From Barbados 🇧🇧, let me comment to help get your viewership numbers back up. In Barbados: 1. We don't use "hush" like JAcans. We tilt our heads sympathetically and say in a hurt tone "Cuddear!" Hush in Barbados means, "Shut de hell up!!" 2. We also say rumffled or rumffle-up. If you actually had ironed it and is still is all rumffled, we'll say you "crab-mashed" de shirt. 3. Bajans will say slap, but with an embellishment. We say "gih ya one hard slap." If with a closed fist, we say "cuff ya HARD!!" If it's a real beat down, we'll say, "Ya get catspraddled (wid licks)". 4. Sous-sous in Barbados is a "Meeting turn" and we also use the term "hand" to describe the individual disbursements. 5. A ghost in Barbados is a duppy, like in JA. 6. A horn is a horn in Bim too (but a horn is only a horn eff ya tek it on) 😆 7. We don't say all-ya. We say "wunna" or "enna," somewhat close to the JAcan "uuna." I luv WI bad bad bad.
Blessings as Jamaican living in Trinidad we are the same love Trinidad Trinidad people is the nicest people in the world down to earth people dem big rio Claro
I'm in England The Caribbean community call the saving plan "Pardner". I have a friend who has Afgan/ Pashtu heritage. They also have the exact system/ name. I'm presuming it derived from the Black Caribbean as they arrived in UK first. The various immigrant communities were then closer/ supportive of each other and the system adopted by others?
Thanks Yohan, videos like this help to give a face to cultures and languages that aren’t portrayed by the mainstream media. Here’s my request, for your consideration please. From a non-Jamaican, Non-Trinidadian person’s point of view, what would help greatly is if the word in question appears in print on the screen. This would make the word clear to the Non-Caribbean ear, and serve as a visual reminder of the word, along with its usage. I’ve liked and subscribed, and now I’m hoping you’ll oblige.
@@felixalmeida481 thanks for your feedback and Iwill surely do this. There are others videos on mine that has the text on screen, but this was a "quick" upload. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
I would say the beef pies and chicken pies etc. are different in Trinidad. A Patty is made in a very specific way. where as the pies in Trinidad vaires and the filling are very different. Thanks for watching!
Trinidad; Slap is when you open you hands and spread your fingers to hit someone in the face. Trinidad, Cuff is Box. I cuff him down or Box him down, we use the 2 words in Trinidad but cuff is used more. Boy I will cuff you down. In Trinidad we don't use Slap for Box, you are mistaken about that. Slap is Slap in Trindad. Cuff is Box. In Trinidad we say I will cuff you down or box you down.
Because most of the Caribbean spoke a french patois and has French influence except Jamaica, and a few others. In other word they have a more similar culture than Jamaica.
Yes we say rumple up suh 😂. Hush in a gentle way or hush up or hush yuh mouth. Box u dung 😂😂. (Partner )we call it. Susu that mean u chat too much. We Indians say jumbie. (Spelling )😅. Jamaicans all over Duppy 😂😂😂🙏😂❤️👍
Rumple or rample ,am going to use it in sentences. Look,.You ramble up the place . Or You Rumple the bed up. Meant you went on the bed and came off an don't straighten it out . rample ,you threw things about moved things from where they were
I think u should hush yuh mouth ! on that statement because has u can see im using it for u right now 😂 🇯🇲 and the whole Caribbean use "hush you mouth” or ”hush up" thats British language the the islands are children nations under the monarch but great content over all big up yuh delf Trini everytime #onelove
I agree, i have heard it, but the way Jamaicans just say hush after you tell them something sad is very Jamaican. Thanks for watching and teh extra info!
@@YohanPartapI would love if you could do a video on the difference between Montegonian/Western patois and Kingstonian,Portmore, Spanish town/ Town dialect.
@@Ann-dj3lp Did you watch the video? Have you seen all the other videos I have on Jamaica showing how much I love this island? This is video celebrating our differences in culture and from the other comments, you can see we have a brotherhood in the Caribbean. So what should be leaving alone?
