Meaning
Going to — the Patois marker for the future tense, placed before a verb. 'Mi ago come' means 'I'm going to come'; 'it ago rain' means 'it's going to rain'. It is one of the core grammar words that build Patois's tense system, from 'a' (is/at) plus 'go'.
Examples
-
Mi ago do it tomorrow.
I'm going to do it tomorrow.
-
Wah yuh ago seh to dem?
What are you going to say to them?
-
It ago rain, look pon di sky.
It's going to rain, look at the sky.
Origin
From 'a' (the Patois progressive/locative particle) plus 'go' — literally 'a-go', marking future intention, much like English 'going to'.
How it’s used
A core future-tense marker before a verb ('mi ago...'). Also heard 'aguh'. A grammatical building block of Patois.
