Mèsi anpil wi :)

Si ou ka tradwi: Kò imen: esplike fenomèn kwasans lakay moun. Human body: explain the phenomenon of human growth? What is "lakay" doing there?

Kò imen (from French corps humain) → human body
In Creole sometimes, you will also see imèn which also comes from the French humaine which itself is the feminine of French word humain.

lakay, in Creole, does not only mean house or home; it also means deep within ourselves or within

You will hear Creole speakers say:
Li gen yon gwo defo lakay li.
He has a big fault/vice in him.

You will often hear preachers say:
Fòk nou retire vye abitid sa yo lakay nou.
You must remove these bad habits from within yourselves.

Or you might hear:
Ou gen twòp rankin lakay ou.
You have too much resentment within yourself.
You are very resentful.

SO,
kwasans lakay moun
maturation within people.
growth within the human body.

Regarding previous post about "lavichè", is there another way to say "hardship"?

hardship (as in poverty?) → povrete, lavi di, zafè pa bon, boukannen dlo, bat dlo pou fè bè

We fell into hardship. (Is that correct in English :-\ ?)
Nou te tonbe nan povrete.
Nou te tonbe nan boukannen dlo.
Nou te tonbe nan lavi di.
Nou te tonbe nan zafè pa bon.
etc...


hardship (as in distress, suffering, trials) → zeprèv, difikilte, peripesi, tribilasyon, tray, traka

We will get through the hardships and trials in our lives.
Nou va andire difikilte ak zeprèv yo nan lavi nou.
Haitian Creole ↔ English Reference, Look up Haitian Creole and English Words

Kisa vle di 'lavichè'? Li pral bat grangu epi lavichè.

lavichè (lavi chè), literally means life expensive
If it is one word, lavichè, it means hardship, hard times, suffering,  inflation, bad economic times
If it is two words, lavi chè, then it is a sentence, Life is expensive.

These are the two translations that might work based on what you have:

as one word:
Li pral bat grangou epi lavichè. (Could it be: Li pral bat grangou ak lavichè?)
He / She will endure famine and bad economic times.

as two words:
Li pral pat grangou epi lavi chè.
He/she will brave hunger, and life is expensive.
