Lies again? Driver Chauffeur USD SGD

Not even the Fujian and Hokkian people can understand their Hokkian

but they are not saying Mandarin.

I mean this was pretty easy to understand

Singlish wasn't meant for English speakers to understand. It was a way for our ancestors and early settlers to communicate with one another because they lack a common language. The only way Malay, Chinese, Indians could communicate was through a pidgin that developed into a creole language. Don't worry, we don't expect you to know Singlish, it's cringe when others try to imitate it as well. For the Mandarin, I'm pretty sure my Taiwanese and Malaysians have no problem understanding me. That's the same as how Singaporeans don't understand how some Northern Chinese speak as well.

U saw that 1990s mrt video? Anyway those English speakers were probably the wealthy upper middle class singaporeans from the colonial times pre 1960s that could afford a formal British education in private schools or something.....those newscasters that u saw on TV in the 1980s Majority of the local population the peasantry 90 percent learnt English from local teachers from the public education system hence they speak English with a heavy local sinkie accent...... And is usually not as posh or refined or elegant as the native English speakers from Britain or wherever.......

Singaporeans in 1980's speak Chinese, Malay etc and that's when we are the fastest growing economy. now youngster like speak english but working attitude cannot make it. jialat

@@ze5627 what is the title of this movie

"I went to ask a direction in Singapore..." London? R.I.P. English. We're just as confused as you are.

I find the Geordie accent easier to understand compared to the Northern Irish or Glaswegian accents. In Asia where Man Utd is one of the most popular clubs, they often had to subtitle Sir Alex Ferguson's interviews even in English-language media.

Chop vegetables head = Potong Kepala Sayur ( Malay)

@@patricktjia I can't speak Hokkien before I learned Hokkien by myself when I was 15. Now I'm 18, I can speak and write Hokkien in fluent. In addition, I'm the only Hokkien speaker in my class.

I bet you read the subtitles. 😂

掠著

Their accent plus their pronunciation and lack of knowledge of how to make a proper sentence is what makes it difficult to understand, I'm not that great with english either since it's not my first language but I'm more used to listen the accent from USA and european countries

Trust me, we can understand lol. At least Americans probably can because even our own English is so broken and full of words from other languages we can pretty much pick up any accent/dialect/etc out there lol. Not to mention the very large amount of immigrants. You can honestly get by pretty well here with even basic English.

I’m from New Zealand and I can understand about 70% of it. It’s not too hard but not as easy as English from other countries.

I'm a native English speaker from South Africa and understood nearly all they were saying, except for the few slang/loan words here and there. Probably helps that many people here have a very strong accent when speaking English too, so I'm more used to different pronunciation, and we also have tons of loan words from other languages. Funnily enough, I found this easier to understand than some British accent videos I watched lol, some of those are impossible, not to mention that Irish farmer, I've watched that video like 5 times and still barely have a clue what he is even saying (and he's speaking English!)

With subtitles sure... irl they're speaking very fast with a thick accent. It would be very hard to pick up in real time.

@@xXxSkyViperxXx oh fr? I forgot how many Chinese lived in the Philippines for a moment haha

​@@eloisanzara237 QC, or maybe these days the gov wants to now call itself as Kyusi lol. the original name of the city itself has hokkien roots as a surname, albeit hispanicized cuz of that president's father who worked for the spaniards before and married a spanish mestiza, even taught spanish and died with the spaniards in some church in baler. up to today, there's not really any real census data too to know how many chinese filipinos are in ph, especially many are mixed and others are old colonial-era assimilated families complicating things. im mostly still pure tho with no living relatives having any citizenship elsewhere but ph. the hokkien they use in the video is mostly the same as what my parents and grandparents use. the few mandarin they used i also recognize from what was taught in the filchi school im from before. the only thing strange about them is their english accent and when they talk about vegetable head or horse running which makes no sense in the hokkien of ph. i know tho that singaporean hokkien also has malay mixed in, which of course we have no idea of, but philippine hokkien also has a few spanish and tagalog loanwords, cuz siguro they spoke spanish before rin like we do with english now, and tagalog particles are very implicit lang talaga.

well maybe you're used to hearing people pronounce English words incorrectly. I'm from the U.S and I'd say I picked up 40% of it. Had it not been for the subtitles I probably would understand less to be honest.

No surprise there, Malaysia and Singapore literally neighbors lo

Singlish, in and of itself, isn't beautiful. Really, it isn't. What it is, is that it's a product of its environment. Efficient, straightforward, not always polite and a hodge-podge of culture. And it definitely isn't a language. It being a language implies that it can be learnt. I don't think it's that simple. Singlish is a way of life. You can only learn the lingo by immersing yourself in the culture, and therein lies the beauty. Every Malay knows Jialat. Every Chinese knows Goondu. Every Indian knows suka-suka. Even with less-than-stellar English skills, all 3 can understand each other.

You mean broken English?
