I used to date a Singaporean girl and she always failed to explain what these were, just said in SG people add "extra words that do not mean anything". This video just explains it straightforward, it's like saying "duh", lor
Yep many people who just grew up speaking the language and never understood it from a linguistics POV find it hard to explain the intricacies and grammatical features well, as it just comes naturally to them! Happens for any native language tbh
Singlish got so hard to learn meh? You listen to your colleague speak can liao lor. Also hor, must practise everyday ah! My American friends always say "Teach me Singlish leh..." But then I really don't know why siah. I tell them them, "OY, we are in America lah, use Singlish for wat?"
Thanks for this video! I like the creativity. The modifier particles don't seem too hard... but I really had trouble understanding this speaker's words. Many of those words I never would have guessed without them being written out. For example, his "one" sounds like "on" to me.
HAHAH I felt awkward watching this LOL like introspect my English HAHHAH who use words like "incredulity" and "skepticism" to describe our words LOL great video mothership! made me smile :)
🙏 Thank You So Much Mothership channel & Changi Airport for this insightful tutorial on some of the uniqueness of how some Singaporeans or Residents speak their Singaporean English! Looks like Singlish are mixtures of English + Hokkien + Malay languages or words! 😮🙏
Thank you so much for this funny and fascinating look at Singlish! I was just wandering youtube out of curiousity after a wikipedia dive, but this really helps me understand the tones and useage that I was just reading about.
This is super helpful, even years after your first posted it! (Of course I wanted to add a particle of some sort to the end here but wasn't sure if lah or leh or something else was the best to add for emphasis)
At the end of this video, you will know how to use the words and form the sentences like: Got Speak Good Singlish Movement one meh? Liddat the whole world just type Singlish liao. What is this chiobu's name sia? I want to know her lah. Can a not ah? Her angmoh oso not bad leh. Good lor, this one take b4 covid.
@@efx I mean they've all been borrowed into Singlish since long ago. Buay tahan especially is unequivocally a Singlish phrase as it's a mix of words from the Hokkien and Malay languages (though tahan was borrowed into SG Hokkien as well)
it basically is lol! it's our own island creole with our local languages taken into in the lexicon, just like all the carribean island creoles with african/indian words etc borrowed in
Singlish is the worst language in sea imo. I can even understand TH, VN or any other asean countries english better than SG. I literally asked the immigration officer "pardon" 3x about what shes saying before i could understand it. The biggest problem is trying to talk fast even if you know the words but cant pronounce it well.
This is hilarious. The dude sounds idiotic bad grammar, and hopefully spelling was for effects cause that’s wrong too. No one can legitimately take you seriously speaking like that
Singapore and Malaysia need to have English speakimg teachers with British, US or Australian accent to teach from Primary One to at least Primary 6 in order to sound more like a native speaker from one of these countries. 😂
I am sorry but ‘singlish’ is just incorrect English come on, you talk about it like it is a dialect, dialects or accents such as Australian English, or Irish accent or UK accent, these dialects are still grammatically correct. Singlish is just Fd up, also lazy and not pronouncing half of what you should. Very ugly. We should refuse this so called singlish to be acknowledged, it is just a reason for them to accept people who can not speak proper English

Singlish needs many years of practice and speaking in order master this beautiful language! Mai siao siao loh!
Should be “Mai siao siao ah”, “loh” feels off here.
The English used in the Speak Good Singlish programme is way too English. Can do like that meh?
Ya lor, si bei cute leh, sweetie sia. Envy him la. So pretty colleague

Man this is so usefull! Love the setting/examples too. The airport is SO nice.

Excellent (though short) overview! By the way, it was only at 1:33 that I realized the song was from Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2.

