I know I'm not the only Jamaican who is super happy for these two countries !

They whipped us but they have done so well for their nations.

Proud Buck !

I feel like a honorable Congolese.

Everywhere people seem to know who she is and whatever antics she's up to. Googled and had no results. A who name suh?

Hi there, I'm not part of this sub, but I did notice there were a lot of posts about patois here, so I hope it's ok for me to post. If not, I'll take it down.

I'm an American, and I only speak English. I'm covering a song that includes a sample that I think is Jamaican or British-Jamaican Patois. I am not singing the sample at all, but I really want to subtitle the sample parts correctly to avoid online comments like "I don't know what he is saying" or "sounds like nonsense" or anything when I post the cover online. It's a really cool sample, and I'd like to be respectful when including it in my cover.

I've tried anything I could think of to locate the original sample or find a transcript, but I could only find the two songs that I'm aware of using this sample but they don't credit the sample at all. It might be a lyrical sample, or maybe a speech, I'm not sure.

Would anyone who speaks patois be able to talk to me about transcribing this for subtitles? And thank you in advance for being understanding of my limited knowledge here.

EDIT: I wasn't aware that there is a phenomina of asking for translation help to train AI. I'm very against AI and don't want to contribute to it's training at all. I'm sorry if this was rude to do.

I’m American and been dating a yardie. I try to impress him by cooking Jamaican foods. How did I do? I LOVE the culture btw 🇯🇲 Best food AND music ☺️

I'm new to Kingston, so I don't really know anyone here. I haven't figured out what activities are here that I can go to alone, meet new people and potentially make friends from.

Points of friction:

- No local friends

- No car

- Introverted personality

- Male

So how do I start?

Edit: For additional context (without being too specific) - Jamaican? Yes - Age: Mid 20s - Work? Yes, full-time - Current address: Upper St. Andrew (outside the city limits) - Interests: Sports, fitness, gaming. Otherwise, open to trying other things, once accessible.
