Yeah this is basically Caribbean dialect that we all on some level speak but in different ways and terms but people from outside the Caribbean have a hard time understanding us cause we speak kinda of fast
Louisiana has always given me some Carribean vibes, the accent, the culture, it's like Louisiana was misplaced in America but should have been in Caribbean 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
My Great grandmother from French Martiníque, so she spoke patoís. But the world is slowly becoming a melting pot, just like T&T.
"Together We Aspire, Together We Achieve."
Born and raised 🇺🇸. Still 🇹🇹 to di 🦴
We are the same people dropped off in different ports. The most rebellious enslaved peoples were sent to caribbean mainly Jamaica to be buck broken before being to shipped off to America.
In Nigeria Pigin,
Let us go - make we go
I am - I be
Where are you - where you dey
What is happening - how far or wetin dey happen
You understand? - you get, you know
We use proper English when we are being formal or speaking professionally.
"Yuh undastand!?" Is one they missed. Used heavily in T&T when someone's trying to explain something. Similar to "Know what I'm sayin'?", or "nah mean". 🇹🇹
There's a place in Trinidad called Moruga and in Moruga a village name 5th company after an American battalion of black soldiers, the people that live there now are the descendants of those soldiers... A lot of Caribbean people have American Ancestry
Very happy to see this
Some of this is slang but other aspects are words in our dialect
I believe our dialects have impacted each other but I think it may be West African to speak quickly and easily, so many letters are removed and words are combined.
Much like in America, our dialect is seen as improper and not used in professional settings.
We still under mental slavery, colonization still has a hold on us.
It took me moving to Jamaica (and becoming less ignorant) to appreciate my dialect as what it is, the language of my ancestors and forefathers, born out of the necessity for people of numerous backgrounds to communicate and grow.
English is not called broken Latin nor improper French
My dialect is *NOT* improper.
I will no longer call it broken English because it is *NOT* broken
It has some English words but it also has French, African, Indian and many other influences, it is something entirely separate and unique to Trinbago (even though other dialects may have similar words).
Whether you speak it or not, does not define your intelligence.
I believe the same about AAVE/Ebonics (please correct me if I'm wrong). It is it's own dialect/language and needs to be seen and valued as such.
Is the same way Jamaicans speak and the Caribbean so can learn the island language that is the good thing about this 👍👍👍
No it isn't
@@negust1994 it's similar thou
True but the English speaking dialect in the west indies isn't same
Don't study mi, is Jamaican, cyah, yuh think it easy, yuh understand is standard English-ish, doh have no behaviour or Broughtupsy
Love this video. Thanks guys. One thing I can tell you about trini accent we don’t stress on our vowels like other accent in the Caribbean.
Yeah if you understand certain carribean countries dialect you'll pick up Nigerian pidgin. I didn't notice until watching Nollywood films. I'm from Toronto and majority of black people are West Indian. Some African too depending on communities but you can always tell by the last names. Nobodys ever called me African Canadian even though we are more connected to our African roots from food, to music, to language. There's also 13 countries in the west indies/Caribbean so it's more diverse than what you may think.
Some of the Trinidad pronunciations are rooted in the french pronunciations. We don't pronounce the h in th words and drop the last letter of some words. We pronounce three as tree, thread and tread, etc. People do speak differently in more formal settings.
Fun fact: Trinis have Parrans and Nanans and they "make groceries" too instead of going shopping for them...just like us in Louisiana.
🤯 We found our people,fam!
I'm from Trinidad and my great grandfather on my dad's side came from New Orleans.
This is not slang maam. This is how we speak. Part of of Creole English. Our West and Central African, Spanish, French Creole, Indian, British and Native languages.
Talking to my Trini friends is not easy... I love their accent but the words/phrase can mean something opposite to me. Bajans talk too fast. Each island has creole, accent, slangs that are so unique but we sorta can understand. We talk a lot with our tone, facial expression and inflections rather than the actual words.
Hopefully we can rely on GoogleTranslate😅🫠
@The Demouchets REACT nah google translate doesn't understand trini slang 😅
This doesn’t give us any hope😂
@The Demouchets REACT lol although there is a Wikipedia page with trinidadian slangs. It's really helpful!
We well just write it down 🇧🇧
Another interesting Video,the similarities are very common and have almost the same meaning,nice sharing
"How far..." Lol! Love it!
Lool I ain't Trini but this is exactly how I speak 😂😂😂😂😂. The dialect in the Caribbean is pretty much the same.
Not really, we all have our individual dialects
@@trini2DBone134 Yh, but what I meant was that majority of the words/format we use are similar
But we all have our individual dialects which are different and only unique to that particular island
@@nita4688 We do have our own dialect, if its similar its because we use dialect unique to other Caribbean islands based on shared music, etc.
We actually have quite a few words and phrases in common with Caribbean folks even the way we pronounce certain words especially vowels
Don’t make joke, or more often, “yuh making joke”, has nothing to do with a joke. If someone said, Trump was indicted , and you know he’s been like Teflon, you’d respond with, “ yuh making joke”.
Louisiana reminds me of the Caribbean. You guys in Louisiana have districts and we also have districts in Jamaica. There are also a few other similarities that I saw.
I love this video, good one guys.
But then again I love all your video.
Blessings flow.
Doh have no behaviour... In Nigeria we say " you no get manners "
Jamaicans would say “yuh nah no manners” or yuh nuh av no manners”
Hearing these phrases having me cracking up🤣
I am told we Trinis have an accent. We don't realise it because .
Wunna should try barbados🇧🇧🇧🇧
Oh wow... I hear some Nigerian "pigin" or slang as you would say.
He kept saying " you go say" and that's Nigerian too. Means "you would say"
We can switch it up ,if we are having a professional conversation.
Do belize acccent and slangs 🇧🇿 similar to jamaican patwah
Funny
Interesting
In Barbados we wud say wa part u is? Meanin where are u ?
we say that in trinidad too 😊
@@trini2DBone134 huh good to know☺☺
Jamaicans say weh yuh deh meaning where are you.
Tobagonians say the same thing. TnT is diverse. The country side of both islands speak different dialects. People from town find it difficult to understand.
You should react to Nigerian pidgin
Will do.
doh hot yuh head or we say doh beat up
Where's the Jamaica content at tho??
We have a Jamaica video lined up for tomorrow,fam.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT do a slang video also
They have lots of Jamaican videos!
@@isomario am up to date with all of them till am watching them over
@@TheDemouchetsREACT ua-cam.com/video/k62UTecb5Lg/v-deo.html
Here's a suggested slang video to react to
I think your name is French so it should be pronounced "deu moo-shay"
Our last name is French, but we are not of French heritage so we will continue pronouncing it the way my husband's family has always pronounced it.
