So why the doubling? The doubling up of Jamaican patois is a carryover from Africa. For example ( Igbo): O na-ewe iwe = He is vexing vex O di mmiri mmiri = It is watery watery O n-ato nnu nnu = It is tasting salty salty
Yes. Plakka plakka would fall into category #1. Set double phrases. I have never heard a sentence with just ‘plakka’. It’s always doubled. Thanks for watching. 😊

Dat bwoy deh a fool fool - He is being foolish.
I would say that 'fool' is stupid. "Fool-fool" would probably be foolish. At the end of the day it means the same thing, as in less than smart. Lol
