Hello, I just have to say that I really like your site, it is very helpful. Thank you very much! My question for today is: In your list of Direction you forgot one preposition which I think is very important. The word for under, like “under the traffic light” for instance, could you please add it in if you think it will make lots of sense for students whose learning how to ask and to give direction? Once again, thank you very much for the site! Super Job! Bonn jounen!
Mèsi anpil :)
I will add it.

What's the difference between 'FENNEN' and 'BLAZE'. Should I say "Li tankou yon fle ki fin blaze" or "li toukou yon fle ki fin fennen"? mesi anpil anpil :)
fennen - wilted, faded, which has lost its color
fennen - depressed-looking
Figi l fennen - She is looking sad.
blaze - which has lost its color, which has faded, which has become dull
The better choice would be the second sentence: "He/She is like a wilted flower"

Ki sa mo-a 'kontman' vle di nan fraz sa a "Moun La Plata yo montre kijan yo pa kontman ak repons gouvènman an"
Looks like a typo.
It looks like they ere trying to write "kontan (happy)", or " kontantman (happiness)"
I think they were trying to say:
"Moun La Plata yo montre kijan yo pa kontan ak repons gouvènman an"
"Moun La Plata yo montre kijan yo pa gen kontantman ak repons gouvènman an"
"The people from La Plata showed how unsatisfied they were with the government's response."
