Do you know that some Asian countries use English as a native language?
Do you know the differences?
They have different accents and some different words!
Hope you enjoy the video

It's true that the word 'lepak' is derived from Malay. But the Singaporean might have misunderstood its real meaning since Malay isn't her mother tongue. 'Lepak' doesn't mean 'to rest', at least in Malaysia. It means to hang around somewhere, while not doing something important or meaningful, usually to just kill time. For example if you're a student and your class ends and you don't want to go home still, you can 'lepak' with your friends in a mall, or a cafe. I wouldn't say I wanna 'lepak' in my own room after a tiring day at work, since it doesn't mean to rest. 😊
Tetapi di malasia dan Singapura mereka tidak menggunakan bahasa melayu melainkan bahasa British dan Mandarin bahasa yang sangat mendominasi Dinegara itu.
Bahasa Melayu kurang berkembang di 2 negara itu 😊
@@suhanjayalian5044kalau di Singapore masih bisa diwajarkan, karna Melayu nya emang sedikit.

@@suhanjayalian5044 salah itu hanya di singapura, di Malaysia bahasa utama adalah Bahasa Melayu & English
Lepak can mean rest. But it’s mostly use to hang out. I can understand your explanation. She is not wrong either. Ironically, when we hang out with friends, we do nothing but chatting and eating. In the end of the day, we do nothing productive. Technically, we are "resting".
I liked this Filipina, she’s well informed.
Yes she is well informed and she is beautiful woman, her name is Anika and I love her because she is pretty like MNL48(my favorite girl group) 😊😊

They could choose a professional Filipina who majored English to be more accurate of the information.
@@tsarlessdagoodsamarites2002then this video will be pointless since she will be speaking straight english. An example why she is a good pick here is when she said kyupon instead of kupon. Some of us Filipinos thought or do not know that kyupon is not the right pronunciation.
im 1 of those used that 2 words kyupon and kupon.
it defends.
but i dont agree with gas station.
it was "gasolinahan".
Im so glad the filipino girl refered to our languages as languages and not dialects! It kinda annoys me that people say theyre dialects 😭 i love the way she explained how we speak English too! Its pretty accurate :)
Same here! In the new K-12 curriculum it's already being taught as languages now. I think only those who were not under the K-12 aren't aware of that at this point.
@@martdeleon5918 aw that's cool! I grew up in K-12, but I think when they taught us about our languages in Filipino class one time, they called it dialects. But that was one time and I don't remember it well 😭
@@martdeleon5918 I graduated high school in 2012, before K-12, but I am updated in these kind of things. I didn't even looked it up but it kind of popped up in my feed about the differences of dialects and languages. I think most of those people who still can't distinguish the differences are stucked in that knowledge. What's annoying is people who refuse to accept that fact, that Tagalog, Cebuano and other "dialects" are actually languages.
sabi nag pinay she try to pronounce all letters pero young honest niya ay AHnest instead of HAnest lol
She is right because a dialect has only a few different words or phrases otherwise they can still understand each other while languages are that when they use those to communicate they won't be able to understand each other.
theyre so respectful and nice to each other, i love this :)
As a Hongkonger born after the handover, I think I use both British and American pronunciation/wording. I really don't know which word/pronuciation refers to British/American English. This might be due to the influence of both British and American English on the Internet. And some books nowadays don't always use British English.
As a Hong konger born in the 2010s, I think I speak with American and British pronunciation and wordings too.
I say “can’t” as “c-ah-n-t” and “can” as “c-eh-n”
Different pronunciation for some reason.
yes. I’m a HKer born in 80’s. Our English usage is an eclectic blend of the British and American English. The distinction between the two is often blurred in our everyday conversations, unless we’re dealing with formal documents. Comprehension is our main concern, not the variant of English we use. The lady in the clip failed to convey accurate information. (However, it’s worth noting that speaking English with fellow Hong Kongers is less common compared to other nations.)
True. I used mixture of it since I was a kid.
Finally, we have an accurate Filipino representative..good job girl.👍
Lepak is a urban term in Malay that means to hangout, mostly to waste time or just meet friends with no objective at all. But sometimes we also use it to mean "relax" when someone its worked up over something, but it has to had an extender "Lepak Lah".
