The Kind

I had a kinda bad day today, so wen decide foa go back and read Lika’s Log foa cheer up. I wen go back to her very first post! She can always make me laff.

In dat first post, she stay talkin about “da kine”, and how da teacha said was supposed to be “the kind”. “Yeah, right!”, I wen think. And from dea wen staht for make up da most ridiculous sentences I could using “the kind” foa “da kine”. Lemme tell u, I no feel so bad nomo!

EX:

“Eh, try hand me the kind.”

“Eh Lika, try the kind da light, k?”

“Eh, u like go the kind tomorrow oa wat?”

“Eh Lurkah! Try the kind da the kind befoa u hele outa hea.”

Ho! I stay on one the kind roll, yeah?

“The kind” indeed.

Some peeps jass got no class.

“The kind” oni belongs in sentences lidis:

“The kind man fed the lost dog and took it home.”

“The kind teacher gave me an A even though I missed the last question.”

K’den. I’m off foa think up moa the kind.

    I think “da kine” is the general pidgin noun/adjective, and “li’ dat” is the general pidgin adverb.

    Oa: “Eh, hakum u da kine lidat?”
