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!Leh meh go fuh wok, nah. Ah gonna write a new post just now, fuh true!