So to just rest is not the definition of Lepak
Lepak could also mean pass time ... doing things with friends just to pass the time.... but almost universally definition is hanging out with friends😂
yep. totally agree with this one
In India we use brinjal because that was brought to us by the Portuguese...we also use ananas for Pineapple because of the same reason! And we definitely use petrol station...no one says gas in India...its always petrol!
Petrol pump or pump
@@lawyermahaprasad actually not even station it is petrol pump!
Actually, brinjal was not brought here by Portuguese.....it has been existing here since, Harrapan diet
@@kishandubey7882 apologies....you are right...i just looked it up... I assumed it came with the other fruits and vegetables that the Portuguese brought here because of the name we chose to call it! But yes we use the Portuguese word in English rather than the English - aubergine for some reason!
who says ananas? maybe it's a regional thing for some places near goa (since you mentioned portugese)? I have never heard anyone say ananas.
Nice to watch this batch of reps, quite knowledgeable. Good job guys!

The Singaporean girl must be second 2nd generation mainlander Chinese or even mainland Chinese that grew up in Singapore from young. She just has that look that is very different from a typical Singaporean Chinese female,I just know it
Please explain how she was educated in jurong primary school and grew up in Singapore and her surname Quah found in only Malaysia and Singapore?
This channel impressed me so much. ❤
I know she's really curious how filos pronounce "honest" since we pronounce salmon with "L", but I really laughed hard 😂😂😂
let's admit it, any filipino who isn't familiar with the proper pronunciation would pronounce the H in ‘honest’
some regions will pronounce the H, especially if H is prominent in their dialect.
The state of American woman though brrrr. Come on "lady"... it's not THAT difficult to dress feminine??? just copy the Asians ok!
My father ^s cousin also pronounce it ha-nes.., and the name Mit-su-bi-shi, he say's Mitchubichi.. he has batangueño accent., its weird cos he's 60 yet he spoke those words like a 6 years old child

The term "comfort room" or CR, originally used in the United States, has been a part of Philippine English for over a century. Its earliest report was in the Santa Fe Daily New Mexico, which defined it as "a room in a public building or workplace furnished with amenities such as facilities for resting, personal hygiene, and storage of personal items (now rare); (later) a public toilet (now chiefly Philippine English)." Despite the term's disappearance in the US, we continue to use it in our daily conversations.
Regarding gas stations, Filipinos refer to them as "gasoline stations." Although some may shorten it to "gas station," the former is the more commonly used term.
Same, I thought she would use the words "gasoline station" on that one. Hehe
This is true. That is why they call it a comfort room back then, it's because of the amenities that makes the person comfortable. It stuck in a way because people "relieve" their load in the CR (A or B), hence inducing "comfort" to the person.
@@melodylightsahgasestarlight Nah, it's actually a euphemism. Like "rest room" or "bath room", but even more vague. "CR" is even better. Because it removes the association with yucky things by using a word that has nothing to do it. Thus it makes it easier to say when in polite company where you can't simply say "toilet" because other people might be eating or something.
Malaysian and Singapore accents are sometimes hard to tell apart if you exclude the local words such as "la, lepak" "haiya" "ok la". I was born and raised in Malaysia, live in Singapore for awhile - some people would say I sound like a Malaysian, others would say Singapore so if I'm on the show people are going to have a hard time guessing my country of origin lol😅
yea i actually do think there is a slight difference, my friend born and raised in msia but their mother worked in sg for a long time so my friend’s accent is obviously influenced by her parents (she doesnt speak chinese that often but it is at a conversational level) - we go to an int school so we dont talk chinese that often among friends but when she speaks chinese, so she sounds more singaporean than malaysian while her english is pretty standard international student accent
and i cant rlly ?? tell rhe difference between sg n msia english accent but i can kinda tell it??? like some (english) words r too different so it’s a dead giveaway
plus the slangs , msian use a lot of malay (it is the lingua franca afterall and not many ppl know hokkien either) while sgporeans use a lot of hokkien (it’s a very MIXED country unlike msia) and plus if indian or malay got chinese accent then obv sg 😭
@@byak6687 Ahhhhh interesting 😁 Now that you talked about it, my brother and other family members definitely sound more Malaysian due to the influence of Bahasa Melayu/Malay language tones, that's so cool! 😁
Lepak for us especially in our bisaya language it means lightning. .
agree to that im from Philippines living here in Singapore for 23yrs mostly of Malaysian id encounter they have a very good english accent as well.
