Sorry for the trubba!
I found this on a Sports web site... Of course 'trubba' is "trouble". (Referring to a non-existing anymore web page...)
But, what kind of 'language' is this? Sportesse? :thinking: |
Ebonics?
|
Joke?
|
Mmmm... probably your questions are more on point?
I checked the "urban dictionary" but no joy... Probably could be Ebonics... :thinking: and can be a jokingly manner to say "sorry for the inconvenience"... But I don't know. :thinking: Anyone with an "authoritative" answer? |
Spoken by African Americans, mostly from Southern States. Similar to "bro" or "broduh" for "brother"; "sistah" for "sister". I really love to hear them talk.

Hey, thank you, Vita32!
So, like Ebonics, then. Right? |
JPablo, (me lord, I'm doing a curtsy in greeting!)
Ebonics? I guess so. I was not aware that they call it Ebonics. Learn something new everyday. :) And you're welcome. |
Yes, that's what Chileno asked on his first reply (which kind of made sense, but I was not sure, and since he was asking too, didn't reassured me either...)
Thank you again! (Hey, with so much curtsy and ceremony... I start to feel like the "Little Prince" from Saint-Exupery...) ;) (Although "Lord" is not as high of a rank as "prince"...) :D |
At least you have the luxury of enjoying your aristocratic title without the weight and responsibility of such. :)
|
I asked, because I am not sure if it is ebonic or just some drawl from soemwhere in the country. I know black use it a lot, but then again a lot of the people from the South speak like that, at least to my ears. :)
I guess by now any of the native would've kicked in, specially if I was/were wrong. ;) |
Ain't dat right?
Thank you, Vita32 and Chileno... |
Is there an equivalent expression in Spanish of what (Lord) JPablo has Posted "Ain't dat right? (Is not that right)?
|
Depending on the country, maybe something like:
· ¿Verdad (que sí)? · ¿No es cierto? · ¿No? (This one only in Mexico, I think) · ¡A que sí! |
También:
¿No es así? (Aunque el 'estilo' de "Ain't" es difícil de reproducir...) |
