You are too cute Rhonda. You got the translation perfect. Patois is not taught in Jamaican schools, and I have heard that the teacher frowns upon the use during learning activities. Of course, I didn't go to school in Jamaica so I can only go by what I have been told by Jamaicans in Jamaica. There is no right or wrong way to spell in patwah which is why a lot of Jamaicans will say they have trouble reading it, and it gives them a headache.

I have become acclimated with reading it and typing from another website. I have been a member for seven years. I can understand it spoken very well, and Jamaicans are only convinced when they hear me respond without saying "huh? What? Repeat it again? Say it slower". I just don't trust myself to speak it, and I am extremely shy in my small attempts to speak it because I don't want to be laughed at. Jamaicans already laugh at me because I have a Southern drawl...LOL...imagine me adding that and the Jamaican lilt. Would not be good in my opinion. LOL :lol:

When I first started understanding it verbally, it began from me recognizing words that I had seen written and sounded out.

I had the same experience you had with the guys talking about women and sex in patois. However, one guy was talking to my sweetie about me. It wasn't mean...but it was rude about what he would like to do with me. I was flirting with my sweetie and licked his ice cream cone, oblivious to the fact that this guy was watching.

My sweetie knew that I was going to defend myself...so he didn't say a word and just looked at me with a evil grin on his face. Then, when I went off and told the guy that he needs to ask his mother how he should conduct himself around a real woman and some other things I can't repeat here, my sweetie burst out laughing LOUDLY. He said he knew it was coming and he wanted to see the guy's reaction. Well, the guy was trying to apologize and so forth, and we all laughed about it and how shocked he looked when I responded.

Feel free to PM me if you want to practice with me. I don't mind. You can practice writing it by responding to me in patois, and I will tell you if it's not right or just a little off.

Jawi,

Mi 'ear yuh Mon,Mi 'ear yuh! Jah know!!! But truss mi sitting pon dis 'ere side addi fence ain't any sweeter...Jus more hurry up and rascl**t wait! Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrps <kiss teet> Mi feel as if mi inna one huge waiting room and the rahtid nurse neva aguh call mi name!!! :angry::lol:

:luv: Ok, here is my interpretation:

I hear you man, I hear you! But trust me, sitting on this side of the fence ain't any sweeter. Just more hurry up and rasclaat wait! I feel as if I'm in one huge waiting room and the *** nurse is never gonna call my name!

How did I do? Not sure what rahtid means, but assuming it's a form of cuss word! Unless you mean rotten? Hey, maybe I can work for JA Embassy as a Patois translator!!! :lol: Seriously, except for one or two words, I understand everything you guys write in Patois. I wish I could understand and speak it better in person!

I wouldn't mind some sort of conference call with Patois. But, no writing. I don't know why; but the written Patois does give me a headache.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Gwaan tru, Jawi :lol: !!! I think it's a shame that in our schools we frown on the native dialect. But I think, just like the weed, the upper echelons of our society are beginning to embrace it more and learning to appreciate the culture for all that it is and has to offer.

First and foremost. Happy Earthday Rhonda! Like Jonesie said...enjoy nuff rooksing fe me tuh. Lackasex ago ded mi. :help:

Translation: Enjoy enough grown people dancing for me too. Lackofsex is going to kill me. :help:

Second. Mi gyal KK yuh nuh heasy atall! Ah nuh joke ting dis... Gwaan tru mi gyal. Congrats! Link we likkle more (nuff rooksing a gwaan tonight) :devil:

Translation: My girl KK, you are not easy at all. This is not a joke.... Go through my girl (giving her props for the speedy arrival). Come talk to us when you can (enough grown people dancing with be going on tonight) :devil:

Congratulations on the other approvals/visas as well. I'm all excited like it's happening to me.

I agree JaTam...patois is such as integral part of your culture and history. I do understand the importance of discouraging its use in school because it is not a formal language, and some children never hear Queens English at home. I think your history and culture is so rich, and it embodies so much passion and pride. I love it.

Jonesie, you know how I feel about the whole Beenie Man and D'Devil thing. She came in and broke up our happy home. Beenie Man tried to give me the sweet lyrics again with Back it Up....but I am not a punk, and he will never have my heart again (at least I won't admit it in public). :lol:

Mi 'ear yuh Mon,Mi 'ear yuh! Jah know!!! But truss mi sitting pon dis 'ere side addi fence ain't any sweeter...Jus more hurry up and rascl**t wait! Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrps <kiss teet> Mi feel as if mi inna one huge waiting room and the rahtid nurse neva aguh call mi name!!! :angry::lol:

:luv: Ok, here is my interpretation:

I hear you man, I hear you! But trust me, sitting on this side of the fence ain't any sweeter. Just more hurry up and rasclaat wait! I feel as if I'm in one huge waiting room and the *** nurse is never gonna call my name!

