it depends on how formal u speak and how much u want to express. if u try to speak like an essay with all complete and grammatically correct sentences and rigorous logical reasoning and full detailed explanations, of course it sounds more complicated. but in real life everyone speaks in a more concise and informal way and we dont always need to explain why we make a certain choice. while u can say "can lah" in singlish when ordering a meal, we can simply say "yup" in english instead of doing a ton of nonsense compliment for the food to show we want to eat it.
it's true haha. I like Singlish but as a foreigner I find it's a bit difficult for foreigners because they mix up the english with malay and many dialects of chinese. let's say in a sentence they can use hokkien with english but in another words they will mix it with teocheow or mandarin or cantonese or even malay. the participle they use to end a sentence even uncanny for some people. maybe some neigbouring tourists from malay and indo can understand about the term of -lah and whatever but they even cannot fully understand the whole singlish.
It's ok to find Singlish confusing at first. Honestly speaking, it's not really something that can be learnt in a class or textbook. Only real life interaction and time can truly 'teach' someone Singlish.
Saw a cartoon recently. You can use 4 languages locally in one sentence in Singapore. Caption : Annek, kopi o dua, kosong , tar pow, please. (Indian, malay, chinese, english) Means: brother, 2 coffee without sugar, take away, please.
Singlish is very unique with combination of Old British and America English blended with Hokkien, Cantonese and Malay accent. Singlish is consider a languages widely used by Singaporean, PR and foreign workers. Singlish should be officially register as new language unique in Asia.
retxeddexterable singaporeans also use some malay words as singlish, and ive also seen afew other races other than hokkien/chinese singaporeans using "ai mai", so technically its still counted
Nah, Singlish is never limited to a specific race. The phrases are simple enough that they can be inserted into any sentence just by knowing the general meaning lol.
i could totally relate to the dude who uses proper english all the time since i usually use the proper term as i was unsure of the singlish terms although my peers use them in school;-;😅😂
Hmmm its a comedy right ,but its not funny ..but i klik the thumb up button for u guys .. Dont forgot , dont skip the ads while u watching guys .help &support them^^
Hey Thomas, De zhong im Jing Rong from the future im from the year 2021 but in 2020 there is a virus called corona and it has affected the lif of all a lot And thomas your future job is working for wah banana and de zhong you work for titan Please heart this comment
no one ever says singlish is the most efficient language in the world. in fact it's probably the most inefficient because no one can understand you, except for yourselves of course
Mcdonalds: Yes/no? Ordering: Sure, fine, OK. Eating: Wow! Traveling: JFK-ORD-LAX (USA coast to coast with connecting flight in Chicago). Reservation: Dibs. How do you say misrepresentation in Singlish?
aimai is just hokkien.singlish is wan anot. and tank?you mean tanking right?like waiting to strike,more for gaming?where got such wrd... could use pon tang(skip class/work) or ton(staying up late/overnight to chill with frds) Also,singlish isnt jus certain words/vocab.sentence structure and accent also play a role...
kpoperapink exoinfinite not really.you have to have a base in english.broken hokkien is still hokkien.alot of these singlish vids fail to show what singlish is but cos its jus mostly hokkien words. eg: we used to use "basket" instead of "cbk"( which is hokkien)
Think of 'liao' as already. E.g. "Eh you full already?" "I full liao" - Same as "I full already". "Watch this movie already?" "Watch liao" - "Watch already". You get the drift.
liao is from chinese word.means (something) is already done. example : eat liao/do homework liao/sleep liao double empahsis example : eat finish liao/shop finish liao/finish nagging liao or not
Liao is a different way of saying the character in Chinese that makes the past tense, 'Le'. 了. Liao is used for emphasis to really emphasise that something is indeed over. For example, 'I finish eat liao.' This means that the speaker has indeed finished eating and wants you to really understand that he has already finished eating.
Can I just say how this is exaggerating English? You could just say ‘the burger is delicious’ or ‘yes, yes, sure’ without spending so much time talking about how nice the Food is.
Speaking proper English does not make you talkative and long winded... Informal speaking and formal writing is different. There's a lot of shortforms in English as well. Anyway yaya papaya la.
Tbh I'm still wondering why tsl has lesser subs that Jian hao
IKR

Anmin Kang I agree. This vid is just exaggerating how English is supposed to be spoken

lemakeup13 but the main thing is we do mix up all languages and it became singlish :)

