ISIRE nah do too bad.
I bet you can do it !

hey !
I noticed that just like I many people here wanna learn patois, I tried all the "patois-dictionnaries" stuffs and I tried to get in touch with some Jamaican people to learn it but still...
so let's try it that way:
TO ALL THE PEOPLE SPEAKIN PATOIS, GIVE US JUST ONE SENTENCE OR EXPRESSION YOU LOOOOOVE USING IN PATOIS AND ITS MEANING so that we can use it when we get in JA (hey!something fun so that we don't look ridiculous !!!)

I'm sure we'll get some good teachings like dat...

ok let me start with the only sentence I know:
mi luv jamaican patois...loooll
did I get it right ?
