marche means Walk how do you say cheap is it mache?

Maché pronounced (mah /shay) means "To walk."

In order to translate the adjective cheap, we say bonmaché (bon /mah/shay)

Bannan té bonmaché jòdi-a. - Plantains were cheap today.


The word bonmaché is derived from French [bon marché] which also means cheap or inexpensive.

Note: French [bon marché] literally means "good market"
The Creole word for market is laplas which is pronounced (lah /plahs)
