Question 40

how to emphasize possession

Answer 40

Insert pa before the usual pronoun. Also, note that mwen, ou and li can be contracted with the pa like they are with bay and avek.

pa mwen - pa 'm - mine
pa ou - pa 'w - yours
pa li - pa 'l - his, hers, its
pa nou - ours, yours (plural)
pa yo - theirs

Question 41

Future tense (ie will do or going to do)

Answer 41

Place pral directly before the verb to make it future tense.

I will lie down - mwen pral kouche
they will wait - yo pral tann
he will finish - li pral fini
you’re going to swim - ou pral naje

Pral and Ale are contracted into PRALE to mean will go.
