Konsève / Save
Esplike li / Explain It:
Konsève yon bagay vle di kenbe li pou sèvi pi ta. Pa egzanp, mwen kapab konsève gout lapli nan yon bokit nan lakou mwen. Lè bokit la plen, mwen vide dlo a sou plant mwen yo.
To save something means to keep it for use later. For example, I can save raindrops in a bucket in my yard. When the bucket is full, I pour the water on my plants.
