  • To show off my Mandarin skills, I decided to only speak Chinese for 24 hours to my wife and in-laws in Singapore. We normally only speak in English so this is a bit of a challenge for me. But I've been studying Chinese using duolingo and online tutor. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?

    It was such a hoot to see you try to apply classroom Chinese to our daily use Singaporeanised (read: rojak) Chinese. lol. Kudos for trying and it's so heartwarming to see your fabulous relationships with your MIL and FIL. My sides ached with the laughter when your wife explained that 'hao lian' is actually Hokkien (Chinese dialect), and not actually Mandarin. Welcome to our rojak Chinese; you've learnt Singlish, this be your next challenge.

    Chinese intonation for words is very important, cause both 买 and 卖 have the same pinyin but different tones. But 买 means buy and 卖 means sell

I didn’t understand the first part either, but the second time when you asked your MIL if you could go to her house, she said that you were welcomed anytime, and that you didn’t have to ask them for permission! The third time, she was joking, mixing “selling” and “buying”, and saying that you were selling her (instead of buying her something).
