Sam Liew yup..."chope" is a right word...throw a tissue.pack on.tat table and it is considered as "booked" or taken
it depends on how formal u speak and how much u want to express. if u try to speak like an essay with all complete and grammatically correct sentences and rigorous logical reasoning and full detailed explanations, of course it sounds more complicated. but in real life everyone speaks in a more concise and informal way and we dont always need to explain why we make a certain choice. while u can say "can lah" in singlish when ordering a meal, we can simply say "yup" in english instead of doing a ton of nonsense compliment for the food to show we want to eat it.

Anmin Kang I agree. This vid is just exaggerating how English is supposed to be spoken
Singlish is very unique with combination of Old British and America English blended with Hokkien, Cantonese and Malay accent. Singlish is consider a languages widely used by Singaporean, PR and foreign workers. Singlish should be officially register as new language unique in Asia.
the voiceover at the start sounded really weird :S
it's true haha. I like Singlish but as a foreigner I find it's a bit difficult for foreigners because they mix up the english with malay and many dialects of chinese. let's say in a sentence they can use hokkien with english but in another words they will mix it with teocheow or mandarin or cantonese or even malay. the participle they use to end a sentence even uncanny for some people. maybe some neigbouring tourists from malay and indo can understand about the term of -lah and whatever but they even cannot fully understand the whole singlish.

It's ok to find Singlish confusing at first. Honestly speaking, it's not really something that can be learnt in a class or textbook. Only real life interaction and time can truly 'teach' someone Singlish.
Saw a cartoon recently. You can use 4 languages locally in one sentence in Singapore. Caption : Annek, kopi o dua, kosong , tar pow, please. (Indian, malay, chinese, english) Means: brother, 2 coffee without sugar, take away, please.

i could totally relate to the dude who uses proper english all the time since i usually use the proper term as i was unsure of the singlish terms although my peers use them in school;-;😅😂
Two years later I'm watching this😂 The first TSL video I watched!!

Singlish is straight forward. English is beating around the bush. Now I believe Singlish is epicient leh......😁
we should combine manglish and singlish since both are quiet the same. masinglish? Hahaha 😂
2:36 got power I like! ;)
very funny leh hahaha
brazillian portuguese you can make a short and fully detailed sentence with few phonemes
Lol that is my local McDonald's
Singlish is the shortcut to everything. So long as we can get our points across done.
Even if i speak English, people can still understand what I'm saying.
The one thing that made me laugh. CHOPE!
Mcdonalds: Yes/no? Ordering: Sure, fine, OK. Eating: Wow! Traveling: JFK-ORD-LAX (USA coast to coast with connecting flight in Chicago). Reservation: Dibs. How do you say misrepresentation in Singlish?
He had doraemon pocket for tissue? 😹

Think of 'liao' as already. E.g. "Eh you full already?" "I full liao" - Same as "I full already". "Watch this movie already?" "Watch liao" - "Watch already". You get the drift.

liao is from chinese word.means (something) is already done. example : eat liao/do homework liao/sleep liao double empahsis example : eat finish liao/shop finish liao/finish nagging liao or not

小哥都好帅
Tissue is not a language, but since you said chope I'm fine with that
Singlish is always cooler and more friendly sounding.
My Singlish is base English then Chinese dialects, Bahasa Melayu, Tamil 😀
i am have singaporean and thailand
Ang mohs ah really don't know how to use singling an 🤣
no one ever says singlish is the most efficient language in the world. in fact it's probably the most inefficient because no one can understand you, except for yourselves of course
Gonna nitpick: CTE, PIE and ECP are initialisms, not acronyms :P other than that, interesting but no one really says half these things.
So many Tissue Hahaahah
knn, ccb, nccb and nb. ur welcome. :)
singlish save time .!
ahahhaha a bit too exaggerated but yeah, that the essence of singlish
Uu the new guy is cute
this is not Singapore English, it's Malay English
The prosody is like the Indonesian one.
I don’t think Singlish itself is bad, but being unable to speak Standard English because of Singlish is what’s bad.
To those who think Singlish is bad...."BALIK KAMPUNG!"