True but when there is the word "sia: in the sentence, confirm Singaporean 😄
Of all the representatives that I've seen from the PH, I think Anikanov explained things about the PH the best. :) 👏👏
Yeah Anika is the best Filipina representative in this video and I love her because she’s beautiful 😊😊
I've never in my life seen gas being used in India. We say petrol pump throughout.
Yes the US say Gas Station because it is shortened from Gasoline nobody says that that it is always use petrol so we call it Petrol bunk or pump I don't know where She is form. but nobody would have an idea if you said Gas station they might get confused with LPG cylinders which use for Cooking that We call Gas
This filipina girl is by far the best ph representative I've seen from all these kinds of videos. That's the perfect "Philippine English" right there. Also, I love how she's very well-informed.
Jing’s English is not representative of Singapore English
How do you explain the older generations who can't speak English in Singapore?
@@tevikumares5022 Philippines is the winner here, even I am a Filipino I know that Singapore English is not pure US Fluent Accent, it's combination of US and UK Fluent Accent, not like Philippines that we had not Colonized by the British Empire, only US Colonized Philippines after the Spanish Empire. US influence Philippines to speak English ask our 2nd Language that's mandatory before in the soldier or even in the civillians in WW1 and WW2. Until Filipino or Filipina adopt US English our official 2nd Language.
But again that also applies to the Philippines that many of you can’t speak English well anyway
Definitely not the best representation yet at the same time it is exactly how a typical Singaporean sounds like
I think her fmalily is from northern China or South Korea so she doesn’t have that strong accent.
Ph 🇵🇭 accent is very noticeable, you can quickly distinguished by just a single word when they speak. clear and thick indeed. when it comes to the accent and pronunciation, Ph dominate among all these nationals and Singapore dominated as English fluency and proficiency. English speaking countries particularly in Asia developed differently due to a variety of factors such as the languages and dialects (mother tongue) they speak in a nocertain regions. like she said, in India their English accent and pronunciation varies according to regions they live in and the dialect used
The Americans brought English to the Philippines in the early 1900's. Before that, Filipinos only spoke their native dialects or Spanish. People who had the privilege to attend private school / university or are from the more "affluent" community will have a more pronounced American accent when speaking English. The "Pinoy accent" will be more noticeable for Filipinos who are not used to speaking English often (even if they know how to). But what's important is the words are pronounced correctly, regardless of accent.
@@justmytwocentsdontgetmad indeed, yeah those people who are not used to speaking English or not native English speakers are more noticeable just like any other nationals like thai, indian accent and more..
Indian and PH accents are the worst sounding in Asia.
@@justmytwocentsdontgetmadit's not native dialect. It's regional language. Tagalog is a language. Batangas speaks a different way of Tagalog aka Batangueño. That's when it becomes a dialect.
Others like Iloko/Ilocano, Cebuano, and Hiligaynon/Ilonggo etc. are languages of their own for each place/region in the Philippines. Hence, rightfully called regional language.
But between regional languages, there could be dialects like when Cebuano/Bisaya is spoken differently in Cebu, Bohol and/or Davao.
@@aPATako Yeah I know that. There are differences between "native dialect" and "regional language" but I find them just minor. Most people often use them interchangeably anyway. Let's not waste our time nitpicking on such trivial matters.
"Comfort Room" is actually an American term. The US brought it to the Philippines when the Ph was part of the US. The term is no longer used in the US (at least I haven't ever heard it here), but lives on the Philippines.
growing up in Malaysia in the 80s, I heard the terms Lepak and Lego, which lepak means "let's park" or let's hang out or let's chill, and lego means "let go or let's go", eg. "lego2!" in soccer means to tell your teammate to let go of the ball to him, or to leave the place.
I think it's cool that these countries learn a lot of languages from childhood. Here in the USA, you'll mainly just have English, even if you're a 1st generation born to immigrant parents. You have to make a really conscious effort to teach your children another language here.
You guys should do days of the week, months, counting, how they address strangers (in Singapore, people call then Aunty or Uncle. In the Philippines it's ate(big sister) or kuya(big brother)), how they address family members (in the Philippines, we call our aunts or uncles as Tita or Tito but we also call friends of our parents as Tita or Tito.)
In batangueño dialect., Aunts & Uncle ., ex. If your Aunts or Uncles are older than my parent, we call them "KA-KA" and the younger siblings of my parents are called Tiyo & Tiya, and last for our grandparents they're both called
"NA-NAY" & "MA-MAY"
In bisaya we call aunty and uncle as "anteh" & "angkol" like "ayaw kol bata pako kol"
If a man is older than us, we say "boss or bossing", and if bossing is a pervert one we call him "Mang Kanor".
