What is the meaning of jamaican word cooyah?

"Cooyah" is not a recognized Jamaican word. It's possible you're thinking of a similar-sounding word, or it might be a slang term used in a specific region or community.

Here are some possibilities:

* "Coo-yah": This is a common exclamation in Jamaican patois, often used to express excitement, encouragement, or approval. It's similar to "hooray" or "yeah!"

* "Cooyah" as a mispronunciation: It's possible you've heard a word like "coya" or "coyaba" mispronounced. "Coya" can mean "shy" or "cowardly," while "coyaba" refers to a type of tropical fruit.

If you can provide more context or an example of how you've heard the word used, I may be able to give a more accurate answer.
