I have a few sentences i want you to look at: 1. You're trying to SABOTAGE my relationship with girlfriend. 2)The Bible says a wife has to be SUBMISSIVE to her hersband. 3) You're so pathetic. 4) That's HILARIOUS. What do you think about these senteces?

Some of these vocabulary words (and the other ones you had sent me  from this group of words) may have a different Creole translation depending on the sentence.  And in #2, the Creole translation calls for verb rather than an adjective.

I think I would have preferred to see you put these sentences in Creole.  It would have been fun to read them :)

Kenbe la, zanmi.

1. You're trying to SABOTAGE my relationship with my girlfriend.
     W'ap eseye KRAZE relasyon mwen genyen ak menaj mwen.


2. The Bible says a wife has to be SUBMISSIVE to her husband
     Bib la di "Yon madanm dwe SOUMÈT bay mari li."