I don't know where Jing is from, but I had a couple of Singaporean friends before and she does not sound like a Singaporean. My friend's English is a lot more... clear, for a lack of a better word.
She sounds jumbled. Is she one of those people who gets tongue tied when she's nervous, maybe?
At least she speaks English unlike manyolder generations of Singapore can't speak English let alone singlish
I agree with you. I’m Singaporean and I don’t think she sounds Singaporean when speaking English. She isn’t “flat” enough. Also I believe brinjal is the more commonly used word in Singapore. She does sound Singaporean when speaking non-English words though. Perhaps she is more used to speaking in her mother tongue than English
Many older generations of Singapore who can't speak English let alone Singlish: Are we jokes to you?
@@tevikumares5022 oh it’s you Mr no-life-keyboard-warrior. Well, sure, not all Singaporeans are good in English. But at least, they aren’t here showing people / misinterpreting the wrong Singaporean accent.
You are the one misinterpreting here. How can you be so sure I am a male when you can't even be sure about Singaporean people overall.
The Singapore one like… abit…. Not right leh…. Not actual Singlish accented, but more like how a foreigner would learn to speak that. In fact, her China accent is incredibly strong.
Explain why her surname Quah is only found in Malaysia and Singapore?
@@tevikumares5022 the surname Kuah comes from Fujian China leh… plus, what’s in a name, tbh.
Point is, the Singlish accent sounds like a caricatured impression, and the accent is all off. At least, the Singlish accent I know is nothing like hers la. Malay, Indian, Chinese, all the Singlish accent don’t sound like that leh….
Nope. In China every surname is pinyin based so your point is invalid as my point still stands. You can never even find Quah in China anyway. And besides, how do you explain many older generations of Singapore who can’t even speak English or singlish?
@@tevikumares5022 in China it’s pinyin based due to oppressive conformity, (which was initially tested here in Singapore in 1983 as a “suggestion” by the late Lee Kwan Yew which resulted in my own name being pinyin when my whole family were using dialect. However, it wasn’t fully enforced and kinda left as it was so that’s where we are at today in sg)
so the moment they leave, they could better embrace their dialects. This was seen in the many Huay Guans back in the 40’s and 50’s who mostly had links to their old hometowns in China, or the Tian Di Hui triad also based in China.
Point being, I could call myself Ricardo Franquiose Edwardo the third and that wouldn’t change the fact that it could be a fake name, or a given name, etc etc.
That’s not even the main point. The point is if she is really from China then her surname should be Ke not Quah and Quah is only found in Malaysia and Singapore only and the pinyin was officialized in 1958 so she couldn’t be born in 1958 or even later because her surname Quah was already established wat before that from her ancestors
the Singaporean doesn’t even sound like a local Singaporean…
At least she can speak English unlike many older generations of Singapore can't speak English or even Singlish
@@tevikumares5022 true but this is about accents. It’s like doing a test for apples and using orange as a sample. If it’s an english speaking test I understand, but this is an *accent* video.
Still her accent is minimally Singaporean anyway.
@@tevikumares5022 It feels like an unfair representation to most Singaporeans. I’m not looking for “at least” or “minimal” I just would’ve liked some accuracy. 🤷♀️
Then as I said explain why many older generations of Singapore can’t speak English or even singlish?

@@zatikaze9615 You must live in a cave then.
1)India doesn't have national language. Hindi is most spoken language in India but its not a national language. India has 22 official languages(Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Assamese, Urdu, Dogri, Bodo, Maithili, Manipuri, Sindhi, Nepali, Kashmiri, Odia, Santali and Konkani).
2)She is right about learning three languages but its not in every school or even in every regions like in many southern states people don't learn Hindi, just their mother tongue and English. But indians has one more common language other than English i.e. sign language 😂
3)Brinjal is forever😂 Eggplant i never see anyone saying until recent years but still not among general public
4) We don't say gas station but petrol pump
5)We use toilet too besides bathroom(its actually used for rooms to take shower or bath but sometimes for toilet purposes too)and washroom
From what I understand I think South India generally follows the 3-language policy. I know of Malayalees who have appeared for Hindi exams (I forget the name). Tamil Nadu may be an outlier. North India generally cheats on this by making the third language Sanskrit or French or something that is essentially an Indo-European language. So, they may not have the advantage of speaking languages from another family.
