Key Grammar Structures
-
LOOK HOW YOU MAKE ME FEEL
➔ Causative construction: make + object + base verb
➔ In this sentence the verb "make" is used as a causative. The pattern is "make + object + base verb", meaning the subject causes the object to perform the action. Here "YOU" cause "ME" to "FEEL".
-
YOU NA TAKE BACK CHAT
➔ Negative auxiliary "na" (Jamaican Patois) = "don't" in simple present
➔ The word "na" functions as a negative auxiliary in Jamaican Patois. It corresponds to the English "don't" when forming a simple‑present negative: "YOU NA TAKE" → "you don't take".
-
IF YA THINK SAY MI DROP IT
➔ First‑condition clause with "if" + present simple; verb "say" used as complement after "think"
➔ The sentence begins with the conditional "IF" followed by the present‑simple verb "YA THINK" (you think). After the verb "think" the complement "SAY" introduces the reported content: "you think that I will drop it".
-
I KNOW DISS BLOOD LINE
➔ Simple present verb "know" followed by a noun phrase; omission of complementizer "that"
➔ The verb "know" is used in the simple present. The clause "DISS BLOOD LINE" functions as a noun phrase object. In standard English a complementizer "that" would normally appear ("I know **that** this blood line…"), but it is omitted here.
-
YOU MUST MAD
➔ Modal verb "must" + adjective indicating obligation or strong assumption
➔ The modal "must" expresses a strong belief or obligation. In this sentence it is followed by the adjective "mad" meaning "angry", so the meaning is "you are definitely angry" or "you have to be angry".
-
ME NAH COME FI PLAY
➔ Negative "NAH" + verb phrase "come for + infinitive" expressing purpose; present simple
➔ "NAH" works as a negative particle (equivalent to "don't"). The structure "come for + infinitive" shows purpose: "ME NAH COME FI PLAY" → "I don't come to play".
-
ANY MAN ME A TAKE
➔ Progressive aspect marked by "a" (Jamaican Patois) = "am/is/are + verb‑ing"
➔ In Jamaican Patois the particle "a" after a subject marks the present progressive. "ME A TAKE" corresponds to standard English "I am taking".
-
LOOK HOW YOU MAKE ME GET AGGRESSIVE
➔ Causative "make" + object + base verb + adjective (double causative)
➔ The verb "make" is followed by the object "ME" and the base verb "GET" which itself takes the adjective "AGGRESSIVE". This creates a double‑causative meaning: you cause me to become aggressive.
-
WHEN DON TOUCH ROAD
➔ Simple present for habitual action; subject‑verb agreement with proper name
➔ The clause uses the simple present "WHEN DON TOUCH" to describe something that happens regularly. "DON" is a proper name, so the verb does not take a third‑person "s" ending (as in "DON touches").
