Question

How to understand the structure of this sentence"I  know what them girls like "
say it in english or Chinese

Answer

Cool rap. So here it means those girls or 'they girls' like 'what do YOU guys like', 'what do they boys want'.

Answer

This is bad English .The correct sentence should be "I know what those girls like", but some native-speakers have a poor grasp of their own language and don't always know or respect the rules. In the UK, this kind of phrase has almost become accepted as "correct" among some sections of the working class.
