you better record a quick vocaroo so I know how it's pronounced with a Jamaican accent

luckily for you I don't have to do a vocaroo because jamaican creole is entirely phonetic.
the "i" in jamaican patois is like the "ee" in english "free"
the "e" in jamaican patois is like the "é" in french "thé"
the "u" in jamaican patois is like the "oo" in english "boot"
everything else is pretty standard. "h" makes the obvious sound, "n" makes the obvious sound, "t" makes the obvious sound. "s" makes the obvious sound, "L" makes the obvious sound. remember jamaican patois is based partly from english, so it borrows a TON
jamaican patois is really simple to pronounce once you learn all of the letters and their corresponding pronunciations. that's the blessing of it. it literally takes no more than 3 months to learn, that's how simple it is :celstial3:
its such a perfect talk show lmao
