This was a fun one! I especially learned alot of Singlish phrases! Hope yall enjoyed the video 😄 -Christina 🇺🇸
I enjoyed the videos. It was interesting and cool. Christina, Although these times are difficult I invite You to visit Russia anytime.
Christina ma bae!
oh you have youtube channel,., gonna subscribe now,., love love love from Philippines
You are a very funny girl, Christina... Have a great day! 😃❤
Good group of individuals to do the video. You work well together.
Thank you for having me here on this video!! Hope you guys enjoyed learning about Singlish!! ❤️🇸🇬 Singlish has a lot of words and phrases adapted from or directly translated from our different languages like Mandarin Chinese, Malay, Tamil and Chinese dialects etc. It is a really interesting language! :)
The enjoyment amongst the group makes the video even better. It looks like you all had fun making the video.
jo making everybody wanna learn singlish sia hehe so proud 🤭🇸🇬
"bae" kinda sounds like the "bei" in "bao bei". Kinda.
@@kelliechaw hahaha it is such a fun language! imagine people casually using it hahaha
@@garyfontenot2786 thank you!!!!
"Wait long long" is actually also a direct translation from Mandarin, "等久久". Singlish actually adapts a lot of words from mandarin, malay and some tamil since these are the commonest languages used by the 4 major populations in Singapore. This is either by adapting the word completely (as in "makan") or direct translation ("吐血" to "vomit blood)
Singlish also adapts words from dialects like hokkien and teo chew as many of our ancestors speak different dialects. the phase “wait long long” is not actually from mandarin but from hokkien
But do note singlish is not a proper language its actually improper English
@@islaong9638 Singlish is exactly what is says, a mash up of English and Singaporean dialects. It's like using Chinglish (Chinese and English), Spanglish ( Spanish and English), so it's not "improper" English and it was never framed this way. But if we want to be really technical here, English is a mash up of a heap of other languages. German, French, Latin, Norse and probably a whole heap of other influences.
I learned so many fun phrases from Christina and Jo! What are your favourite USA/AUS/SING for phrases?
I love “you wait long long” 🤣 - Grace 🇦🇺
You wait long long is quite common in singapore and vomit blood is like everywhere.
@@BlueMistYT vomit blood was also a good one! So shocking to hear 😅
Mostly in my place we put Ah behind long so it would go ‘you wait long long ah’
@@Jaevyeo For me in Singapore we use it as wait long long lah
Christina and Grace's faces when they hear 'vomit blood' are priceless!
an easier explanation for “you wait long long” is like using “dream on” in a sarcastic way
Bae isn't an acronym, that's an example of a backronym, an acronym created from an already existing word. Christina's first intuition was correct, it originated as an abbreviation of "baby" or "babe".
It's like Australians love to just diminutize everything, even dangerous things. I think it may be a part of, or a result of their mentality/attitude, which really shows when it comes to experiencing negative things, like disasters. They laugh it up. Which is a healthy attitude to have.
Ahahaha the Singlish phrase selection... Chefs kiss. Lol. And props to Jo for the pristine education
Being Malay, I understand some of the phrases in Singlish. Because Singlish combines Malay, Mandarin and English. I heard about 'vomit blood' from wuxia novels.
And dialect too . Hokkien especially .
courting death! 😅
so many written in wuxia novels till i want to vomit blood 😙
This was fun. For the record, I'm in Missouri (rural area in the middle of the US) and I've heard and used "what do you reckon" all my life. In this area at least it's a common phrase.
Yeah, it's kind of weird someone could have never heard it used. In most places everyone would know the phrase and the word, even if it is not as commonly used as it once was.
Its used in western pa
Also used in the South. I've heard it and used it all my life.
I believe Christina is from the northeast and we don’t commonly say it here.
can you say instead of " I think dogs are cute" " I reckon dogs are cute"? Or is it used only with a question about someone's opinion?
I love this three combination tho. They’re so freaking funny 😂😂
I love Christina and Grace in all of their videos so far!
singapore getting it's recognition as a country 🇸🇬🦁
(Singapore phrase) The immigration example for “chop here please” isn’t very accurate, the immigration officer will simply ‘chop’, they would never ask you to ‘chop’ anything but we do say ‘chop’ instead of ‘stamp’. To us when singaporean says stamp, we refer to postage stamp.
The officer might say that to a more senior fellow Singaporean, I think they will find "chop here please" pretty natural. But in schools the younger generation is taught that while we say "chop", the rest of the world uses "stamp", so I guess we are more aware about it.
I always laugh when the Aussie girl shows up, she's so humorous hahaha
Reckon is definitely used in the US... Especially down south and southwest
Christina is so friendly and symphatic.
Grace looks really friendly!!! ♡
Interesting to have singlish!
Christina and Grace Expression at 5:32 seeing and hearing Vomit Blood is just so funny. Singlish is King.
And now, I have to learn Singlish. 😍
Singlish cannot really be learnt. You need to experience and be immersed in it to understand it. Not an easy "language".