Hindi is overestimated in census cause most people who say they know Hindi can barely communicate in it effectively
@@Sticklemakobut still it's most spoken Indian language
@@EagleOverTheSeaas I said it depends regionwise like in north too as in Gujarat or Punjab many people don't know Hindi and in many school only two languages are taught so it depends on schools too
No in most southern states we learn hindi
Out of all the Filipinos I've seen in videos like this, she is by far the most Filipino sounding. But I hope in other videos, someone would point out that we also roll our Rs and that we don't usually flap our Ts
Singaporean here and we use LEPAK and we meant to hangout and chill somewhere.
Filipino language somehow is a genderless language where pronouns do not have a classified gender. For example, the pronoun siya (she/her, he/him, they/them) can be used to refer to anyone regardless of gender. That is why most Filipinos usually find it challenging using 'she' and 'he' when conversing.
for some occupation words and people words tho, the spanish loanword added gender tho like Filipino and Filipina and what other else
@@xXxSkyViperxXx and that's what THEY will be targeting next. Soon these people will also be pushing that bs Filipinx, Mix instead of Mr. or Ms. THEY will be so offended that mothers will be called birthgiver instead, breastfeed to chestfeed. And everything else will go downhill from there.
🇵🇭🇲🇾
'Sila' for they/them cuz 'siya' is singular form.
Filipino language actually have gender because of spanish influence but we only use it for some adjectives, titles, professions, and nationalities but not on pronouns.
Examples;
Handsome: guapo (m) / guapa (f)
Senator: Senador (m) / sendora (f)
Lawyer: Abogado (m) / abogada (f)
Korean: koreano (m) / koreana (f)
In malaysia, brinjal is also used for eggplant 🍆. Terung is used in Malay for eggplant.
in Philippines different language we called it hiligaynon.the meaning of lepak is thunder
Oh my gosh Hazeline! I follow her UA-cam Channel and she’s amazing! The fact that she used to juggle being a flight attendant and her studies. Serious respect for her. Loved this video!
"Comfort Room" is old American slang from the early 20th century that fell out of favor in the US, but survived in the Philippines. It is originally American.
We also call eggplant as brinjal in Malaysia.
No way! In the past someone said brinjal was the green vegetable with slimy texture inside it. But then someone changed it to okra after that.
@@tevikumares5022 No, we call okra as "lady's finger".
In the past it was common to call that but now….
Yup we use brinjal for eggplant and lady's finger for okra in Malaysia and Singapore. British influence I guess?
Jing really doesn’t sound like most Singaporeans that I’ve met 😅 Hazeline does sound like many Singaporeans and Malaysians because people from these two countries are very similar to each other. Like what I’ve guessed before, this is probably because Jing speaks with exclusively Chinese-speaking friends and family members while Hazeline probably has a more diverse circle being a former flight attendant.
The subtitles are inaccurate, it’s not “boring” but “bo liao”in Hokkien. “Lepak” actually means more like “to hang out” in Malay. BTW “brinjal” is used in Malaysia and Singapore as well, I don’t know why Jing and Hazeline didn’t mention it. Maybe they’re to bougie to go to a mamak stall and order brinjal curry 😁
Karena singapura dan malasia kedua negara tersebut tidak memiliki bahasa resmi dinegara mereka,, sehingga jangan heran bahasa majikan Inggris British lebih mudah berkembang pesat dibandingkan bahasa melayu.

My children could speak English well because they like to watch British cartoons since small, like to watch Harry Porter and King Arthur tv series. All of them finish reading the 7 volumes of Harry Porter Books before going into secondary schools.
14:32 CR or comfort room was a term originally used in the United States with the Oxford English Dictionary noting that its earliest report was in the Santa Fe Daily New Mexico and the word’s original meaning, “a room in a public building or workplace furnished with amenities such as facilities for resting, personal hygiene, and storage of personal items (now rare); (later) a public toilet (now chiefly Philippine English).” The Americans brought the term over and while its use, linguistically, disappeared in the United States we’ve kept it for more than a century now.
When speaking with foreigners, Filipinos feel it is difficult to build sentences, and there are words in the Philippines that have an easy-to-remember English term, and Taglish may also be popular now I think.
