Learning singlish is HARD!🙈 How do you think I did?😜 Remember to THUMBS UP the video and SUBSCRIBE to see more!😊

@HearterSG 6 лет назад

excellent try! this was hilarious and awesome! this guy has the authentic stuff

@robinkoh444 6 лет назад

You did great!

@spideyfanboy 6 лет назад

Singlish is meant to be learnt naturally not forcefully 😂

@betatuberaggy 6 лет назад

Georgia, just learn a few words is good enough, you don't need to force yourself to learn everything.

@rainbowpaddlepops 6 лет назад

I think only a fair bit of us bother to pronouns clearly when we speak. So the words, find/fine and three/tree would sound similar. On the word "tyco", it kinda means sheer luck. I have been watching your videos occasionally and I remember it goes way back before you came to Singapore. Glad you have the opportunity to live aboard and learn the country's culture. Don't be too bothered about the negative comments. :)

@SunNy-fm7dz 6 лет назад

Direct translation from Hokkien: 1. Bojio - 没招，没邀- did not invite 2. Toh - 倒 - knock oneself out, flop/fail 3. Cheem - 深 - difficult, hard 4. Paiseh - 不好意思 - shy, embarrased Singlish translation from Mandarin: 1. Walk walk see see - 走走看看 - looking around with no purpose Singlish translation from Malay: 1. Kena - was given, got

@thulomanchay 6 лет назад

Singlish is pidgin English of Singapore. There is no one way of speaking it. The Malays, the Chinese and Indians, each have their hybrid, and those who were schooled in English also have their own standard of Singlish. Depending on who your peers are, borrowed words are inserted in accordingly, Malay, Chinese, or Indian words, to emphasise, to better express sentiment, or when the correct English word is not known. Mostly it flow smoothly in an informal setting, out of laziness to speak proper English. More Singaporeans now, can write good English, and can hesitatingly, speak good English too, if they choose to, but relaxed, they rather sing along in Singlish.

@stevenl4459 6 лет назад

Chuckle! You guys are hilarious!

@LittleHampie89 6 лет назад

To speak Singlish like a local there are a few things you need to know: do not try to mouth the final consonant in any word; do not try to pronounce words as perfectly as you can; do not worry about speaking formally; do not worry about being precise in your pronunciation; be very casual and informal and relaxed; be as simple as possible when forming sentences and pronouncing words; do not worry about feeling embarrassed when speaking; English vowels a, e, i, o, u are pronounced differently in Singlish; 'th' is pronounced as either a 't' or a 'd'. Lots more if anyone else can contribute.

@LittleHampie89 6 лет назад

Also Singlish is very context and tone-based, a lot of the meanings can change depending on the circumstances and how you sound when saying the word, especially that famous "can meh, can lor, can la, can leh, can hor" that can mean different things just depending on the particle attached to "can" and when you say it.

@lohkw 6 лет назад

The way a lot of Singaporeans teach Singlish by adding a suffix(eg leh, lor, lah) to every sentence is a bit exagerrated in my opinion. It is not just that. The tone, pronunciation and sentence construction. First, the tone. The way Singaporeans pronounce names itself is Singlish. For example, when Singaporeans pronounce the second syllable of any Christian name, it is usually a high, flat tone instead of a downward tone. Second, the pronunciation. Th is usually pronounced as t. Three becomes tree and through becomes true. Thanks is not pronounced as tanks or danks, we pronounce it as dtanks(between d and t). Third, the sentence. At 5:12, he said "I jio you, you also won't come". One more example I can think of is "I tell you, you also won't listen". There is no suffix or local slang in this sentence, but it is Singlish from the way this sentence is formed. I can go on with more examples but it could take forever.

@abbiewinters97 6 лет назад

Actually the word 'fine' in Malay is spelled as 'Saman' not 'Summon'

@lagofala 3 года назад

But it's from the word summons also

@goober2073 3 года назад

haiya the guy also half right half wrong, his england not powderful enough to explain and convey the true meaning and context to her properly haha like for example the word saman, is actually derived from the english word summon which means a date which the person 'saman'ed must appear in court

good video this and the one on gregoryshampoo channel. there is good chemistry between you two.

@angie277 4 года назад

Totally enjoy watching this video! :D SIMI SAI in a direct translation to some of us, it means " What the shit ?" " HUH" " WHAT?" " What are you talking about ". as different expression.

@simontan7561 6 лет назад

"TOH" is "to fall down" in the Hokkien dialect. So when used in your context, it means "to faint". Similarly, "PANG SEH" is Hokkien for "released alive". It is a Buddhist term for setting animals free. In your context, it means "don't let go of me". And of course "cheem" means "deep".

@frederickwee 6 лет назад

Do somemore leh, explain 'Can', 'Lah', 'Leh' and all other suffixes in Singlish with explanations to go along. This of which i have much trouble explaining to my foreign friends what do they actually mean. Eg, can lah vs can leh... or a can in a tone going up/down.

Tyco is originated from Hokkien pronounce as thaiko. It means the skin rotten from wound. Definition (rotten luck).

@TheSunMoon 6 лет назад

😂 that was hilarious!!