Whoa!!!!!! Who rained on your parade?!!! You did not watch the video. Most of us are here to expand our minds and share and enjoy each other’s culture. Walk on by! If you want to retain a sour, small-minded, outdated attitude don’t stop here.
@@Ann-dj3lp you seem like. A really angry person, I hope you get the help you need. I don't need your approval, my many Jamaican friends plus other comments show me these videos have a positive impact.
@YohanPartap I'm so sorry for my ignorance. I thought it was something like Jankoonu in Jamaica but was incorporated in Carnival in Trinidad. Now I know. 😃 😊
@jamiami3804 What? I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN ST. THOMAS AND KINGSTON AND I HAVE N-E-V-E-R HEARD THAT WORD. IT IS ALWAYS "DUPPY", "GHOST"', OR "SPIRIT." AND yes, I grew up right in front of the National Stadium.
Nutn fr Africa We had different brutal European colonizers slavemasters on all the Caribbean Islands with different races hence our Patwah evolved over time
Jamaica Patwah keeps evolving Jamaica may say U look mudd up😂 ur clothes rumpled up Hence Jamaica Patwah are distinct n unique We created our own culture n language nutn fr Africa 🌍
We didnt create our own language out of nothing, we have a lot of African influences in our language. We also have spanish, English, hinduista, up to hakka chinese influences. We also have many words we innovated.
We also say 'hush yu mouth' in Jamaica as well. Hush can be used both ways.😀j
Yes of ocurse!

Rural Jamaicans say rumpled rumffle
Thanks so much for the info!
As a Jamaican living in Trinidad and Married to a Trinidadian. I was confused at first but I get it now.
I send you some sorrel...must be tired a that mobi
@@dubsounds lol, they have sorrel too but you Jamaican own hot different. I don't like Mauby. I will take some bun and cheese, lol.
Thanks for watching!
I also do not like mauby, its not as popular as it once was, but around Christmas, Sorrel is very popular in Trinidad.
We do not put ginger in Sorrel in Trinidad.
In Jamaica, if a baby is crying, we say hush in a gentle way, or we can also say hush your mouth in a very harsh way
Thanks for watching!
“Hush up!”
vs “Hush little baby…”
Very interesting video. Being Grenadian our words are very similar to Trinidad. 💙
Yes, the Caribbean islands share a lot of similarities.
Good job! Hush has both meanings, which is dependent on context!🇯🇲
Good job keep it up my neighbor great information.
Appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for your observations! Let's have more!
Soon!
Yohan,i find this very interesting and informative.Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
This Jamaican appreciate these videos

Blessings as Jamaican living in Trinidad we are the same love Trinidad Trinidad people is the nicest people in the world down to earth people dem big rio Claro
Rio Claro my home town 🙌🏽 🇹🇹🇨🇦
Lies. Trinis dont like jamaica
@@arlenec7593 Hmm Rio Claro, I went to school there.
Interesting, what made you choose Rio Claro? Some people in Trinidad don't even know where that is.
Thanks for watching!
I'm in England
The Caribbean community call the saving plan "Pardner".
I have a friend who has Afgan/ Pashtu heritage. They also have the exact system/ name. I'm presuming it derived from the Black Caribbean as they arrived in UK first. The various immigrant communities were then closer/ supportive of each other and the system adopted by others?
I would guess so. thanks for watching!
In Barbados 🇧🇧 it’s call a meeting
In Belize we call it sinigate
Hush, don’t cry. Never mind 😊
My ex husband is Trinidaian, we still get along We understand each other! Similar thing almost!
Yes, it is similar!
I'm looking forward to the food one, hope you include callaloo
Coming soon! It will be fruits!
I’m trini and my husband is Jamaican… this callaloo ting is a source of contention between us 😂 He says “ah whey yuh chat bout dat is NOT CALLALOO !”

I enjoyed this. Looking forward to the fruit version..
Coming soon!
Tobagonians actually say box down as well
We do
Good job😮
Thanks!
UNNUH You said it right
Thanks!
