Actually, there is a more efficient language than English or Chinese in Singapore, its call Singlish ( a mix of English, Chinese, Malay). Its the worlds more efficient spoken language. Haha. Anything in pure English or Chinese can be condensed into just a few words.
I’m a German with pretty good Mandarin, maybe I should move to Singapore hahaha😂. I totally like the vibe in these videos, seems like a really cool place.
Fuyoo!! Sherr power lah!! The rest eat too much potato that’s why. Happy to see Sherr again. Thanks TMTV for inviting her to this video. #SherrAkaMaggie #NoHorseRun 💕🤣👍
I love Chinese and Japanese! Chinese characters are so beautiful and they sound beautifully! I wish someday I can Speak them! It is good to be polyglot isnt it?
now try to memorise 4000 of those chinese characters, learn every single strokes of each character, learn its individual meanings, and its pronunciation. once uve done dat, come back and tell me whether u still like it or not
Barely surprising.. some caucasians can speak much better Mandarin than local Chinese people. All I can say is I'm very thankful to have met my Chinese teacher back in school & I know my mandarin is much better than these people. Just saying.. Btw not everyone uses coaster I believe :)
@@allabtshow couldn't agree more! I've always seen a lot of caucasian that are really good in various Asian languages! I should be thankful to my mum then! 😊 If not for my chinese tuition when I'm young. My Chinese used to be very bad. 😅 Indeed, coasters aren't that common.
TMTV, I like what you are doiing, is like a movement to improve mandarin standard. (Better than the "speak mandarin campaign" ! 👍👍 I'm the very fluent in mandarin kind by SG standard, can communicate with Taiwanese, Malaysian Chinese and PRC chinese etc (95%, but some words like face wash, "bathroom" they got different words in mainland and taiwanese mandarin etc). But your channel is doing a good job, maybe some day.... maybe some day you can make a list of these people who cannot speak mandarin fluent (actually i think the people here that you interviewed a number are the cannot even speak mandarin level, as good as a chinese speaking a few japanese words etc). Maybe some day if you can make a list of those people who want to learn mandarin maybe we can come out with something, I even know malaysian indian who can speak mandarin, maybe some day. We are our race we got to be proud of our own ethnic language not happily or proudly throw it away like many of the younger people here, that way we will end up with chinese who are "fake whites" (both guys and girls) who will happily white worship instead, end result becomes same like the asian americans, that's why they got so much "outmarriage" rates. 加油加油 TMTV, start your new movement, and good job your mandarin improved. 👍👍
Wow! What a long message! Thank you for your thoughts!! We will definitely take it to mind and implement :p And you are rightt!! We are starting a movement!! Not only speak good mandarin, but speak good MOTHER TONGUE! Our first project is Jmiah(which is me) lol. Have a good day:D
As a malaysian Chinese It is funny to see Chinese struggles with their mother tongue😲 I mean....Come on can't even deal with those common words/phrases in Chinese
Why are you saying this? They just need more practice, you don't have to say its so simple. Even when you started learning, it was obviously difficult, so stop comparing and being boastful as that will never get you to anywhere in life.
to be honest mandarin is not our mother tongue.for example.indonesia chinese.all off indonesia chinese not speak mandarin.but speak chinese etnic language like hokkian.;cantonese;.hakka.etc;.to be honest our mother tongue langguage not mandarin .but chinese etnic like hokkian:.cantonese:.hakka:etc
@@ЛэйЧжан-ь8м of course not the same.speak in chinese ethnic dialect than mandarin. to be honest our mother tongue language is not mandarin.maybe hokkian.or hakka or cantonese.etc.so iam not ashame if i can not speak mandarin fluently.i will be ashame when i cannot speak my mother tongue language.like hokkian and hakka.because my father hokkkian and my mother hakka.cause that i fluently speak hokkian and hakka.than mandarin.
As a mainland chinese, for me it's interesting to see that singaporean speaking english with chinese grammar. It feels like one can't speaking their mother tongue yet their mind still thinking like native speaker
ikr. Some of them even have very limited vocab and poor grammar/sentence structure in English too but they keep saying they can speak perfect English too especially when communicating with foreigners which I sincerely doubted. the fact that they have too many languages is really not an excuse. I mean English is their only academic language right if they can't even speak English well there must be something wrong with the educational system i guess
Can’t blame them, they have difficulty appreciating the importance of speaking Mandarin because they weren’t shown why. I’m a proud Malay Singaporean who studied in Tianjin, and honestly mandarin is difficult because of ‘Hanzi’ or Chinese characters which is purely memorisation. Totally understandable.
Wow, I'm shocked, most of my Singaporean colleagues can speak Mandarin fluently. I used to think Singaporean Chinese are born bilingual speakers, seems I was wrong...
Omg singaporean should really improves their chinese, they cant even speak a sentence fluently, malaysians are really much better in this. Truly hope singapore chinese does smtg regarding to their mother tongue
其实我可以理解了读liao的原因 大概上世纪初北京话也是这样读的，就像和读han 虽然总的来说大陆普通话扶正了很多北京土语作为标准普通话词汇，但是台湾国语和新马华语也扶正了一些北京土话词汇。 - Try to translate with my poor English :-) I can understand the reason why “了“ is pronounced as "liao" in Singaporean and Malaysian Mandarin. "了" is pronounced as "liao" in local Beijing dialect in the beginning of the 20th century, just as "和" pronounced as "han" in Taiwan Mandarin. Though quite a huge amount of Beijing local words and slangs are standardized in mainland Chinese mandarin, some other Beijing words are also standardized by Mandarin in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.

