a thread of phrases that are aave and a lot of nb be saying ir not knowing it’s aave making this hopefully most my mutuals will pay attention too and don’t say black people are hate keeping because we’re really not 😕
before i start aave means african american vernacular english, and why non black people cant say it because us black people been told it’s not the right way to speak english or it’s the incorrectly way of speaking and it’s just blantly racist to see nb people using aave
and everyone always says it’s gen z language it’s not.. so stop saying it’s gen z language now without being said here’s a list of words or phrases that are aave (from what i know if you’re black pls tell me more what’s aave n what’s not so i can add onto this!!)
- chile (this is extremely aave i see lots of non black people saying this)
- ghetto
- sis
- bae
- it’s the __ for me
- da
- rachet
- hella
- finna
- period
- yass
- edges laid
- stank
- salty
there’s still a bunch more that’s just from what i rmr on what’s aave but obviously if i missed something and if you’re black tell me so i can put it in here! sorry i couldn’t use a lot on here but that’s just most phrases that ik are aave!
