Where does the famous insulting Jamaican patois word "Bombo Clat" come from? The word is actually "Bombo Cloth". Bombo or Bommo is an ancient Akan manufactured cloth. The Akans are from modern day Ghana and Ivory Coast. The thick strips of this cloth were used by women as underwear and menstrual pads, tucked between a bunch of waist beads with the extra hanging in the front and back. People in Africa used to compare stupid people to these menstrual cloth and so it was carried over to Jamaica 🇯🇲 as a word of insult. The Akan word for underwear is Amoasie but the cloth used mostly by women for underwear in the olden days was Bombo or Bommo Cloth.
Bumba clot

How do you say queen and princess in patwa?
Those are the same in Jamaican, also pronounced the same.
Just to clarify queen is queen? Princess is princess?
@@ShansPatwaAcademy So just to clarify..queen is queen? Princess is princess?
Yes. Princess is always princess. Sometimes Queen can be changed to Queenie/ Queeny. So you will hear a lot of people with the nickname “Queenie”.
@@ShansPatwaAcademy Thank you
I just be be coming for the spelling I can speak patois, mother & father is Jamaican
How do jamaicans call their twins and orther family members pliz
For twins, some people say "twinny". I will do a family members video at some point in the future.
Crucus bag a problems..

Did you kno that jamm comes from the fulani language? It means peace…mba da?how are you? Answer= jamm tann….I’m good,I’m @/in peace or all good!!
I didn't know this but this is interesting. Thank you
@@ShansPatwaAcademy 👍🏿 it’s important to be here/live on the continent,learn some languages,that’s where we really start to be woke!
Some of the phrases are still mixed with English. Like the word so should be suh. #Good video nonetheless.
Yuhself and unoself/unuself what’s the difference.
Latter is plural, that's all.
I love you Jamaican !
da room yah chaka chaka bad inoh a who live dung in yah? cow?unu haffi tek care a unnu room inoh man cho!🤣
a how dis yah one yah sound?a gwaan it can gwaan?
"in yah" would be more natural than "dung in yah", but everything else is perfect! Big up yuhself!
How do say I am sorry to family when a Jamaican friend dies?
Honestly, In some cases, especially serious cases, I use English. So I would say, sorry for you loss, or my condolence or something like that. If I am speaking with someone that I am very close with and we are both speaking in the Jamaican language we might say things like "Jah know star, mi kyaa believe seh just gone so" or "di ting set a way..." or something like that. But it depends on your relationship with the person. If you are not close it might be better to just stick to the tried and true "I'm sorry for your loss/ My condolence"
@@ShansPatwaAcademy Thank you for the advice and information.
@@lulibella3Some people will also say "Life's journey". I guess it means "it is what it is". But might be rude if speaking to a Christian or Christian minded person as I usually hear Rastafari or Rasta minded people use it.
Wahwagan
Chaka chaka in Akan language means nasty, disgusting, soiled.
Jamaicans never wear a face diaper, breathe the air Ja provides!
To many dialects to put in one video. Much like England. We know what you're trying to convey, though.
Thanks.
So, it wouldn't be offensive if a white person wanted to learn Patois?
This isn't America 😂
Mon is way better than man.
Man is plain English
We don't say "mon", though. It's like "man" but slightly different.
Never used that phrase one next time here, never heard that!
What the heck is zeen and Jamrock ? I guess I am from another era in Jamaica!
I first heard Jamrock in the show Top Boy.
You mussi come from Jamaica pan Pluto😂
