Hi, my daughter Krissy, whose video you reacted to, sent me your video. I loved it, guys you are hilarious. Looking forward for your reaction to more of her videos 😂
💯We have regional accents like in the US, so sometimes certain words mean different things depending on what parish you're from, or we may use different words altogether. The person in this video sounds like they have a Kingstonian accent, which is slower and has a drawl whereas where I'm from, Hanover/ Westmoreland we speak faster, deeper rural patwa.
@@reeseb.6985 I would think you’d have to speak slower if you’re trying to teach a language. Over time as ppl become proficient in a language, they speak it gradually faster.
I never really realized Jamaican Patois was its own language, cuz my mom is Jamaican and speaks it with family. I always just understood it. But when I noticed my dad doesn’t understand it, nor any other non Jamaicans, and that I could not speak it, even though I understand it. It dawned on me, this is its own language!
Not really, it’s dialect, if you even sat and listen to people in Newcastle U.K. speak you will not understand them and this from someone who lives in U.K. .
@@enosger Um no. It is an English lexified Creole language recognized by linguists locally and internationally. It also has spin offs in English based Creoles in Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, San Andres Island and a partial spin off in Krio from Sierra Leone. So yh a non language doesn't have dialects. The language is made up of English, Spanish, Portuguese, Taino, West African languages inclusive of Akan, Igbo and West African grammatical structure.
you can't use Brawta the way use it... it really means "getting more than you expect to get (extra)" it is always used in a context where you receive something, whether purchased or as a gift
Unnu ketch on faas mi fambilee! (Yall caught on fast my family!) Yall really had a whole conversation in patois🤣But these were easy, each parish has variations too and some deep rural areas that even I dont completely understand. We dont really use Ben by itself, its a phrase "Mi ben up" (I am hurting or I am upset about something), it literally translates to "I am bent up". Please lowe our Honourary Jamaican couple alone in the comments💛💚🖤🤣
The patois is a language all by itself and it's very diverse and have different variations because when i go to rural areas i have to ask them to repeat all 3 times before i can understand what they are saying but we also speak english. I mostly speak in standard english because in my high school we weren't suppose to speak patois so it's kinda natural for me to speak standard english and then every now and then the patois chip in....very diverse language with different variations. Y'all did well but the brawta cannot be used to describe people it just means an extra amount. So if you went to buy 5 pounds of chicken and they gave you and 6 pounds for the same price they gave you brawta (extra). Love from Jamaica ❤
Some of this are not well explained Zeen - is Skeen for older people - comes from “Seen” ie “I see” or “for real” My Yute - yute comes from Youth - ie my child. You wouldn't call a person older than you “my yute” ... 😅 Be careful out there
No it doesn’t it’s short dialect for you know what I’m saying, (shortened to sayin’ which is pronounced seen), e.g, taxi man im’ tek a lang way im’ gwine mek me late, seen.
You guys are hilarious! I love it!! 😂 thank you so much for reacting to my video ❤🇯🇲
You’re welcome! Thanks for teaching us!

Thank you so much, Ms. Maureen. 😁
Krissy explores !! 🙏🏽😂
Patois is spoken differently across the island, so how you learn patois depends on who talk to and also depends on where they are from.

Love you guys LOL
We use all of these in the UK haha. Wether you white Asian African carribean or Arab we all use these terms ❤😂
I wish more people would realise it's all Jamaican slang
Brawta - means you get extra , so when we buy mangoes we would ask for an extra one or two for free so we call it Brawta
Please visit Jamaica you will fulljoy it more
Most persons don't like to be call fat , so we call them fluffy, it has charm to it when you say fluffy
