WHERE ARE YOU? Jamaican Language lessons for beginners

[@talawaadodo4203]

I wonder if "A" might be greater degree of specification, like A dat mi (a) se ex: *A we yu de* "Where are you exactly?" *we yu de* "where are you?"

[@Tia-moyCummings]

1. A we Yú de ''Where are you exactly?'' 2. we ye de ''where are you?''

I was placed for adoption as a baby and adopted by an African American family. I recently found out I’m of Jamaican lineage. Although I’m middle aged, I would like to do as much as I can to get in touch with my Jamaican heritage. It starts with language. To that end, I am grateful for your channel. 😊

[@marcofacen9564]

Mek mi aks ya dis in Patwa. :) Mi a wonder if da word "wichpaat" or di shorter "whichaat" originated in di fact that Jamieka is split into parishes. Meaning that "whichaat" came from "whichpaat a mi Island ya come fram?" Wha ya tink? Greetings from Switzerland! Miss Jamieka nuf! Haffi get back de soon!

[@ShansPatwaAcademy]

Whichpaat originates from the English “which part” which in some cases can be interchangeable with “where”. A lot of the language was developed on the plantations when the English slave holders and the enslaved peoples (who also spoke different languages from each other because they were taken from different countries and tribes) had to find a middle ground to communicate. So at that time they were probably using it in a different context. But I am speaking generally though. I am not 100 percent sure about it. Also, big up yuself!

[@kkt8525]

I am Japanese. It's always fun to watch. I have a question, can Patois be understood in the English-speaking world?

[@kerwensjoseph2828]

That question is not addressed to me but let me give my opinion. It may be understood 20, 30 % if it’s someone educated speaking or someone from Kingston. Most of the time they tend to mix it a lot with standard English words which gonna help you a bit. But if it’s purely and authentic patois coming from deep people people in Jamaica 🇯🇲 a foreign English speaker may understand 10, 5 % or nothing at all as it can be difficult to get it at first even for Jamaican coming from other parishes.

[@rolandnedd9503]

I would generally say yes. I’m not of Jamaican heritage, but I think I can easily understand a lot; most, if not all, I reckon.

[@DS-jw1jk]
