How to Speak like a Rasta Man: Top 10 Rastafarian and Phrases

In this video we will explore the top 10 words and phrases used by Rastafarians.

Popular Rastafarian words and phrases

The Rastafarian language is actually much easier to learn than Jamaican Patois because it’s mostly a play on English words (e.g. “overstand” for “understand”,“downpress” for “oppress”,“ I-ditate” for “meditate” etc…) rather than being an entirely separate dialect as with Jamaican Patois.
