What is the difference in using "isit" or "la" when meaning here? James

isi, isi a, isit, isit la, they all translate here

I have seen several Haitian men who have very long pinkie finger fingernails and was wondering if this has any significance or meaning in Haiti? I asked one of them and he was very vague in his answer.

Yeah, most of the Haitian men in my family (on my dad side especially) do wear their fingernail pinky up to half of a cm long :)  .. and my husband too.  I think it's an image choice.  Some people will tell you that it's a great tool for scratching their nares and ear canals, lol!  But they do take great care of keeping it healthy, long and strong.  Also, it is not uncommon for Haitians men to wear clear nail polish on their nails (their toes especially).

Madanm, ki jan ou konnen an Kreyol ki le sevi ak "anpil" anvan oswa apre yon mo? Egzanp: "Gazolin la che anpil." oubyen, "Mete anpil gazolin." Ki gen reg sou sa a? Tanpri reponn nan lang angle silvouple. Mesi anpil.

Ou mande mwen kesyon an an Kreyòl. Mwen ta renmen reponn li an Kreyòl.
Mwen sèten ou va konprann sa mwen di.
Si ou pa konprann kite m konnen :)

1.
anpil se yo adjektif, pwonon, oubyen yon "determiner" lè ou plase li devan yon non.  Li vle di many, a lot of.

pa egzanp:
anpil moun
a lot of people

Genyen anpil bèl kay nan zòn sa a.
There are many beautiful houses in this area.

2.
anpil se yon advèb lè ou plase li dèyè yon vèb oubyen dèyè yon adjektif
pa egzanp:
Mwen renmen w anpil.
I like you a lot.

Li kontan anpil.
She 's very happy.
