Any clues as to how this differs form English 'until'
Hi Jane,
Ai nomo rili sho, bat maitbi yu yusum 'until' mo la Ingglish. Mela tok 'raitap' lorra taims la Kriol wen munanga tok 'until'. Laik, mela sei 'det shop im opin raitap 5' weya munanga garra yusu det wed 'until' en sei 'the shop is open until 5'. Lagijat.
I'm not too sure, but I think 'until' is used more frequently in English. In Kriol, we often say 'raitap' when you'd say 'until' in English. For instance, in Kriol you'd say 'det shop im opin raitap 5', whereas English speakers would use the word 'until' and say 'the shop is open until 5'. That sort of thing...
