I have lived in the USA for my whole life, but I grew up in the suburbs and didn't really meet a lot of African American people until I moved to a different city when I was 20. I took an interest in languages about several years ago and I feel delighted to learn that there are like, actually grammar and other rules of usage in the creole that is AAVE. It's really rich, I had no idea. I want to learn more.
Discrimination based on dialect is not unique to the USA, but I wonder how we as a society can change the perception.
What is with so many of these comments? this is just a nice little explanation of aave, it gives the facts and if you can't accept that different dialects exist in groups outside your own- which have their own unique histories- idk what to tell you. That's kinda just how language is. You're not going to "get" what isn't familiar to you
Interesting. So, I have been using AAVE my whole life, regardless my improvement in reading and understanding the English language? Along with the New York accent as well? Wow. Good video.
Look up the name Alonzo Dow Turner he wrote book
Africanisms in the Gullah Dialect...
Youll see these words we use are litterally words from all over Africa with a few english thrown in... not the other way around...
Look up on your Goolge search.... African words found in English Dictionary....a pleather with be listed but not near all... so...as you study AAVE remember the foundation....
Very interesting explanations. Can one explain the usage and meaning of the "N word" in AAVE? I am confused about that one. PS, this is just "Ebonics" rebranded.
Now I understand, ese.
Awesome job!!
Cool - thank you - this is really something I didn’t know about!
Honest question: Is there a similar video for the Appalachian-American dialect?
There are RUclips videos of residents explaining it. It's actually funny, doesn't make it good or proper English, but it's a dialect for sure.
The rural Southern and Appalachian dialects were picked up by African slaves n the South, and has now, unfortunately, become a major part of "Black culture."
@@Eulogy10 Ebonics and "AAVE" weren't appropriated. It's a form if English learned from illiterate Southerners.
@@douglascrouse8793 no
@@bigpynk No need, really, since "AAVE" is derived from Appalachian English. ;)
It's not broken or incorrect it's simple Black American idiosyncratic way of speaking English.
We're geniuses...See Classical music then see ragtime, gospel, jazz etc,
etc...

This is a good explanation, was taking notes the whole time!
🧡
the only explanation for this, in reality, is intellectual laziness and lack of self-respect. the video was ridiculous.
Nice to know that the bar for education is so low now. Speaking as someone who's parent grew up in the hills of Kentucky and who's vocabulary was not the greatest, it's ok to speak this way around friends & family but not in public. Regardless of your actual intelligence it makes you sound like you're ignorant.
Speech rules are descriptions of how speakers communicate.
Proper speech is how people of a group speak while being understandable to others in the community.
Fascinating concept!
I'm a second year collage student majoring in English Lit and would like to
offer a fresh take on Shakespearian plays.
How would you translate the following into AAVE. Anyone?
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.
Speech: “To be, or not to be, that is the question”
(from Hamlet, spoken by Hamlet)
By William Shakespeare
Bro…….wtf? 😂
Great job explaining AAVE. It's a shame that we're demonized when using this way of talking but non blacks are looked at as being cool.
as a white person who used aave because its what has been in my brain since i was exposed to it my whole childhood and had it stuck in my vocabulary for a LONG time until I moved and was around pretty much only white people and i hate it when people say this because it is NOT seen as cool and I was bullied for it a lot causing me to force myself to unlearn everything that i had installed into my brain
Nobody looks at it as cool, anybody who speaks this way will immediately be written off, you will never be taken serious speaking like this. It's just an excuse to speak incorrectly because learning proper english is difficult. Everybody is laughing at this video.
Your lazy argument and the video is based on the silly assumption that non blacks speak the so called 'plain English'.
Anyone using "AAVE" comes across as unintelligent.
white or black talking like this is hilariously dumb! can you explain FINNA for me?? hahahah
It's not a dialect, it's lack of education. You can't legitimize gibberish which is what it is. Do better, naw sayin dawg?
Is Jamaican patois a lack of education too?
@@alexas3833 yes

Actually, you lack the education. Linguistics have proven AAVE follows grammar rules just like standard English. Don’t be hateful
THis is cringe asf... they really replace GONNA with FINNA... its not even shorter... like whats the point?
Gonna and finna are both used, neither are supposed to be better .
@@SoboloMan I get that they are both used... but Only one is correct and makes any sense. The other is a degenerated version of the original, only used by a certain demographic of people who are known for pronouncing words incorrectly, and then using those incorrect words like they're correct and then attempting to normalise it..
Its sort of like the N word situation.. Instead of being like "yeah that words bad lets have NO one use it" they're like "we know this word is bad but we gonna still use it BECAUSE its bad and we can at least OWN it"
Like Finna... Its copied from Gonna, except Gonna has "go" in it so at least it somewhat relays the expression of "going to, gone".
Finna... Find... Fish... what insightful information can you provide about this word? other than one mentally defunct person saying a word wrong and then it becoming "trendy" lmao
@@dylanbaker7090 i agree i dislike the n word, but for finna i really dont care if you are gonna use finna or gonna. Both are used in the black african american dialect anyways. Both are informal version of going to but whatever… imna christian so we need to focus on things better, im still gonna understand you if you use finna or gonna just dont speak gibberish on me and im okay
@@dylanbaker7090 Language is not immutable.
Pure garbage!!
No
@@bigpynk yes