I was shocked when I reached Tuas checkpoint of Singapore with a Chinese custom officer spoke to me in Classical Mandarin. It's surprised to see that, because I expected those Singaporeans would use their condescending Singlish to speak with me. It's a really "WOW" experience and I think Singaporeans are trying to embrace their ancestral roots and their sense of belonging.😁😁
😂your Chinese is so good! A lot of us don’t like Chinese because it’s so difficult to learn. The reason why we all are bad at it is because almost everyone’s parents don’t speak chinese consistently, as such we all aren’t used to it. We don’t want to be either haha
@@kim-vw4wr as an Indian..... I've never met anyone who can't speak Hindi , our mother tounge Then why is it so different in China I've watched a lot of Chinese drama and tbh I can speak a few words even with they are usually the one used in love-dramas Or like at least i can understand it quite nicely... What do y'all usually speak if not Chinese...
Saying Liao feels like southeast asian chinese culture , actually it’s pretty common saying liao instead of le for us, we could change it to le when speaking to Mainland or Taiwan Chinese.
unlike what some people commented.... the guy with a PRC shanghai born friend or gfren is NOT PRC born converted singaporean . No, he is not , based on his english sound and accents. he does speaks mandarin slightly different from most sinkees maybe because of a few factors: he mandarin tuition teachers or teachers from school from young age might be from china / taiwan or have more proper mandarin pronunciation setting. or he stayed some years in China/ taiwan and most likely due to his fact his Gfriend is from PRC .
I think that those people that are proud of being bad are chinese are kinda immature. I mean like we are Chinese we ought to know how to speak it. What's so proud of being bad in it. Honeslty I hope that we youngsters can improve our chinese and start liking the language instead of hating it.
@@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184 Yeah same here. My current circumstances and family roots in America weakened our Chinese considerably. It's always a great idea to try to learn Chinese but don't let others put you down for not being fluent. Asian-Americans are a unique case in their own way.
@@chia-haochou8102 le is a particle in Standard Mandarin which indicates perfective aspect e.g. zhidao-le 知道了 to have known or an interjective particle 明天是周六了; while liao is a verb, e.g. liaojie 了解 liaoran 了然. The particle 了 can be read as LIAO only in Peotic situation in Standard Mandarin.
@@aiweiliu1223 I also heard 了 is also pronounced 'Liao' in like Hokkien or something, which is the predominant dialect group in Singapore, and that may have influenced Singapore Mandarin. But I'm not native Singaporean and no one in Singapore really speaks other Chinese Varieties nowadays so idk.
Those who only knows 1 language is going to lose out so much opportunity. After that complain difficult to find job or why another guy came in later promoted faster than u.
Very true. I do not know Chinese myself but I learned Vietnamese instead. With changing economics and shifting factors of production, it's always a good idea to learn another language.
"English is important" is because only we are in Singapore. Different country got different "settings". If in Malaysia Bahasa Malaysia is most important, followed by Mandarin, then English etc. If in thailand then thai language first. Our Singapore happen to be the only one after WW2, "merdeka" but realised our majority is not the indigenous population so to be fair they didn't make mandarin the main language but stick with English, end up we become like a "fake western" country. We are not US, we are not UK, we are not Canada, Australia, we are also not even part of western europe. Just happens so. Same for India, they funny they didn't use hindi or any one of the indian language as the main. The south koreans, the japanese and the taiwanese doing a wonderful job keeping their language and heritage.