I’m from SG but I guess I have watched a ton of movies and shows from America and Australia and stuff so I knew most of these ☺️
6:00 we use the same in Turkey too “Kan kusmak”. “Kan” means ‘blood’ and “kusmak” means ‘to vomit’
Yes yes christana
7:46 Chop or cop is a Malay word for stamp (stamping with pressing, not postal stamp which is setem).
Fun phrases! I was mostly surprised by the ones from Singapore. The chop term makes sense to me because of Chinese chops or seals.
oh, no wonder, is it from chuo?戳
The "long long" had me in hysterics thats some grade "A" asian shade that i LIVE for haha lol. In the latin american borderlands and on up through the mid-southwest we have the same tendency to repeat words to add emphasis as in "was he skinny or skinny skinny?" [inflection on the second portion]. In Spanish its "estaba flaco o flaco flaco". "Ayay" is another common one. In English and Spanish around the border areas. older latina women "dishing the soup" or "soltando la sopa" (aka spilling the tea) will repeat the word "what" twice; as in: "Que Que" when they are scandalized by something. If your picturing Kyles mother from south park than thats the english equivalent. Except she says it "twhat twhat twhat" haha i feel i would be an intersting addition to this segment for american midwest-southwest influence.
Really fun share!
Wow Singapore phrases are so interesting love this video
so nice so beautiful
When everybody focus on whose accent is the best, I was busy thinking, where is that British girl?
well woman. But I liked her too. :)
@@pahis1248 I know it's a silly question, but can you let me know when do you call a person "woman" instead of "girl" please? Is it puberty, the age or other factors? English is not my first language so I often struggle with when to do the switch!
@@pahis1248 well it's none of ur business. It's ma kinda thing U better stfu n mind on ur own.I know what I'm doing. I didn't really care bout how old she is, she's married or unmarried, to me she seems like a little girl so I used a girl, why so serious bruh. I'm just adding a chill 😎.
@@petitsjoujoux5011 when in casual speech, “girl” is sometimes used interchangeably with “woman.” I think it’s partly because girl only has one syllable, but it might also have to do with the fact that woman are valued more then younger. Thus even women occasionally self-identify as “girls.”
Sorry it confuses you! I would take it as part of the culture of English speakers.
@@petitsjoujoux5011 This was only my opinion. Nothing else . imo
I'm surprised I totally get the vibe of the "vomit blood" expression and then I realize that that phrase is also used (but not widely these days) in Thailand for similar situations. We say "รากเลือด (vomit blood)" in very frustrating situations that have to be endured.
Love this content!
Yaya Papaya! That's a great song from BabyMetal!
I reckon Grace is a sweetheart.
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Heyy I was watching this video and just remembered. Malay and Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) can sometimes be mixed up. Like makan in malay and indonesian is the same, it means eat. However some words are different.
Anyways, love from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Grace cheers also does apply to drinking so the Singapore girl and the USA were both right .
I love those Singapore phrases!!
I hope Australia incorporates some of them!! Haha
Love from India 🇮🇳 christina ❣️
“Chop” came from colonial Indian English/ Hong Kong English, apparently from the Hindi word “chaap”. I think using it as a verb however, is quite a singlish/Malaysian English thing.
Oohh I see it now
Thanks for your job. I hope you will make some videos about different accents and expressions in other languages like French (France's, Belgium's, Quebec's, Africa's,...) or Spanish (Spain's, Mexico's,...).
haha I just knew english phrases from singapore ,, adding my english phrases ;D good job!!
In Tennessee I hear 'reckon' pretty often, at least once or twice a day I'd say. Not as often but I do hear it on a regular basis.
Nice and new
We need a Nigerian with the participants next time please!! Nigerian Pidgin English is so cool!
reckon is very common in southern u.s my grandparents who are from the south always say "what do you reckon?" instead think.
Christina is always beautiful🤘
Singapore is very interesting country I've ever been. Singaporean can switch the languages based on which language you speak. lol English is JUST one of the languages then can speak in.
chop is actually the description of the downward movement. when u have to stamp something, it's typically a pushing down action, hence, chop!
Should have added another phrase in the Singlish terms which is: “ Laugh die me “ also known as LOL or lmfao in Singapore.
Also direct translation 笑死我 🤣
Never heard anyone in sg who uses that phrase
@@an_xon Hahaha Yeah!
@@kylerayner7018 If you have singaporean friends who use Singlish often, you will hear that frequently. Also, we use it in text/message all the time.
@@bu-ro born and raised in singapore for the past 20 years. Went to normal neighbour hood schools too. But ive never heard anyone use laugh die me
i like grace so much IDK WHY
chop here please is my favorite and i may start saying it !!
cheers in Australia is clinking drinks. To start a conversation and enjoy a drink together , it now is being used on some occasions in an informal conversation to leave a dialog mostly accompanied with mate to be polite but shouldn't be used in a formal or written form to end email or conversation, only an informal dialog with people who are pissed like you to be honest.
You're creative keep going✨✨✨✨✨..
