gee!  How did you find that old song?
Nèg kont Nèg (man against man), as the song explains it, is about black man against black man, inferiority complex, and self-deprecation.  The song especially targets Haitians.
I can tell you right now, the accusations in this ten-minute song are false and unfounded.  As a Haitian, I think Ti Manno, rest his soul, had some serious problems with his own race.
This is not the only song he wrote that belittles the Haitian people.
I remember some time in the mid-1980s, he was stoned and booted off stage by a Creole-speaking crowd.
They should have bury this song along with Ti Manno.

I'm not sure if you'll find the English translation to this song anywhere online.  I'll keep you posted :)

Could you use 'tande' for both verbs HEAR and OVERHEAR?

Yes.

I overheard them talking.
Mwen te tande y'ap pale.

name (in Creole)

name (n.) → non
name, nominate (v.) → nonmen, rele


What's your name?
Ki non ou?
and of course:
Kouman w rele?


That's my name.
Se non mwen.


What do you call it?
Kouman ou nonmen li?
Kouman ou rele li?

"Practice makes perfect" Do you have an idiom along that line?

I can think of two:
Fò w konn la pou al la.
Si w pa pase maladi, ou pa p konn renmèd.

i just can't win

i just can't win...

Mwen jis pa kab genyen...

What is 'make' as a verb in Creole? (Li te koumanse make m.)

make ( pronounced ma-kay) - to mark, to aim at, to target, to focus on.

He/She was targeting me.

fèk kare?

fèk kare is used to emphasize that an action which has started will continue for an indefinite period of time. 
We say fèk kare, fenk kare, or fèk koumanse
It's equivalent to This is just the beginning.


Nou fèk kare goumen.
Our fight has only begun.


Ou fèk kare gen pwoblèm.
Your problems have only begun.


Si n'ap tann moun ede nou, nou fèk kare ap tann.
If you're waiting for someone to help you, your wait has just begun.

How do you say small, medium, large?

small, medium, large
piti, mwayen, gran

Why are there so many different spelling for just one word in Creole. Ex: jouk, joustan, jis, jistan, jouska ... just to say ... until. Can somebody make up their mind?

I guess the name CREOLE says it all.
And sometimes the spelling in the new orthographe may be different from the old.

What is the "a" in "ti cheri a"?