@Jacky Phantom If in Taiwan, English is pretty much useless. I'm like a translator between Taiwanese people and foreigners when I was there. In Malaysia, both english and mandarin are useful. Sometimes mandarin even more useful, (100% the chinese malaysians can understand), english to non-chinese malaysians maybe 25% chance they understand. In Indonesia both languages would be useless but the indonesian chinese will either know some bit of mandarin or english. I have also met 2 or 3 vietnamese who can speak mandarin, so for this region it is quite useful as well. On top of it, I speak zero japanese, but japanese texts or anything uses some of the same chinese words, so even if reading you can roughly guess what is the context e.g. (Now I'm also learning Japanese). Bonus points is I realised more and more mainland china people coming out of china as tourists (other than Singapore, the only PRC coming here mostly are from the least developed provinces coming to work. Except sometimes some PRC coming in here as tourists. [Clothing sense very different])
The lady should not have said "Lao" is wrong. There is no right or wrong pronunciation. She does not understand our culture（Southerner) and that Singaporean Chinese are all from southern China and the "Liao" is actually used in both Cantonese and Hokkien.
The sad thing about people from Singapore is that they are not only bad in Chinese but also have very weird English pronunciation and a lot of Grammar errors. As a result, they are basically not good at any language.
Louis Chen yeahhh finally I can find someone that have the same thinking like me. I dont mind about grammar because speaking and writing are totally different, so it's ok. I even dont know what their native language is. I feel their English is like Cantonese speaking English. Even the lady who is from Shanghai, her English accent is still better than them :))). Anyway, I never go to Singapo so I have no idea how about the other people 🤣
I’m a Canadian who only speaks English (and a bit of Japanese) but I think it’s so interesting how you get correct answers with clearly different dialects. Just goes to show how diverse Cantonese can be (or is this mixing Cantonese/mandarin/etc.? I dunno)
Irfan Aditya no. I didnt say everybody should know English well. I mean they think their native language now is English and dont keep studing mother language - Chinese anymore. But the important is they even werent good at both of them. Their accent is even worse than the Shanghai-Chinese girl speaking. I feel sad for them so I wonder how Singaporeans will be in the future :(. English is my second language and chinese is the third one. I still keep improving Chinese because I love it❤ ❤
I'm bad in Chinese and I'm proud of that, not meaning that learning Chinese is bad, but if someone need to talk to us, they should learn the language that I know not theirs
@@chaojiang6246 C'mon, some of them (including me) just understand that a language itself won't actually make someone proud, but the language we mastered back then somehow will help us survive a situation in future which make us proud. Did you get me? The "SURVIVAL" which make us proud. When I learn good English today, not the "English" itself will drive me to the "PROUD", but when I managed to settle something where involved high-level English, the "SUCCESS" of survive will make me proud of having English as my second language. Just like that.
Their mandarin level is worse than my expectations. Some of them cant even guess a single word in mandarin, that’s ridiculous. Being chinese and dont even know the simplest thing like spoon and fork. What a shame
Sorry to differ. Don't think it's a shame when one doesn't acquired the Mandarin language. Maybe these ppl know how to speak the other Chinese language like Cantonese, Hokkein, Teochew, Hakka, etc cause there are many more Chinese language, just that Mandarin has been used as a unification language in China (correct me if I'm wrong) in the past.
OOOO how come the guy with the girl from Shanghai didnt have any singaporean accent at all when speaking mandarin?? His Chinese might be not so fluent as native speakers but I cant really tell he's from Singapore when I only hear some single words he said, I even thought he was born and raised in mainland China in the first place, that's awesome!