Chope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sam Liew yup..."chope" is a right word...throw a tissue.pack on.tat table and it is considered as "booked" or taken

i donno abt aimai and tank leh... first time hear that... only tank i know is mmo role..
Ai Mai is a hokkien word for want or not.
yea it's not really singlish if only hokkien singaporeans use it. thesmartlocal really fucked up there.
retxeddexterable singaporeans also use some malay words as singlish, and ive also seen afew other races other than hokkien/chinese singaporeans using "ai mai", so technically its still counted
ad87 aimai...is so common...I never heard of tank
Nah, Singlish is never limited to a specific race. The phrases are simple enough that they can be inserted into any sentence just by knowing the general meaning lol.
nice vid, the dubbing can be done better though, didnt really sync up that well
i could totally relate to the dude who uses proper english all the time since i usually use the proper term as i was unsure of the singlish terms although my peers use them in school;-;😅😂

no one ever says singlish is the most efficient language in the world. in fact it's probably the most inefficient because no one can understand you, except for yourselves of course
haha just from the title.. liked immediately!
Mcdonalds: Yes/no? Ordering: Sure, fine, OK. Eating: Wow! Traveling: JFK-ORD-LAX (USA coast to coast with connecting flight in Chicago). Reservation: Dibs. How do you say misrepresentation in Singlish?
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THE CHOPING PART! Oh man! I head hurts! >.
Please include the bloopers for this. Haha
brazillian portuguese you can make a short and fully detailed sentence with few phonemes
that salted egg burger reviews was i lie though :) HAHAHAHH
Singlish is the shortcut to everything. So long as we can get our points across done.
aimai is just hokkien.singlish is wan anot.
and tank?you mean tanking right?like waiting to strike,more for gaming?where got such wrd...
could use pon tang(skip class/work) or ton(staying up late/overnight to chill with frds)
Also,singlish isnt jus certain words/vocab.sentence structure and accent also play a role...
i frequently use tank and carry in normal conversations!
which era r u from?prolly youngsters make it up now...
kpoperapink exoinfinite
not really.you have to have a base in english.broken hokkien is still hokkien.alot of these singlish vids fail to show what singlish is but cos its jus mostly hokkien words.
eg: we used to use "basket" instead of "cbk"( which is hokkien)
Jacky Chew
nope. singlish in singaporean english aka english mix with other languages.
Jacky Chew
bodoh kambing.then u should have known the larhz word in my name. act smart fail. balek scholah larh.
I think it is a very good vid tsl
we should combine manglish and singlish since both are quiet the same. masinglish? Hahaha 😂
what's the meaning of "liao"? I'm korean and lived in sg for a half year only so still dunno :L
Think of 'liao' as already. E.g. "Eh you full already?" "I full liao" - Same as "I full already". "Watch this movie already?" "Watch liao" - "Watch already". You get the drift.
liao is from chinese word.means (something) is already done.
example : eat liao/do homework liao/sleep liao
double empahsis example : eat finish liao/shop finish liao/finish nagging liao or not
Liao is a different way of saying the character in Chinese that makes the past tense, 'Le'. 了. Liao is used for emphasis to really emphasise that something is indeed over. For example, 'I finish eat liao.' This means that the speaker has indeed finished eating and wants you to really understand that he has already finished eating.
I totally went laughing at the Last scene lol, it is so dam true lol
Wow is that De Zhong?
Is that the macdonalds at Kallang
Even if i speak English, people can still understand what I'm saying.
Is that Mountbatten McDonald's
The McDonald's scene 😂
Singlish is straight forward. English is beating around the bush. Now I believe Singlish is epicient leh......😁
Not "In the world" but in Singapore
I don’t think Singlish itself is bad, but being unable to speak Standard English because of Singlish is what’s bad.
the title dont seem to match the video content leh :/
omg De Zhong😂😂😂
Which mcdonald did u guys go? got curly friese *i suck at spelling
They have Twister Fries at all McDonald's now for a promotional period! #GoodThingsMustShare - Fauzi
what are you, three?
+TheSmartLocal is that Old Airport Road's McDonald?
pokemaster they went to Kallang one.Well I know cos my grands used to live there lol
I don't know what is "I have eaten"
I only know "I eat already"
I thought is eat liao
this is not Singapore English, it's Malay English
HAHAHA THAT MOUNTAIN OF TISSUE PAPER.
tsl do the pokemon go see who got the most pokemon
Lol that is my local McDonald's
Gonna nitpick: CTE, PIE and ECP are initialisms, not acronyms :P other than that, interesting but no one really says half these things.

singlish is a dialect, not a language
Uu the new guy is cute
Can I just say how this is exaggerating English? You could just say ‘the burger is delicious’ or ‘yes, yes, sure’ without spending so much time talking about how nice the Food is.
The other guy also cant decide on many situations..

To those who think Singlish is bad...."BALIK KAMPUNG!"

Ethan Campbell It is “Go back to kampung!” Balik is go back

Speaking proper English does not make you talkative and long winded... Informal speaking and formal writing is different. There's a lot of shortforms in English as well. Anyway yaya papaya la.
