Meaning
Seh — 'say', one of the busiest little words in Patois. Beyond 'to say' ('wa him seh?'), it works as a conjunction meaning 'that', linking clauses where English uses 'that': 'mi know seh yuh tired' (I know that you're tired), 'him tell mi seh him a come'. This clause-linking 'seh' is a core grammar feature.
Examples
-
Mi hear seh dem a come.
I heard that they're coming.
-
Wa yuh a seh to mi?
What are you saying to me?
Origin
From 'say'; also a complementiser meaning 'that'. See [[a-seh]], [[tell]].
How it’s used