(Better than the "speak mandarin campaign" ! 👍👍 I'm the very fluent in mandarin kind by SG standard, can communicate with Taiwanese, Malaysian Chinese and PRC chinese etc (95%, but some words like face wash, "bathroom" they got different words in mainland and taiwanese mandarin etc). But your channel is doing a good job, maybe some day.... maybe some day you can make a list of these people who cannot speak mandarin fluent (actually i think the people here that you interviewed a number are the cannot even speak mandarin level, as good as a chinese speaking a few japanese words etc). Maybe some day if you can make a list of those people who want to learn mandarin maybe we can come out with something, I even know malaysian indian who can speak mandarin, maybe some day. We are our race we got to be proud of our own ethnic language not happily or proudly throw it away like many of the younger people here, that way we will end up with chinese who are "fake whites" (both guys and girls) who will happily white worship instead, end result becomes same like the asian americans, that's why they got so much "outmarriage" rates. 加油加油 TMTV, start your new movement, and good job your mandarin improved. 👍👍

We have too many languages. So we just mix all of em’ together.
I'm thinking of that as well man
ikr. Some of them even have very limited vocab and poor grammar/sentence structure in English too but they keep saying they can speak perfect English too especially when communicating with foreigners which I sincerely doubted.
the fact that they have too many languages is really not an excuse. I mean English is their only academic language right if they can't even speak English well there must be something wrong with the educational system i guess
they speak singlish
They speak Singlish, a combination of Hokkien, English, Chinese, some Malay. As the saying goes jack of all trades, master of none.
Great job interviewing. Enjoyable video!
Can’t blame them, they have difficulty appreciating the importance of speaking Mandarin because they weren’t shown why. I’m a proud Malay Singaporean who studied in Tianjin, and honestly mandarin is difficult because of ‘Hanzi’ or Chinese characters which is purely memorisation. Totally understandable.
I will blame the Parents. Just like my Parents not teaching me Hokkien,

it’s because they mainly use english in daily conversations. but mix that with chinese whenever seems fit. what you see in this video is the product.

Omg singaporean should really improves their chinese, they cant even speak a sentence fluently, malaysians are really much better in this. Truly hope singapore chinese does smtg regarding to their mother tongue
They just need to practice more, no need for comparing.

其实我可以理解了读liao的原因
大概上世纪初北京话也是这样读的，就像和读han
虽然总的来说大陆普通话扶正了很多北京土语作为标准普通话词汇，但是台湾国语和新马华语也扶正了一些北京土话词汇。

Try to translate with my poor English :-)
I can understand the reason why “了“ is pronounced as "liao" in Singaporean and Malaysian Mandarin.
"了" is pronounced as "liao" in local Beijing dialect in the beginning of the 20th century, just as "和" pronounced as "han" in Taiwan Mandarin.
Though quite a huge amount of Beijing local words and slangs are standardized in mainland Chinese mandarin, some other Beijing words are also standardized by Mandarin in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
其实是因为新马福建话（闽南语）和潮州话表示完成就是用liau，就和新加坡人在问句时和感叹路喜欢加meh和lor（广东话/粤语助词）一样。

unlike what some people commented.... the guy with a PRC shanghai born friend or gfren is NOT PRC born converted singaporean .

