Jamaican Patwah (Patois) Part I

Ey ya all, wah gwaan? Everytin irie an kool? Yeh mon.
Mi wuda like present ya sum (simple)Jamaican Patwah tips. Ya ready fi dis?! :)
Wat nah workin in Patwah:

No H ...... ex. {eng} - Hi, [jam] - I.
{eng} - Hello, [jam] ello. {Eng}- hey, [jam] - ey.
No TH .....ex. {eng} - This, [jam] - dis.
{eng} - Thanks, [jam] - tanks. {eng} - three, [jam] tree
No ER, or OR sounds at the end of nouns ..... ex {eng} - Father,[jam] - Faada.
{eng} - Water, [jam] - waata. {eng} - doctor [jam] - dacta .


No past tense . Like - Waited , walked , stayed .
Instead, put "did" and keep the present tense
Ex - did wait , did walk , did stay .
No purals , like -the patties ,these girls , those men ,
Intead keep the pural and put " dem " meaning "them" before or after .
Ex - di pattie dem , dem girl or gal yah, dem man deh , .
Instead of I use mi
Am, are, is , can be replaced with " A "
Ex. I am - mi-a, they are - dem-a, this is - dis - a
No ing , like - singing, dancing, eating .
Intsead delete the " G " from " ing " .
Ex, singin , dancin , eatin ,
Another way is to delete " ing " and keep the word
Ex, sing , dance , eat .

Dat all fa dis evenin, dis tips mi did get from mi breddin outta Jamaica. :)

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone is going to spend this magical time full of joy, hapiness and love around family and loved ones. Even these who do not celebrate this holiday, I wish you much more to come in 2017, make sure that decisions made in the next year will be only good ones and based on your experience. And to all gluttons as me! Hope that all of these calories gained during Christmas will disappear quickly, so in my case I wish myslef to be more active phisically and finally find some free time to go at some dance classes next year :) oxoxox Blessing, Paula

Welcome again

Hello everyone! It's been a long time without me on this blog but I'm gonna make it up! What am I going to post about? Many things as I have many passions and hobbys but of course I will generally set my mind on topics connected with Africa, Jamaica and music. If I see something what interests me in these subjects, I will let you know immediately! Love, peace and unity