I hope the world countries could unite like these people in these video who are really world friends

@@koushinproductions that is still quite a bit shorter than the period stretching from 1898 to 1946 (minus the period under Japanese occupation). I imagine the American rule had more influence.

Yes in the philippines we dont say bathroom if there is no shower to bath 😝😝😝 made sense, instead we call it CR comfort room
I like that voice so cute SG Next to IN 2:33 PH 5:18 it’s so perfect with who this is girl flag on right
“In America we say cu-pon” me who lived in Philly the first 5 years of my life and still lives in the suburbs of Philly “uh it’s Q-Pon”
Accents are pretty varied across different regions in the US. It seems that the host is only primarily familiar with her own regional accent and the 'General American' accent.
At 13:19 in india we say petrol pump not gas station or petrol station
Nowadays filipinos were more comfortable speaking TAGLISH😉🤗❣️🇵🇭
In filipino, we tend to pronounce english words in their spanish pronunciation if the English & Spanish equivalent is almost the same
Like February, we tend to pronounce it like the spanish Febrero, or telephone we tend to pronounce it like telefono
Its because those Spanish words where already integrated in Filipino languages...
The most neutral English accent is the lady from the Philippines.
Actually got the eggplant in Malaysia we say 3 kinds brinjal egg plant and aubergine
India does not have a national language, but it has 22 official languages. Yes, we tend to learn three languages as we grow up
Well, imma Malaysian mix with Singaporean and i speak 4 languages which is my mother tougue TAMIL, English, Chinese and bahasa Kebangsaan. even though English is an international, 1st priority i gave to my mother tongue.
Brinjal is common in India, and we don't say 'gas station' if you say nobody would understand, we use 'petrol pump', and we also use 'Toilet' , 'restroom' .
"Washroom" is more common than "restroom". And most people who haven't worked corporate (read: Americanised) jobs will tend to use "toilet" or "bathroom".
@@EagleOverTheSeayeah toilet/bathroom is what we learnt since childhood. Washroom/restroom came later.
Agree @@krato6468
we also say petrol punk in India, i was confused when she said gas station because ive never seen anyone use it, also for bathroom we also say 1 bathroom for peeing and 2 bathroom for pooping
In India, We don’t say gas station, we say petrol pump.
Also Petrol bunk.

Old school.
What if it a truck?
@@yeongkarsoon481 a truck is a truck.
@@minniev5993 But you guys say lorry too right?
How many videos with this subject do you guys already have!? LOL
When I was in the Philippines when I was younger, I had a family friend ask me where the "CR" was .. I really didn't know what that was until I eventually knew he meant toilet .. Looking back, I wonder how much longer did this guy have to hold his shit in before he got an answer out of me !! And if someone gets food poisoning, its not really a "comfort room", is it ? ..
I don’t think food poisoning is an issue mostly in the Philippines hahaha , and if you do, you’d go to the kitchen sink, not the toilet.
I am a pilipino and living in California I am naturalized citizen of us here in America we usually called rest room instead of cr
I am Filipino, and that is accurate- when the Filipina said that we commonly refer to the bathroom or toilet as C.R., which means Comfort Room
Erm.. Malaysians definitely learn it as brinjal in most public schools and not eggplant but of course we understand all variations including aubergine.
The only country that uses "comfort room" lol 🇵🇭
All 5 Asian girls speak English proficiently (no broken grammar). It all comes down to accent. The thicker the accent, the harder to understand but these girls' English accents are clear enough.
wah jing u really keep old traditions alive ah, i thought people don't use bedak sejuk anymore. power lah u
We do call eggplant as brinjal here in Malaysia.
As a Korean, I am familiar with the Indian accent.. I can clearly understand what's being said😊
Of course you can. Your husband is Indian 🤣🤣🤣
@@yourKING7 bro 🤣😭

Kannada is like same with Hangeul or Tamil too I think
Philippines is the only country there that not colonized by the British Empire, so our English is pure US it's different to 4 countries that they had colonized by UK before and we all know that UK English is quitely different in US English Fluent Accent, it's different you can't compared that 5. So in this case we all know Philippines is the winner since the judge is from US and she was hear a cleared US English Fluent, unlike to 4 countries influence UK English fluent accent.
