Are In Jamaican
To say "are" in Jamaican the word "ah" is often used. We'll give some examples of the word "ah" being used.
In Jamaican dialect "ah" means "are."
Here are a few examples:
Dem ah - They are
Wi ah - We are
Dem ah guh guh - They are going to go ("ah guh" means "are going" or "are going to").
Wi ah guh guh - We are going to go
To say "am" (as in I am) the word "ah" is also used.
Example:
mi
ah - I am
mi ah guh guh - I am going to go
With
practice you should be able to distinguish between the use of "ah"
when used to mean "are" and "ah" when used to
mean "I am." A hint is that when we say "I am"
the "ah" is preceded by the word "mi."
