Hi how are You? greetings from Costa Rica by Chance could You be able to tell me what does the expression TELL MI NUH mean please
@@kurogeezzymendezcanales8250 means “Tell me!” A the “nuh” serves as an exclamation or urgency.
As a Canadian Jamaican mixed person I appreciate these videos as I connect to my culture

Stop supporting businesses with piss poor customer service! Why would you buy food from there ? 🤷♀️Makes no sense . Jamaicans need to stop with the nasty attitude, it’s toxic , played out and corny .
Great share my G . Love your content

Oonuh / Unnu. Whats the diffrence?
@@Mange.. spelling. It hasn’t been standardized yet so people will spell it differently (oono, oonuh, unnuh, unnu, unu) but it still means “you guys” or “you all” when you’re addressing 2 or more people directly.
Teacher Andry how about saying the two of us are here.both of them are there.
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t 1. Di 2 a wi deh yah 2. Both/2 a dem deh deh
Teacher Andry you said deh us used to be.so if I want to say the clothes are dirty.do I say di cloth dem deh dirty or no need for deh I just say di cloth dem dirty.
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t jus: Di clothes dem dutty…(state of being)
Keep making these videos love them
jamaican,irish,and cajun Louisiana....my three favorites!!!!
I jamaica so no subscribe
This is called rhethorical exclamation." The exclamation sign really shows the difference when written. 1. Him nuh gone vs Him nuh gone! (Different) 2. Di nuh box him vs Di man nuh box him! (Different) 3. Ain't nobody mi trust like she vs Ain't nobody mi nuh trust like she! [Same sentence] And also, "nuh" is used in place of "please " Gi mi some food nuh! "Give me some food please " Subscribe da channel yah nuh! " Subscribe this channel please] So the "nuh" exclamation is spoken in high pitch intonation. Hope I've tried.
Dis like San Andres creole
@@kokodrove not quite
@@ChatPatwah very similar in some ways, I notice that as raizal from san andres unu use almost the same pronouns
Mi a fi learn Jamaican.
I haven't gone through the other videos yet, but I thought you had to put fi before mi in order to change it to my? Great video tho🙌 P.s nevermind I confused that with my
What about 'dweet' - as in mi nah dweet? I'm not being critical, but your sentences sound very English. Should you not be using patois throughout the entire sentence? Just an observation.
@@sandrajohnson-brown9418 these lessons are a series…so I start off pretty basic and it gets more in depth as they progress. Nuff respeck 👊🏾🇯🇲
as a caribbean person, learning patois honestly helps me feel way more connected to my culture! these videos are so helpful, thank you! 🇩🇲🇧🇧

@@user-zb9tt7mo3t yuh can seh “Wah di movie did a seh” or “Wah di movie did a gwaan seh” and it’s understood as what was the movie about.
@@ChatPatwah Thank you so much Teacher Andry.I appreciate the support
@@ChatPatwah Teacher Andry was requesting how to use this sentence in Patwa.if you compare patwa to other languages patwa is easier.then this one of these two this one is better

So in those examples, "nuh" is like "now" in English (come now), etc.
Yo Mi G Tanks fi di explanation. Mi neva know Bawl hav many meanings. Dis a eye opening fi real
How to ask when ?in patwa when are you coming?
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t 1. When yuh a come? 2. When yuh a plan fi come? 3. When yuh a fahwud? 4. Yuh a come now (or other time frame)? 5. Yuh soon reach (Are you almost here)? 👊🏾
@@ChatPatwah Thanks so much Teacher Andry since now we have reached this level it would be good to upload videos (animation videos reflecting on whqt we learnt it will improve our listening and comprehension skills Kindly
Thanks for all your resources. It would be cool if you could talk about exclusively Jamaican words, so words that are not used in English, or Jamaican idioms and expressions that may have recognizable English words in them but whose meaning cannot be known by those words alone. Something like the short you did on bawl but with more words, expressions, etc. If u like this suggestion, u could maybe go about it thematically. So, food expressions, work, music, nature, etc. Just an idea. Either way, thanks a lot for all the vids you’ve made already, I’m going thru them atm. Much appreciation!
@@ReauKwami great suggestion…I can definitely put something together that addresses this! Bless up 👊🏾🇯🇲
Gud mawnin Andre. I have a Jamaican family that I’ve known for 8 yrs, and visited 3 times. Your CZcams channel and your book have helped me immensely. I knew a likkle patois, now I know a likkle more patois and it’s making sense. You’re right. Be patient and it will come together. Thank you for using your God given teaching gift.
@@t.coleman7416 appreciate di feedback…an glad seh it a help. Now oonuh wi have a deepa connection when oonuh a communicate!! Bless up 😁👊🏾🇯🇲
Thank you for the reply. I’m having a difficult time with the words oonuh and yuh. In your response to me, you used “oonuh”, (two 2+ people). Why didn’t you use “yuh” since you’re talking to one person? Or were you addressing the group of us who are commenting? Thank you again.
@@t.coleman7416 yeh man…no problem…I used “oonuh” meaning “you and family” so in that context “you all” or “you guys”…you’re correct…if I was addressing just you…I would’ve used “yuh”. (You/your) 👊🏾🇯🇲
@@ChatPatwah Got it! I just got back from Ochi in May. Thanks to you, I’ll be more familiar with patois when I go back next year.
@@t.coleman7416 blessings…if yuh have questions jus shout mi 👊🏾
this is good. mi neva kno dat. keep it comin iya

Big up yuhself to big Andre❤
Teacher Andry by the way how to use is and are in patwa for example the room is dirty.the socks are white.
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t Fall under “State of being” so no “is/are/am” necessary. The room is dirty = Di room dutty. The socks are white = Di socks dem white (Even though socks already plural…wi still add dem for grouping)
@@ChatPatwah thanks so much Teacher Andry.one more thing I would love to know using can,can't ,could and could not for example I can come on Monday?I can't come on Tuesday?I could not come because of the rain 🌧. Help me with one Teacher Andry.
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t Mi can come Mondeh, Mi cyaan come Tuesdeh, Mi could’n come chru/caw/sake a rain did a fall.
I can't come? I can come?
How to use can and can not
Teacher something not connected to this lesson but I would love to know how I can say the following in patwa÷I could not come because of the rain?
There’s “soon come” “soon reach”. What’s the other one? I forget
🇯🇲🏴🇨🇮🏴
So fi example I want to say an area like how 's that place? Do I see how ih be dat grung
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t no - “How da place deh stay/tan?” “Wi a run di grung” is a slang that more than likely will evolve.
He came on Sunday?can I say him did come pon Sunday??
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t yeh…yuh can use dat or “Him did deh yah Sundeh” = He was here on Sunday
@@ChatPatwah how about I will visit you on Sunday.Is it mi a guh visit yuh pon Sunday or on Sunday?
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t yeh…couple ways: “Mi a guh come check yuh Sundeh” “Mi wi link yuh Sundeh” “Mi a guh pass chru Sundeh” couple of ways you can say this but what you have is also correct.
Teacher Andry would love to ask something about the locative description in patwa.like saying he is in Uganda.will it be him deh a uganda?
@@user-zb9tt7mo3t Perfeck!!!! Yup! “Him/im deh a Uganda” good job mi G 👊🏾