We Jamaicans know hush means hush yuh mout, rumpfle is called crush up in Jamaica as well as rumple which is quite similar.😊
Thanks and yes, simailr!
or kiba
In St Kitts 🇰🇳 we call SuSu, Partner Hand
Nice!
Susu in JA means gossip
In patois Su-Su actually means to talk about someone, or spread rumors.
Exactly so in Jamaican Patwa, but Trinidad also have their own Patois
@@cosmicwisdom999 ok, i didnt kno, do they call it patwa as well
In the States shu-shu means the same as su-su in Jamaica
As I mentioned on another comment, it metioned in the Bob Marley song "Who the cap fits"
Patwa or Patois is a genral term but Jamaican Patwa is most famous.
Hush you mouth boy or hush momma baby. Hush in Jamaica can be a scolding or expressing sympathy.
Agreed
Love this 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️
Thanks!
Jamaicans say "hush yuh mouth" too lol
Consoling someone
I am sure they do!
Jamaican also said mash callaloo.
never heard that before but very creative!
Yuh fayva mash Callaloo😂
The name of my country is Trinidad and Tobago boss! Trinbagonians has a Patois as well. Ours is French and Spanish based.
Correect, but most of my expeonce is Trinidad based and we are addressed as Trini by our Caribbean brethen. It the norm.
In jamaica we say tell her in other Caribbean countries they say tell she
Yep, correct!
Depend on where you from in Jamaica, in some places we say "tell him" , with "him" referring to a he or she/him or her
In Jamaica beef patties, chicken patties or cheese patties are what trinis call beef pie, chicken pie or cheese pie
I would say the beef pies and chicken pies etc. are different in Trinidad. A Patty is made in a very specific way. where as the pies in Trinidad vaires and the filling are very different. Thanks for watching!
@@YohanPartapAM surprised you didn't mention bulla.
what happens to Vonnie ghb avent seen her for quite a while
She is back in Trinidad, thanks for notiacing!
In India, For Month's hand we call it as Chitty.
Very interesting!
Unu is the Igbo word for ‘you’- a word from our African ancestors that survived slavery
Great info!
"Unnu" has a West African connection, meaning "all of you"
Great connection!
I understand some word I know " rumple" - crushed, also Pardner , we say Susu which also means to chat about you behind your back!
Thanks fro the info!
Trinidad; Slap is when you open you hands and spread your fingers to hit someone in the face.
Trinidad, Cuff is Box. I cuff him down or Box him down, we use the 2 words in Trinidad but cuff is used more. Boy I will cuff you down. In Trinidad we don't use Slap for Box, you are mistaken about that. Slap is Slap in Trindad. Cuff is Box. In Trinidad we say I will cuff you down or box you down.
Thanks for teh breakdown and for watching!
Ask Maja Hype!
Rural Jamaicans say rumffle or rumple
Interesting!
Which rural Jamaica? Not east rural. In st thomas and Portland we say rinkle/wrinkle or crush up.
Duppy derives from Central Africa Bantu tribe. It’s a Bantu word for spirit or ghost.
The word Unu is from Northern Nigeria 🇳🇬 while other regions might say Una. Both words meaning you all. Jumbie is also a word from Congo Africa.
Thanks so much for the info!!!!
In Barbados 🇧🇧 we’d say wunna
Interesting!
Unu in JA is derived from the Igbo Nigerian language meaning you-all which is close to wunna as well.
In Jamaica, Hush can both mean…”hush mi baby” or “hush yuh mouth”
Thanks!
Damn Trini dem always limin'
Very much so!
In nigeria i think this is called isoosoo. Trinidad soo soo
very interesting!
Back hand slap
Thanks for watching!
We say
Yuh shirt mash up
Thanks for watching!
mash-up mash-up lol
As a child we use to say rumple rumple for crush-up clothes until wexwent to school and they teach us not to speak patois
Similar, and hope we start to appricate patios as somethign to not be ashamed of.
When it comes to the name of Fruits, mostly all the Caribbean Islands have the same names except Jamaica
Interesting!
