He's not speaking because he is focusing so he doesn't cut his fingers off. I miss eating fresh sugar cane... the soil is so good you can practically farm in your back yard.
+Pela G Yes, but Black is but skin colour on some. He is westernized in his thoughts being a Londoner. That's why there's the disconnect with the ppl. His channel is interesting enough but he's simply over exposed to whites and can't shake their influence. Asking stupid arrogant questions more times than not. Even though he didn't mean anything by it.
1. Black isn't skin colour, it's an original mindset! My skin is the same brown as my family from Jamaica; the same brown as my family from Nigeria, and we all do things differently. We are all westernized to differing degrees, as we are all on different lands, as a result of western intervention. Nigeria was named by Britain. 2. Yes there is a disconnect, as I live and was raised in the city of London, and not a Rural area like Silent Hill. As far as being over-exposed to whites, that is a problem with the whole world. It's called White Supremacy, and Jamaica has been tainted by it since colonisation and slavery, which is why you can find so much shade-ism on the island. 3.There is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers. It was my first day in Jamaica, and being on a fact finding mission, my questions were not for me, but for those who would be watching the videos I went there to make. As an interviewer, I find you get the best answers if you act like you don't know anything. Trust me I know how to cut sugar cane, I just wanted them to show me. These are just my techniques; they work well and have served me well for years. Don't get it twisted! 4. I did not for one minute expect these videos to catch on to the degree that they have. I just wanted to document my trip, as I had never been, and to make a documentary of clips, and share it online. It just so happens that a lot of home-sick Jamaicans living in the UK, and elsewhere suddenly discovered the clips, and they started watching and sharing them. I give thanks.
Patois isn't some downgrade language. It's a beautifully spoken freedom dialect, which is to be respected. The Queens English shouldn't be used as a precursor for intelligence. So stop with those idiotic notions, and show some respect. Pre- independence Jamaicans had spoken clear English for years, at home and in public. Jamaicans Louis Bennett and Ranny Williams were very much instrumental in reviving the Patois as an indigenous Jamaican dialect, to be loved and appreciated. Suddenly in the 1950's onward, Jamaicans began going back to the slavery days and thus creating a revival of our language. This wave then created a Renaissance of School plays, Ring games, Anancy Stories and Other Historical Cultural appreciation. So what was seen as an embarrassment of pubilically speaking Patois, was now viewed as a proud national heritage of Jamaica.... So please put some Respeck Pon Wi Culture... Zeen!😊
Hmmm i am from Cameroon and nvr had a Jamaica friend, let alone bn in Jamaica but i understand the Language very well. The whole west coast of Africa is not new to this language. its our language brought to the Americas during the slave trade. I feel a deep love for my Jamaica brothers and sisters. We love u in Cameroon.
Indeed. I love how miss Lou expounded upon the point and encouraged thinking of it as a legitimate unique language cultivated over centuries with rich diverse influences and origins instead of just a tougue of less intelligent people 😀
+Johnny Khan word dude. just push dat inna yuh jaw caana an tear aff de skin. those were the days. Try that now with you rip out your fillings and implants
I was born in Trelawny. Mudane should never use when you talk bout Jamaica. Thank you for filming everything. 15 years and I look forward to going home.
I love Jamaica (been there 5 times in 4 years)-- Jamaican food, people, mountains, beaches. Enjoy being out and about in Jamaica and immersing myself in the culture. It beats staying in a boring old resort that looks the same, regardless of whether you're in Jamaica, Florida or California. What's the point of going to some place outside the U.S., if all you're going to do is stay in your "ivory tower"? Videos like this are interesting to me. I would love to be able to understand Patois better and be able to speak it some day. Can't get enough of Jamaica.
I'm part jamaican & I chose to do my minority language presentation on Jamaican Patois... I'm pretty sure I'm gonna use this. Looks peaceful there!!! :) I also talked about how the British made it seem like a low-prestige language compared to Standard Jamaican English. And I touched on the influence of reggae on raised consciousness, nationalism, and covert prestige. So geeked! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!!!
My parents are exactly from this environment in Jamaica. Coincidentally, here in The Netherlands where I now live, a child of Jamaican immigrants to London came around to our house for tea yesterday. The conversation got on to Jamaican Patois and he claimed he was discouraged to speak it at home, whereas in my parents' home in Birmingham, UK that never ever came up. Consequently I grew up speaking Jamaican Patois and to this day my Patois is indistinguishable from that spoken in Jamaica.
Well, many of us do not love you. Remember it was you guys and other Africans that sold us into generations of chattel slavery simply because you wanted guns, rum, whiskey and trinkets.
@FreeTraders You are out of your mind. I'm 97% of west African heritage with parents from rural Jamaica. The history of Jamaica is my passion and trust me, we were not Israelites. These are a people that existed in Biblical times and by and large had NOTHING to do with black people.
View master I totally agree. That patois is one of the reasons why our culture is so authentic and unique. Left Ja since 71 naw change Fi nobaddi. ZEEN. One luv Jamaica for life.
I love the way my Caribbean people, and Africans have their own dialects that are spoken casual settings. What makes it even better is that it's embraced. It liken to African Americans and the many variations of slang depending on which city your in. I think Americans should embrace the slang more as a "Freedom language " . It's cool and unique. Standard English is not some gauge of intelligence although I do believe it should be used as a standard means of communication when in a formal situation.
I love this. I pray this video will remain up on CZcams for many years to come. This is one of few videos that gives you the RAW AUTHENTIC patios where if you are not Jamaican (that livescin Jamaica; especially from the rural areas) you will have a hard time understanding the words or what is being said. Also to non Jamaicans they will only hear one sound,but there are accents in patios,depending on which area of the country the speaker is from. They sound like they're either from parish of St.Mary or St.Elizabeth.
yes they understand English SAUNFYRE and they also speak english, but you have some people that cant speak it properly becaue of where they come from but we do understand english in school we speak english (we learn in english) we only talk patwa with our friends
i LOVE to hear Jamaica's speak heavy patois & try & keep up with wat dem ah sey. its a beautiful accent, & the slang off da hook. even the word patois dont look the way its pronounced. by heck, that's alot of English words
Jamaicans like to use the spelling: "Patwa" to refer to their english-based lingual, rather than: "Patois" which they use in reference to the french-based lingual on other islands… It makes sense.
nun beat di vibe of di yaad. especially pon di country side. di feel jus so raw and real, pure and true unlike a lotta di world we see today. much respect to dis family whereva dey be 💪🏿💪🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲
Patois is its own language. I’m not playing with anybody who says it is broken English or bastardized English. Patwa is it’s a blend of languages English be in the base but not the full language. Patois specifically Jamaican patois is one of the most distinct languages in the Caribbean and deserves to be put up high. In my lifetime I would like to see the standardization of Jamaican patois and the nationalization of Jamaican patois. Jamaica needs to teach patwa in schools, we need to write books in patois. I was born in Canada and it was very hard for me to speak patois because I can’t read it. I understand every word but my accent is terrible, I would love to writes poetry in patois, and books in patois. Hopefully this will change the stigma of people placing Patois lower than standardize English. And I know there’s gonna be a lot of pushback saying we should just keep it our secret language but could you imagine how unified we would be internationally and how easy it would be to teach young Jamaicans in the diaspora like myself.
I am from the UK and have no idea how to speak patois and i am white so i do not have any kind of upbringing with this culture but for some strange reason, i understand patois. Very strange but i love it and i love the language a lot. I find it is very poetic almost for some reason.
There are wjite people in jamaica too... There is a small town full of white people in jamaica called German town..theu are the german decent who live in Jamaica.
U understand it cuz its derived from english. UK english to be precise. So people from UK will understand it a lot more than say an american, to whom it sounds like spanish for all they know.
mostly African and English origins but some Spanish in it too...still each term pronounce totally different than its original with different patterns therefore best described as a Creole than "broken English"
This reminded me of my first visit to Bamboo St. Elizabeth to visit my brother's family. It was a far different experience from what I'm am used to in Kingston.
We have a lot of them in my beautiful country Vanuatu Southwest Pacific, it's a Tropical Islands just like Jamaica. Mi love that video and thanks for sharing.
@@marcusxavier6467 nah Haïtiens need to speak French and embrace the French language. For political et professional reasons. Considering the fact that their language is FRENCH. And their country is pretty much French. In almost everything (other than on the street conversations). On a professionnel scale French will bring them up ⬆️. There’s no problem with speaking creole but Haiti also needs to make French more seriously.
2:56 the lady said see a whole heap of cane up there for you to eat, and the cameraman showed some bamboo, real foreigner that, don't know the difference between can and bamboo. LOL
That's my kinds of life that I grow up with living with my grandmother and grandfather oh lord these was the days of our lives. R.i.p grandma and grandfather.

