As I’ve said before, one of the many things I will miss when I leave Guyana is chatting with each and every soul whenever I go down the road. And I’m not very good at it… I misunderstand what people say half the time.
Just today this happened:
Insane, init?
I’ll leave you with some of my favourite expressions:
- Night a shut – Night’s falling
- Wapen? – What’s up?
- Ok ok - When you’re walking down the road this is one of the ways of saying hi. And the reply is Yeah yeah.
- Fuh true? Seriously? Really?
- Yuh mekin joke! You’re can’t be serious.
- Just now – This defines a period of time that can range between “this second, as we speak” and “in a decade”. It’s quite a nifty word!
