As a Bajan 🇧🇧 who is married to a Jamaican 🇯🇲, I wish you both the best.

[@MicahRamsay-vb8dr]

Yuh cah make love on hungry belly...that is something you would hear with ole folks in Trinidad say... The Mighty Sparrow a calypsonian had a song with those lyrics.

[@triley1372]

You are a part of the West African diaspora. You are a part of the Caribbean diaspora. It's in your blood, so do not apologize. You are beautiful you. You are further exploring your heritage. And that can only be good. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!

[@bronze2811]

And Central African diaspora! Us Caribbean people (and African Americans, Afro Latinos) are descendants of Central Africa too such as Cameroon, Congo & Angola. Why is it always left out?!

[@jordantaylor9446]

All I gotta say the two of you make an excellent team who is such a wonderful married couple

[@JourneyToMy_Purpose]

Sending much love

[@keronakerona]

[@renishaparks]

I'm not from the island but I can tell that the Mrs had some in her, surprised by the Mr

[@Ebee7]

I really enjoyed this! Thank y'all for posting! Sending love from a fellow African immigrant that's connected to her roots but not connected connected lol ❤

[@denisevidal982]

Sake is pronounced to rhyme with take. Not the rice wine😅😂. Anyway, hoe is a gardening tool used to dig dirt. And every hoe has a stick that will fit it. Meaning everyone has someone who is compatible with them. These are Jamaican 'proverbs' or wise sayings. Keep on learning 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 One love❤

[@iamladyblack1188]

Ya’ll are too cute!!! I’m from Queens and my folk are from the south. Some Gullah Geechee, some coastal North Carolina. But growing up in NYC we were exposed to other cultures young. I love that for me!!! Love to all my Caribbean folk! Love to my African folk! Love to my Afro Latino folk!!!

[@Jerusalem23]

Im black american and still grew up knowing all those songs lol. That was the beauty of the 80's and 90's. Especially in New York

[@LoniLoni11]

From Guyana here. Try: 1) "All skin teeth nah laugh"; 2) "One, one dutty build dam"; 3) "Ya cyan see trouble in de day and tek fire stick to look fuh it at night"; 4) "Monkey know which limb fuh climb"; 5) "Come see meh and come live with meh is two different thing"; 6) "Moon ah run til day ketch am"; 7) "Every skin teeth is na laugh"; 8) "Do suh nah like suh"; 9) "Thief man nah like see mattee hold he bag". 🇬🇾

[@FreedomofSpeech865]

Lawd, #5 my Jamaican grandmother would say all the time see me and come live with me is two different things! Also, what no good a mornin’ no good an evening aka if he is no good now he won’t be good later

[@monicacarter8105]

Just curious does #7 mean or is similar to "Just because someone is smiling doesn't mean they are happy and/or like you. #6 sounds like an old saying that I think was " Don't let the sunlight greet your back when you come home. Basically if you're going to run around all night at least be home before the sun comes up.

Refreshing love is beautiful

[@darkangel1980]

🇬🇾 🇬🇾 My significant other was 🇯🇲 and we use to speak in patios creolese to each other. It ended up messing up my accent I switch between the two. Certain American friends thought we were weird for this, meanwhile I wouldn't even notice it.

[@monicacarter8105]

I don't understand why or how that is weird. Asian and Latino/Español Americans do it all the time. In parts of Lousiana, French/Creole is still spoken by people born and raised there.

[@AyanaInChrist]

Their vibes and humor makes so much sense now. Shout out from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

[@Dawn-xf6bh]

You two are ADORABLE. I can barely speak English but I love what you're doing and wish you the best!!

[@locks4]

Chan sounds more like guyanese😅

[@nangaeboko6710]

“ Cent.. five cent.. ten cent .. Dolla..”.. Wow!.. haven’t heard that in a while.. lol..Good luck to you.

[@NiesWorld]

I LOVE you guys EVEN more toooo know that yall are Caribbean !!!!! #yawdie !!!

[@realashandaatlarge]

As a Southern (Daddy's a Texan), Virgin Islander, I feel ya! But I went to the cookout! On the flip side: Dem damn yankee dem don't unnastand wah we da say! 🤣🤣 1¢, 10¢, dolla, dolla, dolla, dolla. 🎶🎶 🤣🤣 Aye you girl in de tight up shirt, you look so good make me blood vessel hurt! 🎶🎶

[@HashimThaDream]

“Make me a YARDY!!!” 😂😂😂

[@2weird4m3]

You guys sound like some of my friends that were born here. I wasn’t but I came here young enough that it makes me feel black American in a lot of ways but once they start with how they grew up doing, playing, listening too. I’m lost. Lol

[@GEM_777]

I love ya content ❤❤😂😂

[@tlwilliams-boucher6866]

It’s funny, I’m a black American and culturally from the African continent, the way language is used is very poetic and story-like. I can hear the similarities among various Caribbeans (been around them all my life, was married to a Haitian), the way my father and other family spoke and told stories, the way Gullah people speak (they are mostly in S Carolina and have a direct connection to I think Liberia). Studying the use of language, diction and vernacular is so cool. Love our diversity🙌🏾

[@Inglewood_Addition]

My folks (both parents) are from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 and I grew up in 🗣️IngleWOOOOOOOD, California. Salute 🫡 to all of my Caribbean brother and sisters. 🖤 SIDE NOTE: I almost didn’t recognize Chan without one of hubby’s hoodies on and/or that big ahh mustache she be wearing when she’s forced to do “manly” duties. 😆🤣

Yankee here from Trinidad raised in Philly

[@Bragga2]

As a Jamaican with kids being raised in Minnesota, I can appreciate this, because my kids will be just like you.. On that first one: It would be pronounced SAYKE. Think, "For goodness sake!" (Yep, it's thr same english word that means reason/purpose/because) Then the last one makes sense if you think of the actual farm equipment (hoe for digging). Back in the day they would be sold as just the metal part and farmers would have to find the appropriate stick to fit in it so they can use it. BIG UP UNU SELF!!!

[@MsKeiWilson]
