1) Nèg sa a se yon ajitatè / Li se yon ajitatè.
2) Nèg sa a se yon degoutan / LI se yon degoutan.

NB. Translation (2) has a more general and less violent connotation than the precedent. The term used in definition (1) denotes the idea of violence as related to some sort of political connotation. Among other synonyms of the same context would be: Fotèdetwoub; akochay (akwochay); tètchaje; deblozay; tchòbòlmekè (creolized form of troublemaker known as the most recent colloquialism in HC).
