When the lady says "Omo! E be like film!" Omo literally means "child" and here it is used in a similar fashion to how the word Child or Chil" is sometimes used in AAVE. Also the word sabi has its origins in the Latin word saber(Espanol, Portuguese), or savoir(Fr) which means to know and probably seeped into local lingo through coastal trade between Portuguese and Africans. It was common in old Jamaican Patois to use "sabi", but is not much used nowadays at all.
I'm South African and my favourite pidgin saying is 'shift abeg make una see road' meaning 'get out of my way please' 🤣🤣 and 'money miss road' meaning a wasteful expenditure
For it to have meaning you cannot use ‘una’(you). Use ‘I’ (I). It should be ‘shift abeg, make I see road’ = Please get out of the way so I can see. To perfectly get it right, it should be said with rudeness and attitude 😄😄 It’s literally a way of telling someone to bug off. Here’s what you’d said, ‘Please get out of the way so you can see’. 🤨 ‘Una’ means ‘You’(plural). Singular ‘You’ is the same as in English ‘You’. But the plural of ‘You’ in pidgin is ‘Una’
Her pidgins are just normal regular and general Nigerian Pidgin. But it varies in different part of the country, like we have normal pidgin which she’s speaking and we have WARRI,BENIN, PH pidgin. that’s the south south (Niger delta) part of Nigeria their pidgin are more unique and full of slangs.
Nice to see you guys doing this, I really love it, I have learnt a lot about Nigeria too watching your videos. My wife is Nigerian and im Russian. You guys should try and take the DNA test to trace your root, I will be so glad if any of you is Nigerian😅😅😅
Pidgin is a soup-mix of English, French, Portuguese, and our indigenous words. The foreigners took Africans from one region as guides to other regions. Sierra Leone was one of their administrative bases in the west African subregion, so Nigerian Pidgin mostly originated from there. However, pidgin also has West Indian and Brazilian influences. Some slaves returned with their own lexicon and expression. Nigerian pidgin has some French or francophone vocabulary and expression. For example, when we want to say something is plentiful, we say "E boku" which is from the French word Beaucoup. In pidgin, "dey" is used a lot. E dey pain me. It is hurting me. "dey" originates from the French preposition "de" the English "of". The speakers of pidgin are not necessarily aware of these linkages. Pidgin is a language of its own that continues to evolve. Many of our native language words and expressions have found their way into the vocabulary. Pidgin also has dialects. The Lagos pidgin is the most universal. The Benin and Warri or Delta axis is distinct, as is the Sierra Leonian. Someone from other parts of Nigeria may not be able to comprehend the Warri pidgin in its full expression. Pidgin shows that language is merely about communication. Sit down in pidgin is "sidon". If I want to tell someone to sit down in a particular place, I will say, "Make u sidon for here." The use of "make u" is a non-English grammatical structure being used along with improperly spelled English words. It seems more like French or Spanish structure. It may be Yoruba or Igbo structure. I know Igbo grammar is closer to French and Spanish than English. Pidgin and Ebonics are both West African expression in my opinion. They express a never-ending creativity.
You guys are my favorite and your pidgin sounds good😊 Sierra iv been wanting to say your hands and fingers look like mine (e be like film 😊). Keep up the good work guys👏👏
Demouchets you guys are wonderful. Making me happy and laugh. You don stone? Means - have you eaten? This is majorly spoken in WARRI delta state Nigeria. You don stone? Have you eaten?
the word "Sabi" is a portuguese word for Know or kmowledge. The Portugese were our first colonial masters before they were pushed out by the British. Lagos is actually a Portugese region which exists today in Portugal. The early portuguese who landed claimed that the coastline resembled that of Lagos and named our Lagos after theirs.

Here’s what you’d said, ‘Please get out of the way so you can see’. 🤨
‘Una’ means ‘You’(plural).

When some one tells you shine your eyes its mostly refers to be at alert vigilant so that no one will (outsmart you)
Demouchets you guys are wonderful. Making me happy and laugh. You don stone? Means - have you eaten? This is majorly spoken in WARRI delta state Nigeria. You don stone? Have you eaten?
Sabi is a Portuguese word for knowledge. Most nigerian pidgin words are made of Portuguese words.
yeah very true .
Pidgin bis adulterated English to suit locals
Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Nigeria... In the city of Warri.

There are levels to pidgin, this is a very good video for the introduction, but when you go down to the south theirs is more complex.
Shine your house,just mean be careful or be smart( more like be street smart).

the word "Sabi" is a portuguese word for Know or kmowledge. The Portugese were our first colonial masters before they were pushed out by the British. Lagos is actually a Portugese region which exists today in Portugal. The early portuguese who landed claimed that the coastline resembled that of Lagos and named our Lagos after theirs.
You're absolutely correct 💯
The first city the Portuguese landed on was Warri not Lagos.... They came to trade with the Itsekiri people.
The "first city"was never part of my comment.@@Lazy_football
