I enjoyed these videos. I've heard them all, and still use quite a few. Here are some more: 1. Monkey doh see he own tail. 2. Who doh hear does feel. 3. Playing dead tuh ketch corbeau alive. 4. If yuh cyar get mammy take granny. 5. Doh rush de brush, yuh go get dab.
@@YohanPartap i don't know if all Trinidadians talk fast but i do know i and my sister carry on a conversation back in the 70s we spoke very fast when i am overwhelm with excitement i like rapid rail.
I knew i was young when i left Trinidad but i honestly have never heard none of these slangs before even in your part 1 video, even my old friends and some relatives that live in Trinidad I've never heard them use these sayings, to weird for me, but i enjoyed the video everyone i suppose perhaps in there family use some kind of slangs..
You will heard most light the older folks using some, made these videos as sort of a way to preserve them as they are not really in use anymore. Thanks for watching!
Number 6 (COMMON SENSE BEFORE BOOK SENSE) reminds me of the Wife of Bath (Chaucer) when she starts her Prologue with the words "Experience, though noon auctorietee......." (Experience although not Textual Authority) Punching out her theme from the very first go! In other words, athough other (pilgrims) speak of their causes by using their education, she believes her ways have more truth by what she has learned in her lifetime.
Wow the similarities. 😂😂😂 In Jamaica we say "What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly," "cockroach no business inna fowl fight" and "what is joke to you is death to me". We say tief from tief and the old broom one too.
Thank you for the video. My grandfather is Trinidadian and often says some irritated exclamation that sounds like "ah beg ah soy mey wee." He refuses to explain it and no one else in the family can provide a translation. Do you have any clue what he might be talking about?
Hi, Thanks for watching! I have not heard that one before, because of the "wee" i think it might be french creole that used to be spoken in Trinidad but it sadly dying out, i will try to research it to find the meaning.
I was hired out of Trinidad to relocate to Jamaica to lead team of graphic designers. After about 6 years there there was a need for a similar role in the same company in their Tunisia location. So i relocated there.
@@YohanPartap I didn't think it was that bad. I recommend maybe reducing the volume by 5-10% on the main speaking parts and a tad higher on your intro or even your transitions
I still use some of these sayings when speaking to fellow Trinis and also to my foreign friends. I have to explain the meanings to the latter and they find it very hilarious.
BRILL,BRILL,BRILL, Thank u for enlightening ME.!!!❤
Thanks!
Am i the only one who thinks explaining our slang is hilarious🤣
It is hilarious and something you don't thing about how funny it can be until you try to explain it.

Every human is as a gun shot, they can shoot with you, or, they can shoot against you. My mother's teachings. Trini.
Your mother sounds like a wise person! Thanks for watching
I am a European and love idiomatic expressions of all countries. They unite the human race to its core being.

OMG! This was very entertaining I myself have grown up with many of these can u say nostalgic?😃
Thanks for watching and the support!!
So are you Trinidadien?
Or from Tobago?
Wow the similarities. 😂😂😂 In Jamaica we say "What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly," "cockroach no business inna fowl fight" and "what is joke to you is death to me". We say tief from tief and the old broom one too.
Isn't it great to find out we have stuff in common over the distance? Thanks for watching!!
jamaican proverb is all over the Caribbean, they are all jamaican saying.

I need part 3
Will try to get it done.
What is your story? How did you end up in Tunisia?
I was hired out of Trinidad to relocate to Jamaica to lead team of graphic designers. After about 6 years there there was a need for a similar role in the same company in their Tunisia location. So i relocated there.
What about, " feeling like ah bite up shilling" means
It's a sarcastic remark, if someone does something good or they are proud of, someone will tell them they feel "like a bit up one cent".
How you some more Jamaica 2019
I am no in Jamaica at the moment. Will be back in a few months!
I feel so bad cause you're the only local person I've subscribed to
I think at least 8 out of the ten before in Jamaican way. They are so true…🙂
Part 3?
Maybe. Thanks fro watching!

They are our Caribbean brother and we will share similar sayings. plus most of these are considered out dated and not a major use anymore.
