Various items and actions have also been given their own names that either vaguely resemble or reflect corruptions of their names in standard English. «Come now now» translates into «Come right now.» There is also a tendency among older speakers toward replacing «-er» and its corresponding sound with «-a» for example, «computer» becomes to «computa» and «river» becomes «riva». For example, «Dis wata de col col» translates into «This water is very cold». It is common in Guyanese Creole to repeat adjectives and adverbs for emphasis (the equivalent of adding «very» or «extremely» in standard British and American English), a phenomenon also attested in Polynesian languages.

For example, along the Rupununi River, where the population is largely Amerindian, a distinct form of Guyanese Creole exists. There are many sub-dialects of Guyanese Creole based on geographical location, urban - rural location, and race of the speakers.