In Thailand we often put krub and ka at the end of the sentence , for ex. where do you want to go krub/ka? ,
Ps. krub for male , ka for female❤
You are the pride of Malaysia. Proceed
Yeah another video featuring three beautiful ASEAN ladies:Hazeline of Malaysia, Jing of Singapore and Anika of the Philippines
Malaysia and Singapore are former British colonies and today it was part of Commonwealth of Nations so that English is the language of the two aside Malay, Chinese and Tamil
The Philippines is former Uncle Sam influence for more than 50 years and English is the Constitutional Language of the Philippines, together with Filipino language and many Filipino students are send to US universities to study like Havard, Yale and University of California
Jing and Anika are the prettiest women for me, lol and she is my crush because she is very kawaii and Anika’s style is a resemblance of MNL48 and JKT48(my favorite girl groups) so I like these two so I love you so much Anika and Jing, mwah 😘😘
I like Hazeline too so pretty and I love her as friends 😊😊
Just wanted to point out that the Philippines was controlled by UK before the US. The US wanted to invade Japan during WW2 and that's why they wanted the Philippines. The British had the Philippines and when the US wanted the Philippines, the British basically gave it to them. During the time that the US had the Philippines they used to do all sorts of unspeakable acts against the Philippine people. The majority of the languages spoken in the Philippines are Spanish influenced. English wasn't a language they spoke until after the Philippines gained their independence from the US. The majority of people in the Philippines don't actually speak English very well or at all. In schooled they are either taught Tagalog and English or Bisayâ and English. Depending on which part of the Philippines you are in. Northern part is Tagalog and southern part is Bisayâ.
@@crow6183 Interesting 😊😊
She is Malaysian Chinese so her english accent is definitely a Malaysian Chinese accent .. Malaysian Malay have a very different accent from that .. similar to Malaysian Indian..we also have different accent..
Nope. That’s just very unfair in a way because not every Chinese Malaysian has attended Chinese school likewise not every Indian Malaysian attended tamil school and even many malay don’t attend national school so it’s just simply unfair to group people like that. Accents are not attained just like that though.
@@tevikumares5022 please invite native Melayu people😭
Takde orang tanye orang indonesia pun
@@tevikumares5022Tulah, jemput bnyk negara asia, takde Indonesia pelik, dah la jemput Malaysian Chinese bukan Malaysian Malay, haih...
Sama je orang malaysia. Apalah masalah korang?
kyu-pon is a dialect in america and canada much like "pop" or "soda"
I love how they make a world become a friends. Looks like very beautiful world if we can laugh together like them. Forget about the war, forget about the genocide, forget about the country's problem.
Lepak means hang out in Malaysia. Not 'to rest". For example "jom lepak kat mamak". 'jom' is a slang for let's go. So Let's go hang out at mamak". Another meaning is sit down and doing nothing. You can say it considered as resting but we're not using the word lepak as to rest. The Malay word we use for 'to rest' is beristirehat.
It’s weird cause I also put random lah and you know Singaporean stuff but in Singapore we call this singlish and it’s very common we just can’t control it it’s basically a habit and sometimes when I meet like people from US or UK they would ask me what the lah means and why I use it and I can’t explain why I use lah and you know
in Filipino - Cebuano, lepak is pronounced as lipak and it means like a huge chunk of wood.
in PH we say CP shorten for Cellphone 😅
Text form, sure. Spoken, no. Never heard someone say "CP" because it just 2 syllables anyway same as "Cellphone"
Singapore and Philippines woman are so fucking fine.
The Singaporean reminds me of Nana Mizuki Hinata's and Fanny: *Blade of Kibou* Japanese version voice actress.
And I didn't know that the woman differentiating the languages is a VA too.
philippines accent is amazing even people dont have degree.they spoke nice and clear. 😊
Not the real glass 😭🤣 subtitler must've been so confused hahaha should be "world-class" not "real glass" at 0:49 hahaha
I'm curious. Is the Singaporean girl originally from mainland China? She just doesn't give off typical Chinese-Singaporean vibes.
Why is everyone assuming she is from China? Chinese people from China don’t even have such accents and she was educated in jurong primary school anyway. Her surname is Quah and can you even find the surname Quah in China? Nope
@@tevikumares5022in general Singaporeans are not as gentle as what she displayed 😂
Well that’s general for you but there is always an exception right?
@@tevikumares5022If she's not from China, then she's probably acting cute. Quah surname? Maybe mother from China then.
It’s not acting cute but she is being herself. And don’t even assume her mother is from China just because of that. She has that typical non China accent anyway. And her mother passed away when she was very young.
Very Interesting girl talk❤😊
