Rastafarian Patois Lexicon - Sayings

Hello dear Dreadbag friends,

Today we would like to introduce you to our small but nice Rastafarian “Jamaica” Patois Lexicon. Here you will find a lot of Jamaican patois vocabulary and translations from A to Z. All Rastafarian / Patois translations have been translated into English by us. Afterwards we added a lot of Jamaican patois idioms so that you can express yourself better / more understandably on your next Jamaica vacation or stay or even understand it at all. Sometimes that's really not that easy! Our tip: If you didn't understand everything the first time, don't hesitate to ask again. Just say you are interested in the country Jamaica and the language patois and would like to learn patois better. No Jamaican or Rastafarian will tear your head off and if you are lucky you will learn a few “funny” new patois phrases from them. 😉 We hope you enjoy reading, learning and of course your next Jamaica vacation / stay. Jamaica is fantastic - look forward to Jamaica! We love Jamaica! 🙂

Blessed love - Your Team Dreadbag