Because most of the Caribbean spoke a french patois and has French influence except Jamaica, and a few others. In other word they have a more similar culture than Jamaica.
JA was a Spanish colony before the British
Me Trini bredren dem always telling me: Bai do le me koff you"
Yes, we do say kuff
Guyanese say Bai, Trinis say Boi
@@westkingston3135 trinis say bai as well, interchangeably
Yes we say rumple up suh 😂. Hush in a gentle way or hush up or hush yuh mouth. Box u dung 😂😂. (Partner )we call it. Susu that mean u chat too much. We Indians say jumbie. (Spelling )😅. Jamaicans all over Duppy 😂😂😂🙏😂❤️👍
Thanks for watching!
In Antigua and Barbuda pardner/partner is called BOX😊
oh nice!
The concept of Jumbie is West African
Thanks for the info!
I think the title should "Same meaning, different words"
@@cyprus8446 I think you are correct
In Belize we say your clothes mash up.
NIce!
Same as JA
What we call buns in trinidad, Jamaicans call bulla. While for trinis a bulla is not edible at all lol
I am aware if this one but did not include intentionally.
@@YohanPartap yes I understand. Even I had to use discretion in how I said it.
There is Bun and Bulla as in food. Phase" him a get bun" is another saying describing something else.
Does Trinidad tell anancy stories
Yes! our school books when we where young had Anancy stories! not sure if it is still there.
@@YohanPartapwow, who would have thought.
"Box your ear" specifically.
Striking the ear with a cupped palm. Not very pleasant.
not pleasant at all, thanks for watching!
@@YohanPartapIs it true that some Trinis speak a French creole similar to Guadalupians.?
susu in Jamaica means you talk too much
Like teh Bob Marley song!
It's the sound you make when gossiping in a whisper.
Rumple or rample ,am going to use it in sentences. Look,.You ramble up the place . Or You Rumple the bed up. Meant you went on the bed and came off an don't straighten it out . rample ,you threw things about moved things from where they were

@@YohanPartapSo true.
@@YohanPartapI would love if you could do a video on the difference between Montegonian/Western patois and Kingstonian,Portmore, Spanish town/ Town dialect.
-so fyi, horner man in Jamaica is “Joe Grine”
-Unu. is an African word
- In JA hush yuh mouth=shut up hush=there there, nevermind
Thanks!
Did you say 'horn' for 'bun'?
Yes, horn means cheating in Trinidad and Tobago
@@annesayoung5425 I'm learning. Thanks.
@@mdl9096thought he said hand.lol
@@westkingston3135😅 We are learning.

Trinidad is not a real place

How can you friend someone when your destroying them, go talk to your own people . For you set of people are racist you just pretend
I thought jumbie was some kind of dance in Trinidad carnivals. 😊
Lol
@YohanPartap I'm so sorry for my ignorance. I thought it was something like Jankoonu in Jamaica but was incorporated in Carnival in Trinidad. Now I know. 😃 😊
@@mdl9096 no worries at all, Trinidad has many cultural influences and I am sure there might be a dance that has a similar name.
Lots of Jamaican call duppy jumbie. Portland, St Mary, Kingston and St Andrew.
@jamiami3804 What? I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN ST. THOMAS AND KINGSTON AND I HAVE N-E-V-E-R HEARD THAT WORD. IT IS ALWAYS "DUPPY", "GHOST"', OR "SPIRIT." AND yes, I grew up right in front of the National Stadium.
Nutn fr Africa
We had different brutal European colonizers slavemasters on all the Caribbean Islands with different races hence our Patwah evolved over time
Yes, each island has its history of colonization that influenced the culture of each. And you are correct, it was brutal.
Jamaica Patwah keeps evolving
Jamaica may say
U look mudd up😂 ur clothes rumpled up
Hence Jamaica Patwah are distinct n unique
We created our own culture n language nutn fr Africa 🌍
Language is living and alwayts changing!
We didnt create our own language out of nothing, we have a lot of African influences in our language. We also have spanish, English, hinduista, up to hakka chinese influences. We also have many words we innovated.
