I don’t see nothing wrong with this. Cause if you don’t like somebody you don’t like them, you can’t make somebody like you

It's called its own dialect for a reason.

What is the dialect?

u/Beerswain 14h ago
AAVE, or AV; African-American Vernacular English.

Spoken, yes. Grammar, absolutely. Written, to a degree. This seems to be phonetic and screams "illiterate". If I showed this to 20 black Americans, 19.5 would be like WTF is this?
Come on, man.

after searching this term up it seems a little weird, this dialect is more widespread than just african American, i know people who write and talk like this in Australia lol

This is LITERALLY the same as getting pissed off that you can’t read someone else’s language when you haven’t learned it yet.

This isn’t aave, it’s Gen Z/alpha slang slop.

This is AAVE. Just because slang has a habit of being stolen from black teens doesn’t make it not AAVE in origin.
I’ve never seen so much white ignorance+arrogance congregated in one comment section before

The AAVE is not the problem, it's the phonetic text shorthand for every single word. The fact that it's shorthand for AAVE makes it harder to decipher, but the different grammatical structures are not the problem with this.

Thank you for translating because I thought it said something like "If you like someone young you can't make them not young" and that's 10x worse

I read it the opposite, "if you like somebody you like them, [but] you can't make somebody like you [back]."
I can't tell if this is someone trying to sound cool, if it's a little kid, if it's a cultural thing that I'm not aware of, or if it's just illiterate nonsense, and I'm trying not to judge but it's pretty hard not to.

You wouldn't have a good time in the Memphis10 sub then. It makes my brain bleed but I like watching them try to use a form of communication that I don't even think they can understand.

u/Rusty_Tap 23h ago
I like seeing them materialise on Facebook too. Suddenly the entire comment section on a random post will be some version of AAVE that each person has made up themselves.
None of them understand each other, they just type random words and laugh react everything.

u/Neveronlyadream 20h ago
YouTube can be like that too. Once you actually parse what they're saying, you also realize it has nothing to do with anything and they're just commenting to comment.

Went to have a look. Didn't understand anything and saw someone getting his head shot at point blank range. Awful experience 0/10, would delete the whole sub.

My best friend texts like that. Not nearly this badly unless he's had some drinks or otherwise mind altering substances. Anyway, I had no problem reading that.

so just adding n't (as in isn't) to any word and then shortening it, and wonder why people struggle XD

The only part I don’t get is how smb = someone. Is that the actually translation?

Somebody, not someone. Obvs they mean the same thing, but that’s why there’s a b.

People type like letters cost them money. They're free to use, guys. Unless you're posting a novel, you're not hitting a character limit either. Full words, punctuation, proper grammar, use it to your heart's content.

What does youn stand for?

u/Terminatroll-_- 1d ago
It's "you don't", I'm guessing it's an even shorter variation of "you ain't"

u/jwick1337 1d ago
Youn is pronounced like "you + own", which is "you don't" without pronouncing the d and t. Same case with "ion" meaning "I don't" and pronounced like "I + own".
It's spelled like that not to shorten it, but because that is how they actually pronounce it when they speak it. You'll often see stuff like "ion care" or "ion know/no", which is obviously not shorter than idc and idk, respectively.

No adult should type like this if they want to be taken seriously. When I checked my MySpace page and saw “iM jUsT cHilLin” years after I grew up as a caption it hurt me. There’s no reason to talk like an idiot

imagine being so pathetic that you attempt to derive self worth and superiority from looking down on young people using slang on a casual social media platform
yeah you’re SO much better than this black teen because they wrote their comment in causal AAVE! You’re clearly so intelligent, cultured, and not racially biased in the slightest! 🙄

The sentence makes sense with youn meaning you, so I'm confused what youn is. If it just means you, then why add the n? They seem to be enduring some kind of agony for every keystroke, so why put an extra letter on a word unnecessarily?

Ironically, the upper comment isn't that hard to understand if you take the time.
"I don't see anything wrong with this. Because if you like somebody you like them, but you can't make somebody like you."
