Learning singlish is HARD!🙈 How do you think I did?😜 Remember to THUMBS UP the video and SUBSCRIBE to see more!😊
excellent try! this was hilarious and awesome! this guy has the authentic stuff
You did great!
Singlish is meant to be learnt naturally not forcefully 😂
Georgia, just learn a few words is good enough, you don't need to force yourself to learn everything.
I think only a fair bit of us bother to pronouns clearly when we speak. So the words, find/fine and three/tree would sound similar. On the word "tyco", it kinda means sheer luck. I have been watching your videos occasionally and I remember it goes way back before you came to Singapore. Glad you have the opportunity to live aboard and learn the country's culture. Don't be too bothered about the negative comments. :)
Direct translation from Hokkien:
1. Bojio - 没招， 没邀- did not invite
2. Toh - 倒 - knock oneself out, flop/fail
3. Cheem - 深 - difficult, hard
4. Paiseh - 不好意思 - shy, embarrased
Singlish translation from Mandarin:
1. Walk walk see see - 走走看看 - looking around with no purpose
Singlish translation from Malay:
1. Kena - was given, got
Sun Ny Excellent!! ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
If its the right translation haha then more easy to understand😂
Can imagine Georgia one day becoming the first Caucasian Ah Lian in Singapore if she continues learning Singlish from this guy 🤣
LittleHampie89 totally agree sia
Lol😂😂
LittleHampie89 au au salakau
IKRRR
i love how even as a someone from overseas you are willing to learn the culture with full interest, it really warms my heart to see you so accepting of our culture ish ahaha. i really do hope you make more singaporean related videos! ps i really enjoy your hauls as well hehe
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES HE SAID...WHATS THE DIFF?😂😂😂😂
This is hilarious! 😂 You did a great job pronouncing those Singlish words and I applaud your willingness to learn more about it!
Jacey Niyo, *English
This is a real Singlish Coach !
goddanner, *English
Hardly. He didn’t give very good explanations and he wasn’t very fluent in English so some meanings were lost on the British friend.
I'm crying rn even the hand gestures are Singaporean 😂😂😂
This is absolutely hilarious, when I was in singapore last year I rarely talk with locals because its really hard to grasp what they were saying... I find all you singlish videos so educational.. keep it up!
Singlish is pidgin English of Singapore. There is no one way of speaking it. The Malays, the Chinese and Indians, each have their hybrid, and those who were schooled in English also have their own standard of Singlish.
Depending on who your peers are, borrowed words are inserted in accordingly, Malay, Chinese, or Indian words, to emphasise, to better express sentiment, or when the correct English word is not known. Mostly it flow smoothly in an informal setting, out of laziness to speak proper English.
More Singaporeans now, can write good English, and can hesitatingly, speak good English too, if they choose to, but relaxed, they rather sing along in Singlish.
I love English pigeons
This guy is funny and able to hold on his own. haha
Actually the word 'fine' in Malay is spelled as 'Saman' not 'Summon'
But it's from the word summons also
haiya the guy also half right half wrong, his england not powderful enough to explain and convey the true meaning and context to her properly haha
like for example the word saman, is actually derived from the english word summon which means a date which the person 'saman'ed must appear in court
This was so fun! He’s HILARIOUS
To speak Singlish like a local there are a few things you need to know: do not try to mouth the final consonant in any word; do not try to pronounce words as perfectly as you can; do not worry about speaking formally; do not worry about being precise in your pronunciation; be very casual and informal and relaxed; be as simple as possible when forming sentences and pronouncing words; do not worry about feeling embarrassed when speaking; English vowels a, e, i, o, u are pronounced differently in Singlish; 'th' is pronounced as either a 't' or a 'd'. Lots more if anyone else can contribute.
Also Singlish is very context and tone-based, a lot of the meanings can change depending on the circumstances and how you sound when saying the word, especially that famous "can meh, can lor, can la, can leh, can hor" that can mean different things just depending on the particle attached to "can" and when you say it.
The way a lot of Singaporeans teach Singlish by adding a suffix(eg leh, lor, lah) to every sentence is a bit exagerrated in my opinion. It is not just that. The tone, pronunciation and sentence construction. First, the tone. The way Singaporeans pronounce names itself is Singlish. For example, when Singaporeans pronounce the second syllable of any Christian name, it is usually a high, flat tone instead of a downward tone. Second, the pronunciation. Th is usually pronounced as t. Three becomes tree and through becomes true. Thanks is not pronounced as tanks or danks, we pronounce it as dtanks(between d and t). Third, the sentence. At 5:12, he said "I jio you, you also won't come". One more example I can think of is "I tell you, you also won't listen". There is no suffix or local slang in this sentence, but it is Singlish from the way this sentence is formed. I can go on with more examples but it could take forever.
you’re so accustomed to singapore already! please don’t leave!
More videos like this pls . It's so cute and fun to watch
"TOH" is "to fall down" in the Hokkien dialect. So when used in your context, it means "to faint". Similarly, "PANG SEH" is Hokkien for "released alive". It is a Buddhist term for setting animals free. In your context, it means "don't let go of me". And of course "cheem" means "deep".
transitioning to an ah lian one step at a time! XD
beside "walk walk see see", you can also use "look see look see" or "look look see see"
You see see what see? Pai kia ah?
