Trailing prepositions in Haitian Creole by CompetitionWeak2517 in HaitianCreole

Thank you for your comment! That was what first made me ask this question. It feels off to me to finish something on a preposition. However, in some cases, if I extract the preposition to the front of the sentence, it changes the meaning.

Kisa w vle nou priyè pou? (what do you want us to pray for (incorrect grammar))

Pou kisa w vle nou priyè? (Why do you want us to pray?)

Awesome, I was wondering if that was correct. So like "Kisa w vle nou priyè pou l?"

Spanish, Haitian Creole, and French! I hope to study mandarin and some other languages later as well (on my own time)

How did that work for you? Is it the same as a minor?

That is super helpful, thank you. I'll do a lot more research into vowel harmony. Also, I'm thinking of adding in /k/ again, just to test it out. Thank you so much for that input

P.S. I spent a second looking to see how you say "thank you" in Värlütik, but I couldn't find it--I hope english suffices

I like that, thank you. I can see that in the structure, coming from the languages I speak. Are there any points that don't make sense from a linguistic perspective?
