Welcome to E-com's version of Ebonics.
We will go over 32 highly requested slang words and phrases you may have heard spoken among Black people.
These words are used for the sole purpose of better understanding your favorite Black movies and musical artists.
We highly recommend that you do not use these words in daily conversation,
especially when you're conversing with Black people.
But, you can enjoy learning Ebonics and improve your understanding of Black speech
and learn more about Black culture with this lesson.
I hope this will be a stepping stone into learning more about Black culture.
Everyone ready? Let's begin.
Today's word/phrase: aight.
Now, usually aight is very self-explanatory.
It just means, "Do you understand? Is it okay? Is it all right?"
But, you can also use the word "K".
Aight? K?
K meaning OK. We just cut the O off of OK, and just went, "K?"
Now, so you can do it properly, the conversational situation.
Yo, yo, yo. Stay right there Aight!!!{K!!!}
I got it, I got it…
Hey man, Whacha gonna do with that thing?!!!
I’ma gonna make my girl smile with this ~~~aight!!!
Understand?
Well, let's go through these real quickly-like.
First situation, telling his boy, "Yo, stay right there. Just hold up. Wait, just stay right there, OK?"
Instead of saying OK, saying to his boy, "Do you understand? Okay?"
you just say, "Stay right there, K?" and his boy said, "I got it. I got it."
Second example, he's talking to his man, "Yo! What is this thing you got here?"
It could be a ring, it can be some kind of food he cooked for her, something special he made for her.
And he said, "Yo man, whatcha gonna do with that thing?"
And his friend says, "I'm gonna make my girl smile with this, aight!!"
Do you understand me?
Simple and plain.
Got it? Good.
Until next time, I'll hit you up with more Ebonics.
I'm out. Peace.
