10 Trini Patois words influenced by French (plus some Lagniappe)

[@nikkifav4639]

A lot of these words were also Haitian Creole as well. Thinking about visiting you guys now 🙂

[@R.chris1212]

Older Trinidadians spoke creole

[@JazzyJ96771]

My Grandma was from Trinidad, I miss her so much, best woman I've ever met. Patois is fascinating, as are languages in general 🥰

[@robertrostant6986]

My Dad spoke patois a lot his family from north part of Trinidad we use to visit with them off as a little boy most off them spoke patois I remember a lot from their conversations thanks for bringing back memories and remember all the words 😆

[@kbro7997]

Good job 👌

[@hailie_Selassie]

We Haitians also use wi at the end of sentences

[@kionaassing7031]

I love learning of similarities in cultures. It's always nice to be reminded that the world has been sharing different aspects of culture with each other fo as long as people have been migrating to different lands. The history that it reminds me of is not exactly joyous but we can still appreciate that it binds us. Haiti paved the way for our freedom and for that, your country will always have my respect.

[@hailie_Selassie]

@@kionaassing7031 Thank you.

[@iayyam]

I actually don't speak Patois so these are just the words we still use in daily speech. However I will work on getting someone to do a couple lessons for youtube.

[@jayrockstedy9890]

Not well enough researched. My grade is a “C” sorry Kiona

[@kionaassing7031]

@@patrickmcneilly2585 I appreciate that. I am not a patois speaker per say, this was a video discussing those words which we still use regularly and the meaning it has taked on today. You can comment your suggestions or message me on my website msabbykay.com with your reccommended additions and additional knowledge.

[@nicholas5466]

Just for the record..skinny means maigre... pronounced as meg

[@iayyam]

Macommere is exactly your child's godmother. And Yuh Compere is the child's godfather.

[@iayyam]

@Mike Dessal it's French

[@iayyam]

@Mike Dessal while that is true, the word "compere" is French. Com=like ; Pere=father.

[@q.u.3.3.n]

Mal yeux....they rell like to use that when ppl watching uhh hard baii

[@keepyourculture]

Fête has a circumflex on the first "e," not an acute accent.