Sender:your brother (Baraa) from Palestine
🇵🇸🇺🇸
Christana is the best
Damn that chop one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Malaysia also use chop here please
Chop in Singapore and Malyasia has roots from colonial Indian English
A similar word in Indonesian is cap that sounds like chap in the sentence "that old chap next door". The Indonesian meaning could vary from stamping a document, applying a printed company logo on a product, to having your fingerprints "cap-ed" for passport biometrics.
Nice video, girls 🙂👍
Wow. Mind blown . I thought chop was normal
Yeah we say bloke, cheers, and reckon in that context in Britain too, I assume they originate from here,
All the royalty free music playing in the background. lmao
5:30
Ah- I remember when my band teacher kept saying we were making him vomit blood LOL
Since Christina is from the Northeast US (me too) I was expecting her to bring up “wicked” when talking about “that’s sick.”
Bang Chan and Felix: I'll have a shrimp on a Barbie
Me: *finally watching this video and realizing it meant barbeque...😳😳😳😳
So..in my personal experience living in the US my whole life, the word “reckon” is used quite frequently. I have lived in mostly small town type of places, which might matter 🤷♂️
we use "makan" in indonesia too for "eat" word
In Singapore, we don't say cheers, we say:
YAMMMMMMMMMSENGGGGGGGGGG!!!
I'm from the Southeast part of the US and we use reckon all the time.
cheers and bottoms up in singlish is
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM SENG!*
Wait long long - I said it in hokkien as it’s my dialect - tan ku ku- in Chinese it’s also 等久久。
Or when there’s a good deal and we said don’t waste time - mai tu liao in hokkien .
.
Wait long long is singlish. Mai tu liao is pure hokkien, not singlish.
Indonesian also use the vomit blood phrase. Muntah darah (literally translation from vomit blood)
Reckon is very much used in the USA. But it depends on what part you’re in how often you will hear Americans say it. I wouldn’t say reckon isn’t American English. I do think it odd to have NEVER heard it though.
We call bbq’s “cookouts” lol.
I’m American btw😉
ngl singlish in such proper english just doesn't have the same vibe 😅
Cop means stamp in Malay. So in Singapore people usually say cop to stamp on the paperwork.
The 'Chop' that was being referred was the Karate Chop, that arm/hand motion. I could still be wrong
My guess is that chop comes from Malay word ‘cap’ (pronounce as chap) that is to stamp something and it kind of evolve I guess.. (might be loan word from dialect too, I am unsure). But what is interesting, wait long long can be a direct translation of both Chinese and Malay language.. What a fun video.. :)
also, it's like an onomatopoeia...the sound of the the stamp
The Indonesian language also has "cap" (pronounced more like a chup than a chop) to describe stamp (not postage stamp, that would be "perangko"). I'm not sure where the word "cap" came from. I read somewhere that it may be from the Hindi word "chap", I don't know. But I'm pretty sure it's not from chop. Hehe.
There definitely needs to be southern representation from the us in these videos lol
You reckon?
@@pondboy3682 😂
Chop is only used in Malaysia n Singapore. Hehe
As I Brit I have heard and used many of us and aus words
Reckon used to be more commonly used in the US during the 19th Century especially, and predominantly in Southern/Western/rural culture. Listen to the speech patterns heard in many American Western/Cowboy movies. It fell out of favor in the 20th Century though, probably due to the move away from agrarian life towards urban life.
There are still plenty of Americans who use reckon.
More these videos please and add someone who knows Russian!
Chop here please!😂
I want an Australian accent!!
When I write my composition like in a letter form if it is to a friend or someone I know I would end with thanks or cheers but if it is person I don’t know I end with sincerely then my full name
(I am a singaporean🇸🇬🇸🇬 and still in primary school😢)
In singlish we use Chop to replace the word Chope as well. Chop the seat! 😂
In the US, reckon is an old fashioned word, often associated with rural people and hillbillies. It is still used, but not everywhere. Means the same thing.
All but the Barbie one, we say the rest like Australians in England
The singlish one for “yaya papaya” I guess could go with the word I know “atas” - a person who only buys expensive things
No lah. Singlish for atas is sibeh atas. Yaya papaya is more of an attitude - arrogant.
what about chopping seats?
while in malaysia we often using " la" at every last word we use.
Lah is not used at every last word lah. Have you heard of Europeans trying to put lah in every sentence. Sounds horrifying and so so wrong.
Chop something to leave a mark. So when you say chop, you’re stamping or leaving a mark.
In my fictional world, Malaysia surpasses Singapore in every area because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
I've always wondered about the "cheers" thing. I work on the phones internationally, just been to afraid to ask. But I guess my next question would be: what's the return response? Just say "cheers" back?
yes.. cheers mate ^ ^
I miss Zeno in this vdo😅
reckon is very southern american but mostly used by old people.
chop here please - can it be used like i already reserve this table - especially in hawker center
That's what I was thinking too
No, that is chope and not chop.
English used her version of chop long ago. If you needed to stamp something the person would tell you to put your chop here. I would guess that evolved into just sign here.
Chop a seat = reserve a seat :)