Good ….singlish …. I like the sound of singlish… role and twist tongue ❤️😊

I am surprised Mothership got video that teach Singlish, really shock me sia.
really loled at the "bo tscheng hu" machine
naise channel ah!
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Metropolis at 01:03
Singlish sounds fun but I am not sure if I want to learn it. Dealing with my Chinglish is enough work already.
At the end of this video, you will know how to use the words and form the sentences like:
Got Speak Good Singlish Movement one meh? Liddat the whole world just type Singlish liao. What is this chiobu's name sia? I want to know her lah. Can a not ah? Her angmoh oso not bad leh. Good lor, this one take b4 covid.
How about how to speak bad singlish ???
okay gonna try this on our next office meeting 😂😂😂
i love her smile
Why is the song in this video a remix of Metropolis Zone
I’m here to impress my coworkers
What's a bo tseng hu machine? :-)
I wanna ask are these sentence modification means the same when you talk Chinese?
我想知道，這些語氣講華語的時候也一樣的意思嗎？
没错。因为这些助词就是来自华语
I mostly use thing like “Wah really? 50% off!?” Or “aiyo lah I just clean the floor now u drop milk!? Aiyoo
Singlish should be recognized as one creole language lah!
The background music sounds kind of like Metropolis Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Kesini gara" Pak dosen sagil😂 alamakkk
waah shiok la this video
Kind of similar to the Hawaiian pidgin language.
Sounds so awkward and forced sometimes haha
why am i here la , typical malaysian teen myself rlly interested into this singlish thing meh . 😹
东尼大木老师去新加坡了吗？
That’s so hard to remember lah
1st day in Singapore, it was hard to understand their accent especially old Singaporeans...
Dont forget "issit"
isn't that a contraction
That’s not a modifier at all. ISSIT - that’s how they pronounce the IS IT.
@@MAID_in_LONDON issit? Sorry lah
Paiseh lol
@@MAID_in_LONDONit is, it is used in ways that English "is it" cannot e.g. "you last time buy that same one issit"
Is this mixture considered a good, legitimate language to learn? Or is it just vulgar English?
You can do dialect next.
came looking for the meaning of lah... did i miss it or is it not included in this video?!
2:05
Doesn’t it come naturally from my mouth. Didn’t know need to teach😂😂😂
How come nobody in the airport is wearing mask?
b4 covid
Don't put in lah in cold because I understand cola
"Siah" is wat sia? Sia from sial wat! Why keep sino-cizing everything one!
No one can escape sinicization 😢
Thats very interesting
Sadly, many Singaporeans think too highly of themselves, if they met people from the third world countries.
Chan Chun Sing is Good in Singlish.. 😽😸😹
He doesn't speak Singlish. It just that his English accent is not that good.
@@xxl5712 CCS like to say "Kee Chiu", "XiaSuay" and "Buay Tahan" these are Singlish loh
@@sgfuture9472 those are Chinese dialects and not Singlish.
@@efx I mean they've all been borrowed into Singlish since long ago. Buay tahan especially is unequivocally a Singlish phrase as it's a mix of words from the Hokkien and Malay languages (though tahan was borrowed into SG Hokkien as well)
it's sound like Pidgin English.. but Asian version
it basically is lol! it's our own island creole with our local languages taken into in the lexicon, just like all the carribean island creoles with african/indian words etc borrowed in
As if English wasn't hard enough
She's so pretty and curvy
atleast promote sia lol
Sonic 2 music tho...

ok lor
win liao lor
Singlish standard is higher than English. That's why you have difficulty to understand. Only intelligent people can easily understand it. 😅😁😅
Anyways its just a diverse language in Malaysia.
bo wei gong liao loh!
Omg......
More confused then ever.
This is hilarious. The dude sounds idiotic bad grammar, and hopefully spelling was for effects cause that’s wrong too. No one can legitimately take you seriously speaking like that
Who would want to speak like that?!
the population of singapore

1st
Cringe Lah
Got good Singlish meh? Never heard before leh. Singlish where got good one siah? Singlish meant to be broken English hor.. hahahehehuhu....
Ahh so wrong this not good English leh
Mega cringe
it's not an accent, it's a drop in quality
*they hated Jesus because He told them the truth*
It's a different language and i dare say a more beautiful one.
Why teach ppl how to speak the wrong way?i guess you gotta do any content to make videos=$$$

Singlish is just Fd up, also lazy and not pronouncing half of what you should. Very ugly.

By that same logic Afrikaans is just incorrect and Fd up Dutch
Skill issue lmao learn to speak singlish properly else dont kpkb
So horrible 😂
