Wtf! It was supposed to be a serious thread. Sam yanked the language chain and we went off on a tangent for the rest of the posts. Much like the third rail. anybody need rayon ties?
Looks like there's atill a lot of angst and anger evoked by the bilingual policy debacle.

Because sinkies have low self esteem and celebrate self hatred.
Gotta admit our grasp of a proper language is an issue but there is no reason to slam it like it's the plague. Pidgin english is a feature of all mixed bag culture societies. It is a part of our history and national identity.

Sori hor. Sometime short circuit mah.
The thread didn't go off on a tangent. All I did was cut to the chase so that everyone could focus on the most telling part of the whole article.
The trick to speaking good Singlish is to take something in mandarin and do a literal word-for-word translation.
For example, if you say to a child: "回家给你母亲打", it translates to "go home give your mother beat".
These are just expressions only. But yeah you need to apply the correct one but more often than not sia for example is used by malays cos they always use siol as the expression.
You've forgotten that Singlish has a Malay component which means it should be "go home kenna hantam by mother".
it is either run or ran. not runned.
Language spoken, be it hokkien, cantonese, english, malay, wasnt a problem. My grandma speaks only teochew, and some malay. But she has no problem communicating with anyone. I would think its the recent influx of the FTs that are causing all these "communications" break down. 1st... U get your AT whom mostly cant speak singlish. Then the fucking pinoys and indians with their version of english. Chao Chee Bye: I believe its a term understood by all Singaporean.
Can anyone confirm if the train drivers are Foreign Talents from china?

Knn you Ah Beng must have learned this from your Ah Lian, so feminine.
Unlike Japanese which doesn't have the L syllable and always substitute it with the R syllable in English and western loanwords, Mandarin Chinese have both the L and R syllables and can cope with them perfectly well. The interchange between L and R is usually intentionally to mock some dialects which don't have both too., e.g. someone perfectly capable of pronouncing English but pronouncing it as Engrish and yet pronouncing roti as loti.
