What's shocking is that i've came across this person who speaks Chinese with the very strong mainland accent but english in a totally singaporean accent.
as someone who migrated to Singapore when I was one year old, I spent most of my schooling years here and every thing they said here is not just relatable but true for me as well.
funny thing though, my teachers always used me as the example to "encourage" my classmates who were failing Chinese classes back then. granted that didn't make me too popular lol but gosh, this episode of can ask meh brings back so many memories from school
If I heard them on the street, off the bat I'll straight get SG vibes.. I wont be surprised if they were to speak Mandarin or dialect as well. Its culture
they all speak like any other sporeans these days, i came here when i was young too, from hk. and I did struggled with chinese, till the teacher could not believe that i scored a b3 for my O's, but thank you spore. Other than English and cantonese, i can also converse in chinese if there's a need. and YES the taxi uncle story is so funny, it happens to my korean friend who speaks chinese and grew up in sg and she speaks like a native sporean too.
Yes , good to know many languages for better communication. I am Okinawan and living in Singapore. After learn English and Chinese ; Now start to learn my own Okinawan a bit .
‘Kao pay, kao bu’ is scolding or telling a person not to make so much noise. Between friends is OK. But shouting to a stranger (when angry) he might punch you on the face. The term means ‘cry (your) father & cry mother’ (As if they died!)
lol right? But I guess it's because people see Chinese as a more "useful" language to learn. Even though Singapore is in the Malay archipelago and surrounded by neighbouring countries that speak Malay
Why so salty? And why must they? It’s their choice their parents’ choice and doesn’t concern the people who agree with this. That’s condescending to imply that they are better off learning another language or implying that they shun or see no importance in another. Perhaps the schools they attended had a larger Chinese population, or many other factors. I think it’s bigotry to think this way.
@@noahakihaya umm ok chill I'm just saying. I never said anything about looking down on people just because they choose to learn Mandarin over Malay??? I didn't even mean to sound condescending or sarcastic :/ I was merely stating my views based on my own observations. I'm just saying that I'm surprised not many people choose to learn Malay because it's relatively easy to learn and quite useful in this region if they ever visit our neighbouring countries. Perhaps my choice of wording wasn't really the best, but I really wasn't trying to come across as condescending at all. People can learn whatever languages they want of course it's up to them. This is just my own personal opinion.
CHINA NOT FAR-AWAY FROM KOREA JUST NEIGHBORING, EVEN KOREA WRITINGS HAVE SOME CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS ENGLAND AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE , ARE FAR FAR AWAY, SOUNDING AWKWARD.
Why do the subtitles say Mandarin every time they say Chinese? Also, you keep on putting words in their mouths and making assumptions about the things that they are leaving out.
Because when you say you speak Chinese, it can be Hokkien, Cantonese and many more thousand of dialects that a Chinese would use. Mandarin is the correct term. Chinese is an ethic group/race, not a language.
Because Mandarin mainly refers to the language is spoken and Chinese is generally used to refer to the race... Can't you just take a second to google And also if you don't know how subtitles work, then gtfo
Chinese is a RACE, Mandarin is a language..... Hokkien, cantonese etc. are dialects. No one speaks chinese, at least here in Singapore, we speak Mandarin. Please get it right.
@Mohan Sandal I believe some Indians would also get offended if you don't specify their language as Tamil, hindi, telegu etc since Indian is not a language? So shouldn't we respect what the Chinese themselves deem as correct?
they all have the singlish accent its cute
Ya, cute for awhile...
Singaporean accent is so funny xd
I burst out laughing when the korean mentioned how proud his parents were when he spoke mandarin LOL
Bro just spoke three languages in three sentences. Amazing.
Me too. And it's almost like the whole scene was playing in my head too
Well... He can order char kway teow.
KOREA ARE CHINA NEIGHBORING COUNTRY, ENGLAND AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE
IS SO FAR-AWAY. SOUND AWKWARD.
lll
Hearing Wendy and Alvin speak with Singaporean accent puts a smile on my face

What's shocking is that i've came across this person who speaks Chinese with the very strong mainland accent but english in a totally singaporean accent.
It means he/she has been schooling in Singapore from a very young age just like the younger ones in the video.
Lmao my classmate’s like that
as someone who migrated to Singapore when I was one year old, I spent most of my schooling years here and every thing they said here is not just relatable but true for me as well.

Bcoz Mandarin is the third most common used language in the world
Because chinese people are the majority and my mother said she didnt want them to talk behind my back😭
I relate so hard LOL I speak 3 languages and 2 dialects

Literally rolled my eyes when it comes to introducing Burmese singaporean . 🙄. Very mismatched leh. It is like chicken rice add mee rebus gravy.
1:56 in sync
HAHAHAHAHAAH the korean is like my student when i teach them Chinese, they would come up with all kinds of reasons to not learn chinese
I used to be this when I was a kid
IN FACTS SINGAPOREAN AND CHINESE ARE VERY OPEN MINDED TO ANYTHING
INTERESTING , JUST BEING A HUMAN .👍👍👍❤️🇸🇬
"우리 아들 중국어 잘안내" omg so cute
It's actually "잘아네" not "잘안내" 잘안내 means well guiding....
how about learning the national language?
many cant even speak mother tongue, how to speak national language
surprised why they didnt choose malay, which is actl a really easy language to learn
lol right? But I guess it's because people see Chinese as a more "useful" language to learn. Even though Singapore is in the Malay archipelago and surrounded by neighbouring countries that speak Malay

@@noahakihaya Of course it's their parents' choice. Why so negative and defensive to a simple question and explanation?
Are they siblings?
wait alvin is the guy from tiktok
*speak Mandarin.
*us vs ours?*
2:16 *cHaO kOaH tIAoW*
char kway teow is pronounced as chao guo tiao in Mandarin
That Burmese guy can't seem to stop shaking his legs
Wtf they all sound and look damn singaporean lol. ofc besides the africans (by the way good job)
Chinese and Mandarin.. are they the same?
Short answer, yes.
Mandarin is Chinese languages but Chinese languages not contain only Mandarin
No. Mandarin is under the Chinese Language umbrella.... Chinese Language also comprises of dialects.
I always think Chinese is a race, Mandarin is a language
CHINA NOT FAR-AWAY FROM KOREA JUST NEIGHBORING,
EVEN KOREA WRITINGS HAVE SOME CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS
ENGLAND AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE , ARE FAR FAR AWAY, SOUNDING AWKWARD.
😂😂😂😂
and do REMEMBER every election they will VOTE for JUNTA PAP
