How do you say... in English?

I was playing a little Italian game on my computer to get ready for my Christmas trip. The Italian word pops up and I have to quickly type in the English word. Well, I knew this answer. So I typed it. Wrong. I couldn't believe it. I tried again. And then I realized that I was thinking in Creole. I could not for the life of me think of the English word. For a few minutes I wracked my brain. I even touched the item! Still, no luck. It came to me later: curtains.

Italian: tenda
Creole: rido
