Does 'Lestomak' Really Mean Chest?
Yes! The Haitian Creole word lestomak often means chest, not just the stomach of your belly.
An effective way to get around this is by only using the word vant when referring to your belly.
Something else you can do is referring to chest as pwatrin in Haitian Creole.
However, natives are very familiar with the term lestomak for the the chest. Therefore, to the extent possible, use it instead.