@Aisha-ii5tv 6 лет назад

HAHAHAHAHHAHAH OMFG I CANT WITH THIS-

@vswx 6 лет назад

the correct meaning of tyco is Leprosy.. tyco is in hokkien.. tyco is commonly associated with ugly.. One example is if someone is ugly, we can use example "Waaa(Wow), he face is very tyco" Another example when someone fluke a goal in a football match.. We will say "Waa that goal tyco sia" Meaning he scored it ugly or mordern days, we can also use it to say he scored the goal by luck..

@ginawong5810 6 лет назад

this is too cute and funny HAHAH

@lendltan6479 6 лет назад

To expand on a few things, toh means to fall or collapse in hokkien. That's why you can use it in different scenarios like being dead drunk till you black out, wanting to collapse in shock or things like that. Saman is kind of Malay, but it was actually derived from receiving summons. Simisai literally means 'what shit', so it's a slightly vulgar and exaggerated way of exclaiming, kinda like 'what is this bullshit'. No kick actually is kind of derived from what you were talking about. It basically refers to something that doesn't have an impact. So it can used to describe something that's easy, but it's also fine to say 'that spicy dish got no kick' to illustrate the opposite of your example.

@JL-qj4pi 4 года назад

Hahaha, that was so hard for me, too. I guess you have to live there to get it.

@dylightfullygeekedout 6 лет назад

OMG I'm so torn right now. I love Singlish but I'm cringing at the fact that you couldn't tell certain words apart. I guess we're just too lazy to enunciate haha

@ylw 6 лет назад

That's a feature of the accent! Very interesting that it happened a few times in the video: Walk/Wok, Fine/Find ...

@dylightfullygeekedout 6 лет назад

Haha I know that, a Singaporean here

@LittleHampie89 6 лет назад

Three/Tree, Went/When, Thing/Think, Thank/Tank, Late/Laid, Road/Rode, Duck/Dark, Ring/Rink, Tent/Ten, etc. Because we don't pronounce 'th' properly and also ignore the last consonant that's why a lot of our words sound similar to foreigners.

@MrJermson 6 лет назад

LittleHampie89 You are right. Even though I know all the Singlish words but I cringed when he pronounced in Englishb

@xLeidenFrost 6 лет назад

or it could be we're just lazy af. I'm singaporean and i know how to pronounce correctly. It's just that i'm lazy and you'll get judge cuz apparently, not speaking with singaporean accent or pronounciation makes you seem arrogant.

@kaienluvaaron 6 лет назад

@icedteaa7081 6 лет назад

Lmao I love seeing people trying Singapore culture! I feel proud being Singaporean lol :) bai

@ImBenGee 6 лет назад

kena is not really past tense? you can say something along the lines of "wah don't anyhow say leh, later i kena from him sia" so basically it's "get".

@daringluckyman8124 6 лет назад

Singlish is speaking English in a short and simple way. When speaking Singlish,there is no past/present tense. You can just use either past/simple tense anyhow. You dont have to speak whole sentence,you just need to speak the key words. So speaking Singlish is much easier, faster and time saving.👍👍👍😊😊😊

@sooriyah007 6 лет назад

@noorirwan686 3 года назад

Actually we can speak proper english n our english is good n we speak english all the time when we meet up with friends of different races, sometimes even at home so we accidentally mould our version of english(singlish) unlike non-english speaking countries,once they learn english they'll speak carefully with english speaking people/foreigners but will speak their own language with their fellow countrymen

@livealittle6369 6 лет назад

@EssyJoy 6 лет назад

actually cheem doesn't really mean difficult per se, i would say it's a word unto itself. it kind of means difficult but more of like when something is "deep" or convoluted more than just difficult (if that makes any sense). so like you wouldn't really say like "math is so cheem", it's more of like if someone said something really profound or something like that and then you'd say "so cheem".

@hoshook 6 лет назад

Kena something- got something bad. Kena has a negative connotation. We don't use kena for good things (: Eg 'I kena flowers.' --> X (unless getting flowers brings about some bad outcomes)

@SuperDokiDoki 6 лет назад

Singaporean pronunciation is a bit off sometimes even though they are educated in English. For example, the word "Cold" clearly has the letter -d behind however most Singaporean doesn't pronounce the -d (Singaporean consider the -d as silent letter). Hence, Singaporean "Cold" actually sounds like "Coal" when they pronounce it. As clearly seen in this video the Singaporean consider "find" and "fine" sounds the same, in which he is actually wrong. Other example: Gold is pronounced as "Goal" Bold is pronounced as "Bowl" Told is pronounced as "Toll"

@Sone_carat90 6 лет назад

Franky Law and that what makes us unique. And as long we can understand each other, who really cares what foreigners think about us?

@singlah 6 лет назад

Fian Fazlie The problem is when Singaporeans go abroad to work or study, the rest of the English-speaking world can barely understand what Singaporeans are saying. And that's when you realize that your English "cannot make it" when you can't code-switch.

@Sone_carat90 6 лет назад

singlah too bad lor!!!!!!!! Not all Singaporeans are like that. And you’re generalizing all of us? Geez