Still watching this after 2 years. Very very unique content.
I adore Singlish! Phua Chu Kang got me addicted to learning it. Then I'd hang out in Bedok Fair Price to hear aunties talk. Thank you, Gregory!
kena + = passive voice
Do somemore leh, explain 'Can', 'Lah', 'Leh' and all other suffixes in Singlish with explanations to go along. This of which i have much trouble explaining to my foreign friends what do they actually mean. Eg, can lah vs can leh... or a can in a tone going up/down.
Spot on guys lol @GregoryShampoo
Chuckle! You guys are hilarious!
Saman is also a Malay word.
Live alittle ,because malay words always copy from English. There are lots of words Malay copy from English. Summon= Saman ,Police=Polis , 😃😃😃
LEE XUANDE ALFRED isn't summon pronounced summon not saman?
Eugene Soong singlish
omg normally ppl teaching foreigners singlish is so cringe but this guy is good and funny HAHAHAHAHAH
OMG I'm so torn right now. I love Singlish but I'm cringing at the fact that you couldn't tell certain words apart. I guess we're just too lazy to enunciate haha
That's a feature of the accent! Very interesting that it happened a few times in the video: Walk/Wok, Fine/Find ...
Haha I know that, a Singaporean here
Three/Tree, Went/When, Thing/Think, Thank/Tank, Late/Laid, Road/Rode, Duck/Dark, Ring/Rink, Tent/Ten, etc. Because we don't pronounce 'th' properly and also ignore the last consonant that's why a lot of our words sound similar to foreigners.
LittleHampie89 You are right. Even though I know all the Singlish words but I cringed when he pronounced in Englishb
or it could be we're just lazy af. I'm singaporean and i know how to pronounce correctly. It's just that i'm lazy and you'll get judge cuz apparently, not speaking with singaporean accent or pronounciation makes you seem arrogant.
This is freaking hilarious 😂
the correct meaning of tyco is Leprosy.. tyco is in hokkien..
tyco is commonly associated with ugly..
One example is if someone is ugly, we can use example "Waaa(Wow), he face is very tyco"
Another example when someone fluke a goal in a football match.. We will say "Waa that goal tyco sia"
Meaning he scored it ugly or mordern days, we can also use it to say he scored the goal by luck..
Totally enjoy watching this video! :D
SIMI SAI in a direct translation to some of us, it means " What the shit ?" " HUH" " WHAT?" " What are you talking about ". as different expression.
Actually we can speak proper english n our english is good n we speak english all the time when we meet up with friends of different races, sometimes even at home so we accidentally mould our version of english(singlish) unlike non-english speaking countries,once they learn english they'll speak carefully with english speaking people/foreigners but will speak their own language with their fellow countrymen
omg i LOL when you said I TOH SIA" HAHAHAHAHAHA
Hi .
Correct pronunciation is ,
Doh (toh)
Taigo (tyco)
Bang seh (pang seh)
Thank you
Singlish is speaking English in a short and simple way. When speaking Singlish,there is no past/present tense. You can just use either past/simple tense anyhow. You dont have to speak whole sentence,you just need to speak the key words. So speaking Singlish is much easier, faster and time saving.👍👍👍😊😊😊
HAHAHAHAHHAHAH OMFG I CANT WITH THIS-
Tyco is originated from Hokkien pronounce as thaiko. It means the skin rotten from wound. Definition (rotten luck).
5:46 HAHAHA THAT PANG SEH WAS SO CUTE
LOL, need more of singlish lesson
so many other words not included, like lim pei, lor, hor, lim bu, fly kite, etc
this has to been your cutest video yet.
For the really angry way to use *bojio* n *pung-seh* n *simi-sai* is to add a kanina(knn) in front... 😎😎
Lmao I love seeing people trying Singapore culture! I feel proud being Singaporean lol :) bai
"
No kick" is when your food has not enough cili padi or sambal haha
You can also use "pang peh kee" or "why you fly aeroplane?" instead of "pang seh".
AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now make him guess slangs that only British understands
I have a hard time understanding half the thing my brother says lmao he thinks he's some roadman
To expand on a few things, toh means to fall or collapse in hokkien. That's why you can use it in different scenarios like being dead drunk till you black out, wanting to collapse in shock or things like that.
Saman is kind of Malay, but it was actually derived from receiving summons.
Simisai literally means 'what shit', so it's a slightly vulgar and exaggerated way of exclaiming, kinda like 'what is this bullshit'.
No kick actually is kind of derived from what you were talking about. It basically refers to something that doesn't have an impact. So it can used to describe something that's easy, but it's also fine to say 'that spicy dish got no kick' to illustrate the opposite of your example.
throughly enjoyed this. HAVE MORE EPISODES PLEASE
Tyco also refers to fluke?