I'm Jamaican and I didn't even quite understand some of what they were saying. It sounded foreign. Not trying to throw shade, I love my people and our language
You can't be Jamaican (as in born and raised) and don't understand what they are saying! I left Jamaica years ago and understand, clearly, everything they're saying.
I remember getting fresh sugar cane when I lived in Taiwan back in the early 80's. Anyway, Jamaican Patois is fascinating, especially how it evolved in its history. I guess some argue it is a dialect of English but to me, it is a unique language. Spanish and Italian are derivatives of Latin so why then should Jamaican Patois not be classified as a unique language?
Hey! Beautiful video. I would like to know how do they call in Jamaica (or any other caribbean island) to those fruits they're enjoying in the final part of the video. In my island we call it "jobo" and most of us prefer to eat jobos that way too, not ready 'cause they're super acid 😆
I find a fun way to learn patois is to get Louise Bennett's books like (Jamaica Labrish, Aunty Roachy Sey and Selected Poems) then read along with the poems on youtube.
Jamaican créole near to french créole(Martinique, Guadeloupe...) just they are based on english lexical and us on french lexical. For example to say " im eating" jamaican creole "mi a eat" and martinican creole "mwen ka mangé" ( je mange in french)
We call it 'wi' in Fiji. We eat it as it is peeled or make jams and chutneys from it. But I love your tree. Very short and loaded with fruit. Some a very sour but some a very sweet.
Opal Hohn they did not say plant the sink in the ground. They said she can plant a plant in the sink. You must learn if listen before you yap you beak. Listen my yute listen.
He's not speaking because he is focusing so he doesn't cut his fingers off. I miss eating fresh sugar cane... the soil is so good you can practically farm in your back yard.

Actually we would more likely use the word "nyam" for eat which is from the Wolof west african language,

My great grandfather had sugarcane fields. My dad used to cut it into little bits for me to chew. Memories.
the fruit is called golden apple in Barbados, it has one big prickly seed in the middle and the tree grows to about 30ft or more.
It has to drop to eat it,we just pick the greenish yellow ones
