Thanks for watching my interview with SINGLISH Dialect video! If you're new to my channel please SUBSCRIBE bit.ly/DBH-SUB I am about to drop my Singapore series very soon!
I love your channel and subscribed. that girl don't speak Slinglish too much. I notice she always look into her phone. Slinglish mean mixed languages. not everyone speak the same Slinglish because of so many different type of dialects out there. you can creative dialects mixed in with Hakka, Hanna, Hockan, Malay, Dayak, English, Cantonese and more.... people like to speak Slinglish because #1 - cool and #2 - only your group of friends and family speak and understand the languages and sure we know what you are talking about. Let me teach you how to speak Slinglish when you see a pretty girl. " Itu ( Malay mean that ) Jarpo ( Hockan mean girl ) Haulang ( Hakka mean pretty ) La ( English mean Yeah!!! ) Itu Jarpo Haulang La .

So disappointing you didnt cover the section of the 15 ways to say "can":
Can la
Can meh
Can hor
Can or not
Can can
Can siah
Can bo
Can kua
Can liao
Confirm can
Can means can cannot means cannot
Can one
Not say cannot
If can i do
Can de
Add more: 1. Can leh. 2. Your head lah...can! 3.Can your head, 4.Can you do loh. 5. Can die one leh!
Singlish is like rojak , nobody understands except local
....well, so does Manglish, the Malaysian counterpart.
Firesniper1357 don't try to learn Singlish. It will spoil your plain English.
new subbie here. awesome travel vlogs. man, it looks so humid out there!
Lots of cultures say Aunty and Uncle as respectful address to an older person.
Cool, love these language videos, I'm learning a lot. I didn't realize there was a separate Singaporean dialect.
Thanks bro! Yea I only knew about it because a friend of mine from Singapore told me that they have another dialect. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I wouldn't call it a dialect exactly. As a Singaporean myself, I'd say its closer to a Creole Language
Davidsbeenhere "Har? I'm Singaporean and I actually still say singlish in school 😆 You need to learn singlish leh! Very funny sia."
maybe y'all wanna check out our "female version" of a foreigner trying to speak singlish! check us out :D
I wouldnt call it a dialect
Very useful clip lah ;) , I learned too much from it..thanks !
That's why people in Singapore is crazy 😂 if you stay in Singapore long your American English accent is broken 😃😃
that's amazing!!
Singlish sounds amazing. Probably a lot more casual than when I was there under the British la.
Singlish is purposely and specially created for Singaporean. As you know Singapore is a multi-racial country which consists of 3 main races,Chinese,Malay n Indian,Hence Singlish is created with mixture of languages.So this create a Harmony among races n it become a unique culture for Singapore. Anyway Singlish is Fun, Short and Sharp. Let's learn together to enjoy the fun and adapt yourselves in this Harmony n wonderful country.
Race is not realllll...
I hope you're not ignoring Manglish (Malaysian broken English, for your info) that is used by Malaysian too, you know Singaporean's neighboring country that also shares the same attribute of multiculturalism as Singapore?
Singlish is easier than korean..chinese or japanese...i love it...
Subbed, because of the drone footage in the beginning lol
Awesome leh...
I love her personality!
2:55 The way he said it sibei accurate sia
I loves your channel
Singlish sounds like the language equivalent to making a meal out of random leftovers in your fridge, but I guess it works.
Even if you know the Singlish words like Lah, Alamak, Shiok....etc You would still need to work on your accent and learn how to end the sentence with it too lol Nice and entertaining vid David and company, good job!
I'd be correct to assume that Singlish = rojak -
Singlish can be found in dictionary.
Wahlao... the drone video part last warning sia.... dam swee....
Ok, I would go crazy in Singapore.
Singlish so cute ❤️
I can’t believe that out of all the languages there is that I’ve decided to learn singlish
the only English dialect that can be understood only in Singapore and not anywhere else
Actually, Malaysian understand well about Singlish because Manglish and Singlish are the same! Bahasa Rojak, what.
