Meaning
To see, notice, or — especially in Rastafari speech — to perceive and understand with insight. 'Yuh sight mi?' means 'do you understand me?', and 'sight up' means to grasp or come to realise a truth. Rastafari links inner 'sight' with the exalted 'I'.
Examples
-
Yuh sight wah mi a seh?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
-
Mi sight up di whole plan now.
I understand the whole plan now.
-
Sight! Mi overstand.
I see! I understand.
Origin
From 'sight' (to see), deepened in Rastafari Iyaric to mean inner perception and understanding, tied to spiritual 'I-sight'.
How it’s used
Both to see/notice and, in Rasta speech, to understand ('sight up'). Compare 'seen', 'overstand'.
