My name is Paul and I just recently subscribed to this channel with no regrets. I'm White and I'm pretty sure I live in the whitest state of the US. (I live in Maine.) I have a friend whose father is black and whose mother is white and who's originally from Iowa. (Davenport, to be exact.) When I first met him he was on the clock, waiting on me as a customer and speaking "professional" English. I liked him right off the bat and we soon became friends. He began coming over to visit and he would hang out for hours at a time. (I would enjoy every minute of it.) One thing I noticed was that once we became close friends, his English got "blacker." To me, this was a compliment. It sounded like he was letting me know that he was more comfortable, and I liked that. He's also a good example of somebody who (sometimes) uses (certain) words to mean the opposite of their conventional dictionary meaning. He calls me "bad dog" quite often, and he's not trying to say I'm mean or dangerous. I know it's a sign of close friendship and it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. I enjoy this channel. Keep those videos coming.
This is exactly the same as Jamaican patois they both evolved similarly out of slavery
11:00 Very interesting. Historical context is everything
16:10 Spoken Soul.wow.👍🏾
This video is very good. Another African word that made it's way into everyday American speech is "yum", which is a mispronunciation of the word "nyam" meaning "to eat" in the Wolof language which is spoken in the Niger-Congo area. "Tote" is also believed to have originated in Africa. Tota is used in West Africa and tuta is used in Swahili. Both tota and tuta mean to pick up or carry.
We knew of tote having African origins, but yum is a new one for us. We've noticed a lot of Swahili words, too.
@@lyn1.6 we use nyam in Jamaica to mean eat .
When people want to communicate and explain deeper, more complex thoughts they tend to have to switch to standard English to express those thoughts. So in that way isnt it kind of "basic"
An island smaller than Madagascar dominated the world for this video..
