Lide “pèdi figi” se pa menm bagay la tou nan Amerik lan. Tradiksyon an pou “pèdi figi” ta “anbarase,” sa pipiti grav. Ameriken yo ka pale si yo te kritike oswa fè yon erè, pa ekzanp. Se konsa Ameriken yo ka montre erè oubyen kritike ou, senpleman l' li kòm yon koreksyon oswa yon enfòmasyon ki ka itil.

The idea of “losing face” is not the same in America. The translation for “losing face” would be “embarrassed,” which is less serious. Americans may be embarrassed if they are criticized or make a mistake, for example. So Americans may point out mistakes or criticize you, simply intending it as a correction or useful information.
