[newnimprovesT3]

[RawrItsLinzee]

i'm trinidadian and it makes me so mad when people say "oh. it's the same as jamaica" NOOO! its not even close and the accent are different -__-

although i dont live in trini and i've never visited i still say things with and accent because my dad's accent is so strong and i've just grown up around it.

[eastport1000]

I love your video because you gave me some insight into the Trinidadian culture and accent. I am currently in a relationship with a woman from Trinidad and I want to be familiar with her background, so thanks for the video. And it is true Trinidad does have the most beautiful women.

[gotchaman80]

Please tell your people that only a small percentage of Americans (the lower forms) listen to that childish Hip Hop music and that we don't all walk around with our pants around our ankles and we don't all insult women.

[ShardeyDHAShiner]

[chic5644]

[TMSVioloncellist]

BUNGI! I'm not even Trinidadian. My father's family is. My mom's family is Jamaican and they laugh their asses off at me when I come over because I CAN'T speak patois. However, that Trini comes out and I sound decent... Or when I'm pissed off, apparently it's real strong... But anyway, chicky, the point was to say I love how simple things like this have me up laughing at 3:38 in the morning... One love! And Trini 2 De Bone!

[TMSVioloncellist]

Jus like a trini - Curry, man. I ha to ha di curry! And roti!

Curry Joints... Have you ever been to Singh's?

[jahbobby7]

My girl I love the way Trini's speak.I am Jamaican and I think you all have the best accents out of all the West Indian countries. You dont look Indian or doo-gla though. Cant tell, your hair is in cane row. Regardless nice video!!

[merchette14]

What a lovely thing, you have done here. I love to see young people speaking with such thought and admiration of my home country. I am an older person now. And I have lived in America for the greater portion of my life, but I have stayed true to my true voice and dialect. And when someone ask me where I am from when I speak it feels great that I never lost my Trini accent You have done a good thing here, keep it up, you are sweet lovely young lady and I hope broadcasting is in your future.

[EclecticTrebleMaker1]

I love your face :)! You must tell me or show in a video how you did your eye makeup! So beautiful!!!

[JAMiSHNeSS868]

You're too pretty . It's almost unfair . Lol. I thought I spoke like a yankee but when I go anywhere and speak especially in school , EVERYBODY does turn around and look at me to ask "Where are you from ?" or "You trini ?!" Sometimes people just look at me. and Im like HOW DO YOU KNOWW ?!!!!

[trinigyal1988]

@JAMiSHNeSS868 same ting wit me...nuff ppl does jus be able to look at meh an tell...

[AlaysiaRanae]

[thehypnoticbeauty]

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

My mom is trini and so am I her whole side of the family was born there. My grandma and puppa's accent is much stronger than yours :D

[jridley23]

lol "but anyways im a trinny", i thought she said tranny at first

[Jaleesie]

@SweetSincerity lol! awww If I coulda sent you some I would :)

[bIancoitaliano]

@Jaleesie I like to have positive vibes, but I am the type of person who stands my ground also. You got people like Labon who likes to start shit. But anyway, I will do it for you, because it is Christmas-Kwanzaa. I hope you and your family had a nice holiday.

[bIancoitaliano]

Trinidad & Tabago. Trini is mostly Indian descent and Tabago is mostly Afro-Black. It is from what I heard.

[caribbelle]

@bIancoitaliano not really

[buddycal1]

@bIancoitaliano Trinidad and Tobago are both mostly black, but Trinidad has more diversity. Tobago residents are almost entirely black, but Trinidad has a LOT of Indians and Cantonese. Still mostly black though, and alot of the indians and cantonese are MIXED with black, anyways.

[bIancoitaliano]

@buddycal1 True. I was trying to tell Labonnerueroach that, but somebody who comes from the trailer park think they know everything. West Indian and the rest of the caribbean culture is dominated by the Afraconious.

[buddycal1]

@bIancoitaliano Yay! :D An educated person and an intelligent response! There IS hope for the YouTube community!!!

[Jaleesie]

@bIancoitaliano @buddycal1 only positive vibes thanks!! :-D

[MerchantofTarshish]

@buddycal1 See my comment below. Indians are 40.5% aand africans are 37.5%

[vybz099]

@MerchantofTarshish according to who's figure? When was their survey recorded? In trinidad their is a big bias in certain organization to make things appear the way they are not. Imagine I have very strong african feature and yet still people want to call me MIXED! My hair so natural that it's impossible to mistake me for being "biracial". Like I said there are ppl out there that want the country ti look a certain way.

[MerchantofTarshish]

@vybz099 CSO 2000 census

[vybz099]

@MerchantofTarshish this is 2012!

[vybz099]

@bIancoitaliano trinidad has a little more africans than indians. The statistics used by many organizations are really really old.

[bIancoitaliano]

@vybz099 U probably right. but the island still produce alot of pretty girls thats for sure.

[vybz099]

@bIancoitaliano yuh done know!!! No other can be gorgeous like we trini women :)

[MerchantofTarshish]

@vybz099 No there are more indians than africans. The african presence is more urban and the capital is like 90% african. The indians live in north central, cental and south Trinidad and a lot of those southern villages are overwhelmingly indian

[vybz099]

@MerchantofTarshish I live in the south and I can tell you for a fact that most indians are concentrated around the central region. Point fortin, la brea, cedros, rio clara, rousillac, sanfernando (one part of it) and others are dominated by africans. Don't even talk about the northern region so check again.

[vybz099]

@MerchantofTarshish Plus CSO hasn't updated their data and I have never seen them conduct surveys where i live, much less hear about them in the main area. Indians are in central mainly with a lil in the south. Yes they are more africans than indians. However, that's your opinion and you are welcome to it.

[MerchantofTarshish]

@vybz099 A little in the south? you mean deep south. I saw loads in Princes Town, New Grant, Rio Claro[yes i saw lots there], Gasparillo, St. madeleine To me, I only didn't see indians in La Brea but I'm from Arima and rarely go down south

[vybz099]

@MerchantofTarshish nah come again with those places, like we're living in two different trinidad.

[2beautyqueen]

@ Jaleesie sorry sweetie it don't have any pataoes in doubles only chana!

[bIancoitaliano]

True, but in North America, if a pale skin person is of European descent, that person is considered caucasian. So here in the USA, I am white by standards. But I like your way better thank you. Plus I was born in New York.

[bIancoitaliano]

Black women are naturally beautiful. They don't have to be models to be sexy. ps, i am a white.

[crankatorium]

@bIancoitaliano you're not white though, you're eye-talian.

[ladyloc6point]
