The culture of Trinidad and Tobago is beautifully varied. With so many different peoples settling on the islands I've decided to celebrate our multiculturism by using popular local words to display our diversity.
I hope you enjoy.
The French influence on Trinidad's culture is everywhere, just look at our major national festival Carnival. But today we look at some Patois words still used today (however infrequently).

I love learning of similarities in cultures. It's always nice to be reminded that the world has been sharing different aspects of culture with each other fo as long as people have been migrating to different lands. The history that it reminds me of is not exactly joyous but we can still appreciate that it binds us. Haiti paved the way for our freedom and for that, your country will always have my respect.
