I have heard almost all of these saying. I grew up with my parents teaching us life lessons via Trini slang.

Every human is as a gun shot, they can shoot with you, or, they can shoot against you. My mother's teachings. Trini.

"Ungratefulness is worse than witchcraft" My grandmother love to say this.

Thanks for watching and the support!!

[@dotcom2528]

So are you Trinidadien? Or from Tobago?

[@adventuresfromelle]

Wow the similarities. 😂😂😂 In Jamaica we say "What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly," "cockroach no business inna fowl fight" and "what is joke to you is death to me". We say tief from tief and the old broom one too.

[@YohanPartap]

Isn't it great to find out we have stuff in common over the distance? Thanks for watching!!

I need part 3

[@YohanPartap]

Will try to get it done.

[@academyvsart]

Thank you for the video. My grandfather is Trinidadian and often says some irritated exclamation that sounds like "ah beg ah soy mey wee." He refuses to explain it and no one else in the family can provide a translation. Do you have any clue what he might be talking about?

[@YohanPartap]

Hi, Thanks for watching! I have not heard that one before, because of the "wee" i think it might be french creole that used to be spoken in Trinidad but it sadly dying out, i will try to research it to find the meaning.

[@sherrymoore687]

I knew i was young when i left Trinidad but i honestly have never heard none of these slangs before even in your part 1 video, even my old friends and some relatives that live in Trinidad I've never heard them use these sayings, to weird for me, but i enjoyed the video everyone i suppose perhaps in there family use some kind of slangs..

[@YohanPartap]

You will heard most light the older folks using some, made these videos as sort of a way to preserve them as they are not really in use anymore. Thanks for watching!

[@sherrymoore687]

@@YohanPartap Right i get you!!

[@tillybinkieking7258]

Number 6 (COMMON SENSE BEFORE BOOK SENSE) reminds me of the Wife of Bath (Chaucer) when she starts her Prologue with the words "Experience, though noon auctorietee......." (Experience although not Textual Authority) Punching out her theme from the very first go! In other words, athough other (pilgrims) speak of their causes by using their education, she believes her ways have more truth by what she has learned in her lifetime.

[@vinr3284]

What is your story? How did you end up in Tunisia?

[@YohanPartap]

I was hired out of Trinidad to relocate to Jamaica to lead team of graphic designers. After about 6 years there there was a need for a similar role in the same company in their Tunisia location. So i relocated there.

[@tillybinkieking7258]

[@meganmangray1607]

What about, " feeling like ah bite up shilling" means

[@YohanPartap]

It's a sarcastic remark, if someone does something good or they are proud of, someone will tell them they feel "like a bit up one cent".

[@mitsysimkelle2325]

I think at least 8 out of the ten before in Jamaican way. They are so true…🙂
