This is a new Channel. This Channel was created to help individuals world wide who may have a simple interest in the Jamaican Creole/Patwah. This Channel will be geared towards the basics of the Jamaican creole and strategies how to become good at speaking it; this enables you to effectively communicate with Jamaicans when you visit the island or when come in contact with a Jamaican anywhere in the world. "On a quick note", don't be selfish ***Remeber to share with friends***
This video/series would have saved me from being a typical white tourist, was always too afraid to speak up or say hi to people. I hope I can go back and be able to talk to people more
A useful phrase for the visiting cannabis enthusiasts would be "if it no nuff, me no wanti!" I was given this advice, and can say that it had immediate effects. ❤😂
Almost all of these, or most of them, are identical to the Krio we speak in Sierra Leone - at least the first three examples given here. My Love it, still
I'm UK born and raised of Clarendon born parents. Patois literally is my mother language, but having never grown up nor lived on the island there are some things I miss like: - ' Yuh Zimi', I thought it was 'Yuh see mi' - Still meaning of course if you understand me. 'Run a boat' - is something I have NEVER heard before. People should understand that all langauages change over a period of time. The Patois I grew up with in England was the version from the 1950s and 1960s. My parents came to England as part of the Windrush generation. I hold Jamaican Patois close to me because despite never growing up in Jamaica, Patois actually defines me as a Jamaican. Even more so, these past years because I now live in the Netherlands where there are very few people who actually speak Patois. Nice video!!
No, deh deh is Jamaican patois and it's not used in most anglophone Caribbean. In fact this is one of the rules of Jamaican Patois language to repeat words. Maybe the word deh is from west Africa but not deh deh.
“Deh deh” is commonly used in Guyana. A Guyanese lady has created several videos on African-derived words used in the Caribbean. Deh deh and jumbie are among those words
Bringle means to get too informal or pass your place, in ither words rude. In some instances, it can mean a mixture of color when addressing an animal looks.
