Actually, I don't like it. It always sounds horrible and done at the weirdest time. Once they find out you're Jamaican the foolishness starts. Like why? Just talk normal and ask questions.
I remember my mom and her friends would use the word warm in a more kinder way, they would say “that person is very warm” meaning they are gentle and kind, but I guess it has change now.
Wish when you guys visit Jamaica you could stay with a family outside the resort area to get the real Jamaican experience. Also, the best Jamaican food can be found in rural areas. For jerk chicken, go to Portland, get a local tour guide to travel Jamaica. Meet many friends and enjoy yourself. I see you guys fitting in just perfectly.
As a Jamaican myself I don't have a problem when people try to talk like is becuase my brother is American and he does it all the time. As long it is done respectfully I don't think anyone would have an issue. If you are genuinely curious it's fine but if you gana try to clown us things can escalate real quick. But most of us love people trying to get with the culture.
Not "Why you pree"😄 it's "Y pree" for asking someone what they're up to now, and "wah yah pree" is basically if someone is being rude or wants to fight you, you're basically like asking if they want smoke, like saying you're not afraid to throw hands too
Big man ting also means a young man who is taking on responsibilities too early for his age that an older or mature man would. For example, when a teenage boy gets a girl pregnant, his family might tell him, "yuh tek up big man tings too soon". Warm also means you're having a tough time. My grandma uses this a lot, "ya have a warm time".
I don't use such words unless I am genuinely surprised by something like recently when I touched the pot handle and it was too hot for my hand i shocked myself when i screamed out because it burned my hand. The Jamaican girl is of Jamaican Chinese descent blasian Jamaican she is pretty, they would call her "Bad Chiney"
Yall always get the Jamaican words/slangs pretty easily and sometimes it sounds so natural. We love when people enjoy our culture, we don't see it as mocking. Bumbocl**t is generally seen as an expletive but its also seen as an exclamation, it all depends on the context and tone. 💛💚🖤
"Zeen" is a distortion of the word "seen". Seen is the slang for 'do you see what I saying 'Seen? "Zimi" Simi -See me , same meaning as Jamaicans tend to speak at a fast pace, oftentimes the pronunciation becomes distorted to the listener, hence,seen becomes zeen and Simi becomes zimi. I hope you get to visit Jamaica, and would invite you to explore the mineral spas there.Jamaica has the numbers one, seven and thirteen ranked spas in terms of the radioactivity of the mineral water in the world.
It's broken English with a few twists! I myself cannot speak patwa but I can understand it, my Jamaican father insisted we spoke the (then) Queen's English when we were children yet my sister can speak patwa but she did spend an awful lot more time with our Jamaican cousins when we were kids where as me and my lil bro were out climbing trees!
@@Carol-FB - Okay what is it then and if it's an actual recognised language do they have lessons aside from RUclipsrs? ETA: I believe it to be broken English as that's what my father believes it to be and as he is a Jamaican himself he should know, and if he is wrong and despite the fact almost every word in the language is actually English in derivation then what is it if not broken English?
@@nemosays6337 it is definitely not broken English. It is its own language. Lexically, it is based on English, and the syntax is similar to some West African languages.
You guys are doing the right thing by relating it all through the way Black Americans speak, rather than thinking about it from the perspective of an “english mind”. Jamaican Creole is more readily translated to African-American Vernacular than it is to english.
Zeen/ seen = ya understand? Feel me? Knowutumsayin’? / It’s said either by itself or at the end of a sentence. Sometimes in the middle just to make sure someone is following along with whatever you’re saying.
BC and RC are not words that any decent woman would use. I have never heard them on the lips of my mother, aunts, sisters or friends or any male in my presence. I would feel highly offended and disrespected if a man used those terms in front of me.
Well there is NO official govt approved standardisation but THERE is the Cassidy/JLU standardised system using the phonetics of the language and used to translate the Bible into patwa/patois
Bomboclat is a curse word. It's in the same category of f...k. it's not a greeting word, so is rass and as a Jamaican if anybody came to me and greeted me like that I would be very upset. Also you can be arrested for using them. Most of the language she used are not the best slangs to use when you go to Jamaican. You don't need to speak patios all Jamaicans speak English. She has given the worst of the patois slang and as a Jamaican I am offended. If visitors come to Jamaica and use those slangs you will offend many people. There are so many nice patois phrases that she could have put out there. SAD😢
😂Lord God is not a name😅 Lord = Ba'al the Possessor God = One that must be invoked Ask the Satanists, they will tell you both are titles of the Satans😊
Jamaicans dont have a problem with anyone mimicking our accent or language once its done respectfully and not in a clowning manner.

@@reeseb.6985what don't you like?
4:09 we are not called Caribbeans there is no such thing we are called West Indain because the collection of islands is as the West Indies
4:15 As said before that's because y'all keep doing the mockery tone that has been popularised by white people in Hollywood

Mom made sure you experience it the right way. 😊 love and positivity
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Yes she did God rest her soul, love you guys. ❤️

We will definitely spend more time off of the resort to soak up the culture.

And “Zeen” is just patois for Seen as in “you understood” or “you copy”
“Zeeenn” got it😀
My bro you got the pree thing %100, and your wife understood the big up yuh self, fast learning nice
Bombo claat is di sweetest badword 😂😂😂

The Lady Understands It Quite Well , Respect!!!
Yes these word come in like a greeting word it can use in so many ways
Zeen is like agreeing to what is being said, like yeah or oh yeah
I love you guys from Durban East coast of South Africa 🔥🔥👍💪🙌✊🙏
Much love!

Bomboclaat is a curse word it’s an expressive word and also in a expressing anger 😡 or just shock 😮it depends on the context in which you use it
It's just like the F word
It's broken English with a few twists!

Its not broken English its a language in itself, do a little research please. If thats the case, Is English broken German?
@@NativeNomad10 - Actually yes English is a germanic language as Patwa is broken English!
@@nemosays6337 it's not broken English

big up
5:33 Child is used the same way so he is right
Your right bumboclatt can be used positivity to express ourselves
Zeen is stylised version of SEEN.
You guys funny

You come from Uptown Jamaica?
That was Beenie Man song😅
The spellings of the words that appeared on the video aren’t exact as Jamaican patois doesn’t have no standard spelling
Well there is NO official govt approved standardisation but THERE is the Cassidy/JLU standardised system using the phonetics of the language and used to translate the Bible into patwa/patois
Boss the real meaning of bumbaclatt means God finish them. Comes from Congo.
Thats beenie man and mya
Nope bumboclaat ain’t a greeting.
At all! Lmaoo
Deh pon ah ends = I’m on a mission/ I’m busy
You have to come to Jamaica and interact with the real people then the language will full easily , it's an inborn thing
Chat bout
11:42 no that's not correct
I dont onw why women always want to take on explaining slangs when they are wack at it. Let the Jamaican men do it🤣
She did good
