Jamaican Accent Challenge

Oney is crazy😂

Jamaican nicknames are so blunt its mad lol. I know a tall jamaican and everyone calls him longman 😂

That crosis was personal. She had someone in mind. 😂

“Wassup oney “ caught me off guard 🤣🤣🤣

Oney... "what's up oney?" 💀

“ batty ridaa” had me dying 😭

God i love bein a Jamaican big up🇯🇲✊🏿🇯🇲✊🏿🇯🇲✊🏿🇯🇲✊🏿

"trouble deh deh" sounds similar to Nigerian pidgin's "trouble dey" or "wahala dey" it's so cool

“hey i recently got my leg amputated due to an accide-“ “ONEY”

"BATTY RIDER" for daisy dukes or some kewchie cutters got me cryinnnn😂

It's not just the words. ...It's how she says them, that has me dying as well😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love my Jamaican Brother & Sister's ❤️ Blessings from Black America

Instead of "you dig" it should be "yuh zimi" or "yuh zeet".

She say Craaaaawsiz strong eeh😂😂

“Y’unnastand” would be the correct translation for “you understand” if my patois serves me correctly!!😂😂😂

In Jamaica any person with one eye, one arm, one leg is named “oney”. Every Indian or Indian decent person is named…”Indian”. Every Chinese or Chinese descent person is named “Mr chin or Ms chin”.

“You dig” only said by Jamaicans trying to twang 😂

BOMBACLAAT 🗣️🔥

Some persons are saying that "hush" is a form of tough love. However, in the Jamaican language, "hush" is not tough love. In our language it's a comforting word. It expresses  comfort,  understanding and even concern.  We often say "hush yah" or "hush mi dear heart". It's like saying "it's ok, don't worry about it, I understand how you feel", while rubbing someone's back to comfort them. In fact, if a baby falls and hurt his hand. He would go to the parent crying. The parent will comfort the child and say "hush mi dear heart" and kiss the baby's hand.  So there's no negativity or tough love attached to the word "hush" in the Jamaican language. It has a totally different meaning from "hush" in America and other Caribbean countries. "Hush" for us is a word of endearment, comfort and support.

I study Speech and language at Uni, and even tho I may not know the Jamaican words, it's moreso the tone and intonation which suggest the meaning behind the word. Interesting to listen to. 😊❤
