For example, When you would normally say.
"I had a good dinner last night"

They would say: "Yo dat joint we ate last night was off da hook"

It takes some time, but after a while, you can pretty much understand most of it.
Just b/c I don't use "jive" doesn't mean I don't understand it. "Joint" refers to the eating establishment and not what was eaten. If you want to show your comprehension of the "jive" or "ebonic" slang, please get it correct. Thank you for playing the game. NEXT!