Because it's not a dialect. It's a creole language, like Naija Pijin. If you listen to some Pijin spoken, you'll understand at best 5% of the speech, if that.
Hilarious! I always love watching a non-local trying to learn Singlish and pronouncing the words.
Kia-su literally translates as someone "afraid to lose"...e.g.
"Wah, you so kia-su, chope so many table for what?" - You're expecting a dinner party and are afraid you might not have enough seating for all, so you reserved a whole bunch of tables, much more than you need. So you are 'kia-su'. So not necessarily, 'competitive' in meaning, all the time.
Looking for directions, you can use the words “down where?” Sounds weird?
“Aiyo, bah-toh tia, want to berak, toilet down where ah?” - ow I have a stomach ache, I need to take a dump, where’s the restroom?
Melvin C Erm...kia su is more like crazy or kenna anxiety attack
Hilarious video, love the way you speak Singlish, it's kind of like the way I speak French :)
lol :)
thanks dude!
Actually in my opinion Singlish is a closely related creole language to English that is for the most part intelligible to English to a large degree.
Ok lah. Subscribed earlier, lah!
I used to have a singlish accent when I was born there, but I lost it, and so my main goal is to get it back when I have to do my national service when I’m 18
Hello Crysan👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Chrysaaan
not sure if its a pidgin or creole language. one will be able to find out more from google, though. malaysia has manglish, thailand has thaiglish. *shrug*
I hear Ryan from NOC at 2:13!!!
yes!!!
ok lah :P
I'm SG too lol!
I'm Japanese.
But I love Singlish.
Official languages are English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil lah.
Singlish is Hokkien mee... stir fry until very nice!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually, Singlish is created so foreigner don't understand a heck of what Singaporean is talking about! Just Kidding. This is the results of multi-culture up-bringing. Having indians(from India origin, not that American natives), malays, chinese & eurasian as your neighbours, you learn some of their mother tongue playing with your neighbours. Just like I use Spanglish in spain for certain years, laughing by the local spanish friends. Saying I speak like a Britons living in spain.
It’s a pretty language, but it seems *very* needlessly complicated!
She is the girl from Wah!banana
yes she is!
CRYSAN!!!!👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻😘😘😘
YEEESSSS
sibei kiasu
Even teachers speak singlish
sibei atas video
Ang moh
I think Singlish is different to different races. Like if you're Chinese of course you'll use more Chinese & Hokkien dialect in ur Singlish but if you're Malay you'll use more Malay and same goes for Indian.
But i think apart from the mixing native languages to English, Singlish is prominent for it's bad sentence structure and poor grammar.
Tbh it's just Singaporeans trying to direct translate their native language to English. Hence the weird grammar.
Not a dialect but English based creole language
SINGLISH = SING BLOKEN INGLISH WAHAHHA
My English is broken
Thanks to Singlish ;)
We were talking about all this shit 40 years ago in Singapore. The Hash House Harriers used to take the piss out of the local runners. I personally cannot stand wankers who say "awesome".
Don't complicate it; it's just our local slang. Just like many others countries have their own slang which sounds just as uncanny to us.
That proves Singlish is an international language 🤣🤪
Singlish is a creole.
Singapore should only have three Official Languages: English Singlish Mandarin
Not really a dialect, just broken English. And probably the most annoying one.
lol~ !
It's not just broken English, it also uses chinese dialect like hokkien etc , mandarin and also the malay language with english spoken using chinese or malay sentence structure.
Singlish is not Broken English. its a language on its own. Not a dialect of english either. Its a Creole Langauge.
Singapore English is the Singapore dialect of English. its not the same thing.
Singlish dialect is a mixed languages. not a broken English. if you don"t speak the same dialect and you don't understand what they talking about.
yeah i am with you. we speak that in Brunei
