📋10 vèb ak patikil ou pral tande chak jou

Vèb ak patikil — yon vèb plis yon ti mo tankou up, out oswa on — nan tout angle pale a. Sans lan souvan pa gen rapò ak mo yo pran apa, e se egzakteman sa ki dekonsète. Kreyòl la prèske pa gen anyen konparab : kote li itilize yon sèl vèb (abandone, ranvwaye, kontre pa aza), angle òdinè souvan prefere yon vèb ak patikil. Men dis vèb ou pral tande tout tan.

1. Give up

Sans : sispann eseye, abandone.

He tried to learn guitar but gave up after a month. · She gave up smoking last year.

2. Look forward to

Sans : atann yon bagay ak enpasyans. Toujou swiv pa yon non oswa yon fòm an -ing.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend. · I look forward to hearing from you. (fòmil abitiyèl pou fini yon imèl — remake : hearing, pa hear ; kreyòl la di « mwen ap tann pou m tande de ou » ak yon vèb ki pa chanje, sa ki pouse ou di to hear pa erè)

3. Run into

Sans : rankontre yon moun pa aza.

I ran into my old teacher at the supermarket yesterday.

4. Put off

Sans : repouse, ranvwaye.

Stop putting off your homework — start now. · The meeting's been put off until Friday.

5. Figure out

Sans : konprann oswa rezoud yon bagay lè ou reflechi sou li.

It took me a while to figure out how the coffee machine works.

6. Come across

Sans : tonbe sou yon bagay pa aza, san ou pa t ap chèche l.

I came across an old photo while cleaning my room.

7. Turn down

Sans : refize yon pwopozisyon oswa yon envitasyon.

She turned down the job offer because the salary was too low.

Li gen yon sans literal tou : Could you turn down the music? (bese volim nan)

8. Bring up

Sans : abòde yon sijè nan yon konvèsasyon.

I didn't want to bring up the accident, so I changed the subject.

9. Get along with

Sans : antann ou byen ak yon moun.

I get along with all of my coworkers.

10. Get over

Sans : refè apre yon bagay difisil — yon maladi, yon move nouvèl, yon separasyon.

It took her a few weeks to get over the flu.

Kote konplemen an ale ?

Se egzakteman sa ki mwens eksplike, e se de sa jistès fraz la depann.

Separab yo — non an ka ale de bò, men pwonon an dwe mete nan mitan :

• ✅ Turn down the offer. / Turn the offer down. / Turn it down.
• ❌ Turn down it.

Separab nan lis sa a : give up, put off, turn down, bring up.

Inseparab — de mo yo pa janm separe :

• ✅ I ran into her. · ❌ I ran her into.

Inseparab isit la : run into, come across, get along with, get over, look forward to.

Tès pwonon an rezoud tout. Di fraz la ak it oswa them. Si turn it down sonnen byen, vèb la separab. Si sèlman ran into her mache, li pa separab. Pa bezwen memorize lis, ou jis bezwen eseye ak yon pwonon.

Patikil yo swiv modèl

Ti mo a pa chwazi pa aza. Si ou repere modèl sa yo, li pral pi fasil pou devine nouvo vèb ak patikil :

Patikil	Souvan vle di	Egzanp
up	fini, mennen jiska bout	eat up, finish up, use up
out	dekouvri oswa elimine	find out, figure out, throw out
off	anile, separe	put off, call off, take off
on	kontinye	carry on, go on, hold on
down	redwi, note	turn down, cut down, write down

Se yon endis, se pa yon règ : give up pa vle di « fini bay ». Men sa mache ase souvan pou nou kenbe l nan tèt nou.

Poukisa kòmanse egzakteman ak sa yo

Remake pa gen okenn ki ra ni literè — tout vini tout tan nan konvèsasyon chak jou, nan mesaj enfòmèl ak nan seri televizyon. Aprann byen dis vèb ak patikil ki souvan vo plis pase memorize san ou pa janm bezwen.

Gen kesyon rejis la tou : vèb ak patikil la souvan se chwa familye a, e ekivalan li ki fèt ak yon sèl mo se chwa fòmèl la. Put off / postpone, find out / discover, turn down / decline, bring up / raise. Ekivalan latin sa yo souvan sanble ak mo kreyòl ki soti nan fransè (dekouvri, abandone, refize), e moun ki pale kreyòl gen tandans chwazi yo pa refleks. Nan yon imèl bay yon kolèg, vèb ak patikil la konvni ; nan yon rapò ofisyèl, nou souvan prefere sèl mo a.

Yon rankont pa aza

A : I ran into Dana this morning.

B : Really? I haven't seen her since she gave up teaching.

A : She's fine. She brought up the reunion, actually — it's been put off again.

B : Again? I was looking forward to that.

Senk sou dis, nan yon konvèsasyon pesonn p ap jwenn dwòl.
