I don't speak patois

High everybody! Greetings from freezing Germany. Please overstand that I do not speak perfect patois but I think I know English good enough to communicate.

That is all you need svenmeister, english is the common langauge on the boards, but from time to time a little of the Jamaican dialect comes out.

Welcome to everytingjamaican.com and hope you'll continue to contribute on the boards.


Trust mi wi overstan

Re: I don't speak patois

Hi everyone, I'm reading the messages every day (even at work), the explanation of patois too. Please tell me in patois how to show the feelings (love too). Thanks

Re: I don't speak patois

I know that's true. A jamaican man are able to make a woman thinking she's the only one in the world for him even when there are others too. But you doesn't answer my question. Please give me examples or aren't you a real jamaican?

Re: I don't speak patois

As a bavarian ( south german ) I got it verry quick. when you there you get to it better then from songs I think. It is important to forget the real english word and a possible spelling of an patois word. Just see it like you would talk an language what is totaly different to english and say the words with the same sound as you here them. But then there is also some territorial differences of the patois to so some sound not always the same, here you need to go back to the origin english to get hold of the meaning. Ore just be explained what it means and you will find out there are more than one way to talk patois. A thing you need to grow into, by using it, as all languages.
