My

"Mi" is one of the most versatile and commonly used words in Jamaican Patois. It functions as the first-person singular pronoun, meaning it can translate to “I,” “me,” or “my” in Standard English, depending on how it’s used in a sentence. Unlike English, which uses separate words (I for subject, me for object, and my for possessive), Patois simplifies all of these into one word: "mi."

Patois: Mi luv di colah blue.
English: I love the color blue

Your

Patois: Yu hair look gud.
