It's the influence of Chinese dialect (and pasar Malay) when learning from non-native-speaker teachers. E.g. unlike "original" Englishes, which are stress-timed, Singlish is syllable-timed like Southern Chinese languages. That's why you get (in Singlish) the staccato "pow-der-foo" timing instead of (English) "POWderful" where POW is longer than "derful", which contributes to making Singlish sound very different from most Englishes.
Whilst this is supposedly comical, it is SO ACCURATE it hurts. I have lived in Australia with an SG wife for 20 years and whilst she has "toned it down" some pronunciations NEVER change. It's so beautiful, and a real connection/identity with her SG roots. Gosh we have fun on our annual trips to the "Little Red Dot"!
You forgot “Forgotten” in Singapore we say “FOR-GO-TERN” In England they say “FOR-GO-TH-EN” Also “Milo”. England say “MI-LO”. Singapore say “MEI-LO” 🤣 Edit: THANKS FOR LIKING!!!
robot robot oi ji bai what u say about singaporeans? U think we low IQ ah...look at u first lah if u think we low IQ u have one even lower for having such a thinking...why not cao ni ma? Oh ya forgot u oso no ma de...ka ni na bei chao ji bai
Joey Serenitywarfare Woah woah woah, being able to understand the local slang doesn't mean I can't speak and write proper English. Looking at the way you replied me, you are definitely not a Malaysian, unless you don't live with the locals or maybe you are not even a local?
I'm not sure if this is politically correct to say, but it seems to me like Singaporean pronunciation is purely a *Chinese accent on some of these English words.*
For us it's a way of understanding each other. Especially those who may not be good at speaking standard English, and because it's a national language.
Quach Giang I think the problem as to why we say dee ar and why others say there is school, THEU SUCK! Why can’t it just be the same all over the world? It’s very hard for me to do some maths and thinking just to change Primary to Grade since Americans say grades, I always have the explain what is Primary so I just do a quick thinking and figure it out, btw you are a year higher in the school for Americans, so P5 = Grade 6, K2 = Primary 1, Four years and about to start kindergarten = K1 or maybe because there’s one year of Kindergarten in America, idk
@@nurellyva5450 Er I get u, but the pronunciation of "their" as "there" is just the correct way, people who pronounce it as dee ar are mispronouncing. Either they didn't pay attention in English class or they just forgot.

W W she meant Singaporean Chinese. Which I agree to some extent, but I find that some of the words are shared by many singaporeans regardless of race, like flour and suicide.
