Numero001 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Dont know. Boasty just sounds like suttin Jamaicans make up like worser and worserer that express what they mean a whole lot betterAlso if you aint in passa passa (mix-up) then Jamaica is a very safe place to walk unless your going to or through garrison's. We used to go through Moutain View but truesay it was election time and the two parties followers are split by one road we had to go the long way. Apart from that its bless. People nt gonna rob you in your car or nuttin at traffic lights like say South Africa or Brazil for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooni Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Am half Jamaican but find it difficult to understand. Can be quite agreesive too, Jamaicans speaking loudly scare me, as do the Scottish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brukfoot Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 From experience of tv/videos it's easier to understand what other Caribbean peaople are saying than what Jamaicans are, but when I went round my Montserratian bredrin's yard I couldn't understand a word that his mum said, I can slightly understand what my Jamaican barber says though, but sometimes I just get lost.

Lee Van Cleef Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I watched top shottas and I understood what they were saying despite never socialising with jamaicans... is the patois in that film toned down ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scared of who? Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I can slightly understand what my Jamaican barber says though, but sometimes I just get lost.I know them ones. The thing is he always asks if you understand. Always takes at least 3 attempts to clock.Still Jamaican chat is nothing compared to Sierre Leone or Liberian. Can never understand them people.

FACE OFF Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 it was a dumb question plain and simple clearly its done as TOURISTS who dont understand patois can still view with subtitles you dimwit.for someone that rolls his tongue in conversations and has the hardest language to understand i would of thought you would understand that.