@@aiweiliu1223 I also heard 了 is also pronounced 'Liao' in like Hokkien or something, which is the predominant dialect group in Singapore, and that may have influenced Singapore Mandarin. But I'm not native Singaporean and no one in Singapore really speaks other Chinese Varieties nowadays so idk.
Those who only knows 1 language is going to lose out so much opportunity. After that complain difficult to find job or why another guy came in later promoted faster than u.

Very true. I do not know Chinese myself but I learned Vietnamese instead. With changing economics and shifting factors of production, it's always a good idea to learn another language.

No specific meaning. It comes from malay language. But then become malaysian and singaporean english slang
Chinese is important, but English is more important 😄 come jurong to film another eps🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Both are equally important :D
JURONG! Need passport sia.
"English is important" is because only we are in Singapore. Different country got different "settings". If in Malaysia Bahasa Malaysia is most important, followed by Mandarin, then English etc. If in thailand then thai language first. Our Singapore happen to be the only one after WW2, "merdeka" but realised our majority is not the indigenous population so to be fair they didn't make mandarin the main language but stick with English, end up we become like a "fake western" country. We are not US, we are not UK, we are not Canada, Australia, we are also not even part of western europe. Just happens so. Same for India, they funny they didn't use hindi or any one of the indian language as the main. The south koreans, the japanese and the taiwanese doing a wonderful job keeping their language and heritage.

@Jacky Phantom Where are you from? That is half the truth only. I speak both, so I think I have a better perspective.
@Jacky Phantom If in Taiwan, English is pretty much useless. I'm like a translator between Taiwanese people and foreigners when I was there. In Malaysia, both english and mandarin are useful. Sometimes mandarin even more useful, (100% the chinese malaysians can understand), english to non-chinese malaysians maybe 25% chance they understand. In Indonesia both languages would be useless but the indonesian chinese will either know some bit of mandarin or english. I have also met 2 or 3 vietnamese who can speak mandarin, so for this region it is quite useful as well. On top of it, I speak zero japanese, but japanese texts or anything uses some of the same chinese words, so even if reading you can roughly guess what is the context e.g. (Now I'm also learning Japanese). Bonus points is I realised more and more mainland china people coming out of china as tourists (other than Singapore, the only PRC coming here mostly are from the least developed provinces coming to work. Except sometimes some PRC coming in here as tourists. [Clothing sense very different])

The lady should not have said "Lao" is wrong. There is no right or wrong pronunciation. She does not understand our culture（Southerner) and that Singaporean Chinese are all from southern China and the "Liao" is actually used in both Cantonese and Hokkien.
The sad thing about people from Singapore is that they are not only bad in Chinese but also have very weird English pronunciation and a lot of Grammar errors. As a result, they are basically not good at any language.
Louis Chen yeahhh finally I can find someone that have the same thinking like me. I dont mind about grammar because speaking and writing are totally different, so it's ok. I even dont know what their native language is. I feel their English is like Cantonese speaking English. Even the lady who is from Shanghai, her English accent is still better than them :))). Anyway, I never go to Singapo so I have no idea how about the other people 🤣
Yeah because your country NEVER use slang that only locals from your province understand, right?
I’m a Canadian who only speaks English (and a bit of Japanese) but I think it’s so interesting how you get correct answers with clearly different dialects. Just goes to show how diverse Cantonese can be (or is this mixing Cantonese/mandarin/etc.? I dunno)

Maybe these ppl know how to speak the other Chinese language like Cantonese, Hokkein, Teochew, Hakka, etc cause there are many more Chinese language, just that Mandarin has been used as a unification language in China (correct me if I'm wrong) in the past.