Hey, maybe I can work for JA Embassy as a Patois translator!!! :lol: Seriously, except for one or two words, I understand everything you guys write in Patois. I wish I could understand and speak it better in person!

You are too cute Rhonda. You got the translation perfect. Patois is not taught in Jamaican schools, and I have heard that the teacher frowns upon the use during learning activities. Of course, I didn't go to school in Jamaica so I can only go by what I have been told by Jamaicans in Jamaica. There is no right or wrong way to spell in patwah which is why a lot of Jamaicans will say they have trouble reading it, and it gives them a headache.

I have become acclimated with reading it and typing from another website. I have been a member for seven years. I can understand it spoken very well, and Jamaicans are only convinced when they hear me respond without saying "huh? What? Repeat it again? Say it slower". I just don't trust myself to speak it, and I am extremely shy in my small attempts to speak it because I don't want to be laughed at. Jamaicans already laugh at me because I have a Southern drawl...LOL...imagine me adding that and the Jamaican lilt. Would not be good in my opinion. LOL :lol:

When I first started understanding it verbally, it began from me recognizing words that I had seen written and sounded out.

I had the same experience you had with the guys talking about women and sex in patois. However, one guy was talking to my sweetie about me. It wasn't mean...but it was rude about what he would like to do with me. I was flirting with my sweetie and licked his ice cream cone, oblivious to the fact that this guy was watching.

My sweetie knew that I was going to defend myself...so he didn't say a word and just looked at me with a evil grin on his face. Then, when I went off and told the guy that he needs to ask his mother how he should conduct himself around a real woman and some other things I can't repeat here, my sweetie burst out laughing LOUDLY. He said he knew it was coming and he wanted to see the guy's reaction. Well, the guy was trying to apologize and so forth, and we all laughed about it and how shocked he looked when I responded.

Feel free to PM me if you want to practice with me. I don't mind. You can practice writing it by responding to me in patois, and I will tell you if it's not right or just a little off.

Eeeeehhhnnnn???...yuh brite, rude, facety an outta orda...chat bout. *laaaang dutty kiss teet* I and I his wan empress of Haile Selassie! I and I conduct myself as such. JJJJJAAAHHH Rastafari!!!!!

I hear you man, I hear you! But trust me, sitting on this side of the fence ain't any sweeter. Just more hurry up and rasclaat wait! I feel as if I'm in one huge waiting room and the *** nurse is never gonna call my name!

How did I do? Not sure what rahtid means, but assuming it's a form of cuss word! Unless you mean rotten? Hey, maybe I can work for JA Embassy as a Patois translator!!! :lol: Seriously, except for one or two words, I understand everything you guys write in Patois. I wish I could understand and speak it better in person!

You are too cute Rhonda. You got the translation perfect. Patois is not taught in Jamaican schools, and I have heard that the teacher frowns upon the use during learning activities. Of course, I didn't go to school in Jamaica so I can only go by what I have been told by Jamaicans in Jamaica. There is no right or wrong way to spell in patwah which is why a lot of Jamaicans will say they have trouble reading it, and it gives them a headache.

I have become acclimated with reading it and typing from another website. I have been a member for seven years. I can understand it spoken very well, and Jamaicans are only convinced when they hear me respond without saying "huh? What? Repeat it again? Say it slower". I just don't trust myself to speak it, and I am extremely shy in my small attempts to speak it because I don't want to be laughed at. Jamaicans already laugh at me because I have a Southern drawl...LOL...imagine me adding that and the Jamaican lilt. Would not be good in my opinion. LOL :lol:

When I first started understanding it verbally, it began from me recognizing words that I had seen written and sounded out.

I had the same experience you had with the guys talking about women and sex in patois. However, one guy was talking to my sweetie about me. It wasn't mean...but it was rude about what he would like to do with me. I was flirting with my sweetie and licked his ice cream cone, oblivious to the fact that this guy was watching.

My sweetie knew that I was going to defend myself...so he didn't say a word and just looked at me with a evil grin on his face. Then, when I went off and told the guy that he needs to ask his mother how he should conduct himself around a real woman and some other things I can't repeat here, my sweetie burst out laughing LOUDLY. He said he knew it was coming and he wanted to see the guy's reaction. Well, the guy was trying to apologize and so forth, and we all laughed about it and how shocked he looked when I responded.

Feel free to PM me if you want to practice with me. I don't mind. You can practice writing it by responding to me in patois, and I will tell you if it's not right or just a little off.

Eeeeehhhnnnn???...yuh brite, rude, facety an outta orda...chat bout. *laaaang dutty kiss teet* I and I his wan empress of Haile Selassie! I and I conduct myself as such. JJJJJAAAHHH Rastafari!!!!!