Awesome 🥰
omg this was really funny!!!!
bo = not, jio = invite or take along. it's from hokkien
i dont know whether she's learning singlish or he's learning english.. LOL
The word “tyco” is not commonly used among Singaporeans, especially the older generation.
It means ugly in Teochew
Hahaha, that was so hard for me, too. I guess you have to live there to get it.
how is he so cute GAHH
this is hilarious ! can't stop giggling watching this vid
I am in Singapore and speak Singlish
For more Singlish, get the *Coxford Singlish Dictionary* at Amazon - www.amazon.com/Coxford-Singlish-Dictionary-Colin-Goh/dp/9814193682/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1521985548&sr=1-2&keywords=singlish
good video this and the one on gregoryshampoo channel. there is good chemistry between you two.
*Singaporeans be like:*
*OuH sHiT*
*CaO cHi BaI*
Useful! Thank you!
kena is not really past tense? you can say something along the lines of "wah don't anyhow say leh, later i kena from him sia" so basically it's "get".
This is so entertaining 😂
You may need to learn Singlish from a Malay Singaporean and Indian Singaporean. We have different kinds of accents and words which somehow, all Singaporeans will understand..
Yah mon, that's the amazing part about Singlish. Everyone here generally understands all the different variations of Singlish.
I see ‘look look see see’ not ‘walk walk see see’ ;-;
Look see look see walk see walk see look walk see see
hypothesised walk walk see see is not in my dictionary
hypothesised 走走看看 in my 🚌⏳
say walk walk see see in hokkien then it make sense
I introduce two words to u , the noun of cheem is cheemalogy, the noun of can is candibility
Pang Seh... "Don't put aeroplane". also can lol
actually cheem doesn't really mean difficult per se, i would say it's a word unto itself. it kind of means difficult but more of like when something is "deep" or convoluted more than just difficult (if that makes any sense). so like you wouldn't really say like "math is so cheem", it's more of like if someone said something really profound or something like that and then you'd say "so cheem".
Burst out laughing watching this
I’m still lost!!
Best one! haha!
I liked this video so much 😂
Kena something- got something bad. Kena has a negative connotation. We don't use kena for good things (:
Eg 'I kena flowers.' --> X (unless getting flowers brings about some bad outcomes)
I burst out laughing...
The only ones that she doesnt really know are the malay and the hokkien ones lol, those are harder
😂 that was hilarious!!
i thought cheem is chim? HAHAH idk i always spelled it chimm/chim
tyco means fluke
Toh is Hokkien for "Faint" Hence toh when you drink too much you faint, and you see 5/100 marks in a test, you toh.
You speak Singlish can la. Video very good.
I am really worried when Geo go back to England and the British would have problem understanding her with all those Singlish 😂
this is too cute and funny HAHAH
The guy is probably like get me out of here....anyways luv u Georgia
I've never used walk walk see see. Lol
very funny to see a brit speaking singlish. pruss wan for chiu lah !
Singaporean pronunciation is a bit off sometimes even though they are educated in English.
For example, the word "Cold" clearly has the letter -d behind however most Singaporean doesn't pronounce the -d (Singaporean consider the -d as silent letter). Hence, Singaporean "Cold" actually sounds like "Coal" when they pronounce it.
As clearly seen in this video the Singaporean consider "find" and "fine" sounds the same, in which he is actually wrong.
Other example:
Gold is pronounced as "Goal"
Bold is pronounced as "Bowl"
Told is pronounced as "Toll"
Franky Law and that what makes us unique. And as long we can understand each other, who really cares what foreigners think about us?
Fian Fazlie
The problem is when Singaporeans go abroad to work or study, the rest of the English-speaking world can barely understand what Singaporeans are saying. And that's when you realize that your English "cannot make it" when you can't code-switch.
singlah too bad lor!!!!!!!! Not all Singaporeans are like that. And you’re generalizing all of us? Geez
Franky Law and thats the reason why i get horrible marks for oral the simi ending consonant i always cmi
The funny thing is that simi sai means what shit when translated literally. Sounds a bit crude if you know the literal meaning but people just use it haha.
Georgia looks very much like a Russia girl with that black cap on, LOL.
please have a part two but with a malay teaching you
actually u dont need the "sai" in simi sai becoz sai = shit which kinda bring down ur Class(what i love about u)
u can say "what talking you" instead e.g what talking u....$500 so expensive~
however the 1 sai u can use is "bue sai" basically means CMI cannot make it/no standard.
You know... it could be worse...
He could have taught her smlj instead....
Hi in was wondering if you will ever visit india
saman actually english word summon....
I don't know 2 words. TOH AND SENG PEH LOL
All this while I think the closest meaning to Cheem is Profound.
Do u noe what "pai sei" means?
Just so you know, the direct translation of "Simi sai" is What shit aka. what kind of bullshit is that! :D
I’ve never used/heard anyone use toh/tyco before though HAHAH
Fel I've heard guys use it to describe girls as ugly too.
Whenever I score high marks in a test people would tell me "Tyco lah sial"
well, i'm guessing someone hasn't gone clubbing before HAHA
Malay people use the word tyco meaning boss, if iam not mistaken
Same
Look See Look See Lah!
