<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: diabolical_Tanya</div><div class="ubbcode-body">my opinion is that the different parish's have different word/phrases of patios based on the language of the people who settled there. the West coast had a large German influx so naturally some of their words would have been adopted. whether the context is correct or not I don't know

Did you know that the dutch/afrikaaners use the word Wratig (unsure of the spelling) in the same way that we use the word Rhaatid? </div></div>


A Bredrin recently told me that rhaatid is really from wroughted...
Also told me awhoa is from the Ethiopian awo

To know that I would have to know if my grandmother used it or if she picked it up later. I will have to listen to my aunt and cousins more carefully.

I did tell her that there was no such thing as nain and she was just making stuff up.

Re: Incorrect Patois?

Tanyer you know the Brown's Town ppl all over the &quot;ben deh&quot; and them other words

I'm from St Ann and yep I use nain all the time.

I know St Bess have it's reputation but Mobay ppl

I actually like the variations in patois and don't ever want to see it standardized. For the most part I do understand what different people are saying.

Re: Incorrect Patois?

Mek mi seh...
Has there ever been a complete lexicon of patois?
The joy of patois is its inconsistency but general meaning.
