HOW TO SPEAK TRINI

[@NiaBalcer]

you forgot "eh"

[@lakieshacoudray8979]

we sometimes say how Yuh face swell up so Yuh toating feelings awa

[@nicoleramsaran1814]

Lakiesha Coudray lmao yeah

[@MsVirgoTrini]

ah like da one

[@LoveFaithopepatience]

In Jamaica we use "awa" as well. In different ways perhaps but it means the same.

[@chad7554]

Creativity≠Boundaries+ but we spell it either awah, pronouncing the h or we'd say Ah wah.

[@novletmills9244]

Yu comin awah? Are you coming or what? Thus, awa and awah seems to mean the same.

[@thevanessas]

This was so entertaining to watch! (It was vybz) As a Trini (currently residing) it's really cool that people are making videos to translate our dialect to others.

[@katchkadeem]

thevanessa_s Thank you! :)

[@claris-annjoseph9608]

[@samanthajeenasookoo7296]

Just came across this video... I think u should've mentioned some trini's speak like this, not all of us do 😊....

[@Cxnvict]

We can basically choose how we wanna speak but we just like to talk in our own way 😂😂

[@samanthajeenasookoo7296]

Yeah ik but the person made it seem as though we all speak broken...

[@novletmills9244]

Samantha Jenna Sookoo. You may accept to speak English, but remember, the English language is made up of mispronounced words. Some of those words derived from Spanish and French--just to mentioned few. Don't be too quick to point out your affinity to the Europeans lingo. We Caribbeans are too hard on ourselves. Our history culture us in all aspects of our lives. Hence, how we speak, the food eat, and how we dress are among some of our customary norms. My father was a teacher, he speaks English to us. My grandmother speaks patois. Yet, Dad throw in patois on occasions. Mi undahstan alla dem. You might not speak in that manner but I bet you understand what the young man was relaying. As long as you are from a particular country, you will always sounds as if some words are mispronounced to outsiders. Please, take a deep breath. Just relax and appreciate your culture. That way, you will respect everyone.

[@trini2DBone134]

@@samanthajeenasookoo7296 you must be a convent girl owa

[@ronaldthompson474]

Not all "th"'s are pronounced like "d" though. What about thick? Throat? Sometimes "th" you just say the "t" or it's a "tr" sound. In other words, you simply remove the "h".

[@who511]

preopositionsI believe.

[@jaelledickson2724]

We like to say all skin teeth not grin... and laugh and cry does live in the same house.
