Meaning: “Unnuh” is a Jamaican Patois term used to refer to a group of people, equivalent to the English “you all” or “you guys.” It is commonly used to address or speak to more than one person. This term is widely used in both casual conversations and more energetic settings, such as during performances or events where a speaker engages the crowd.

Example in a sentence:
“so wave unnuh hand if you with me.”
This translates to “Wave your hands if you’re with me,” where the speaker is addressing a group of people and encouraging them to participate.

Real estate context: In a real estate meeting or event, a speaker might say, “Unnuh ready for dis new project?” to ask if the group of potential clients or team members is ready to move forward with a new development, highlighting the use of “Unnuh” to engage and include the group in the conversation.
