Kriol Kwiz: baitim

Iya ba didei Kriol Kwesjin / Here's today's Kriol Kwis:



Yumob bin ol pudum raitwan ensa: baitim min 'bite'. Gudwan! Bla detlot najawan ensa...

Ba 'bait', mela raidim beit. Bla 'buy', yu garra tok baiyim. En 'tease', im tisim. 

Wen yu luk det -im ending la beb, mela tok in trensitib beb - im weya yu dum samting la natha ting o pesin.

Dijan bin tu isi ba yumob maidi! Ai garra trai meigi det nekswan mowa hadwan...
Everyone got it right: baitim means 'bite'. Well done! Regarding the other answers...

For 'bait', you right it like this: beit. For 'buy', you use the verb baiyim. And 'tease' is tisim. 

Anytime you see the -im ending on a verb, it's known as a transitive verb - it's when the action involves someone/something doing something to someone/something.

I think this one was a little easy! I'll try to make the next one harder...

Kriol Kwiz: Ai bin gu

Iya ba didei Kriol Kwesjin / Here's today's Kriol Kwis:

Detmob hu bin pudum ai bin gu bin rait. Bla detlot najawan ensa...

Went im nomo enijing la Kriol.

Mi bin gu im saun fani du. Yu kaan pudum mi en bin tugetha lagijat.

En natha ting... det lil sentens, ai bin gu, im mowa ba Ropamob ba tok lagijat. Najamob from Beswik en Barangga, alabat tok ai bin go (go, nomo gu).
The people who said ai bin gu were right. Regarding the other answers...

Went is not a Kriol word.

Mi bin gu also sounds odd. You can't put mi and bin together like that.

And another point of note... that little sentence, ai bin gu, it leans towards the Roper dialect of Kriol. People from Barunga and Beswick say, ai bin go (with go, not gu).
