@@Tropicmonsters can do that one but it's older gen singlish... May not be heard today. New gen singlish like "maintain a bit" and "step" are probably some of the good ones

[@bodieh1261]

After watching all these comparison videos I have come to the conclusion that Singlish is just a more efficient form of English, say so much more with so much less. The Americans thought they simplified the queens English, we took that to a whole new level. Zun bo?

[@meh825]

Waaah so accurate

[@justmonika746]

Zun ah! Haha

[@pushabug_923]

It's because of the diverse language in sg so we mix everything

[@kittenmimi5326]

It's also taking the simpler sentence structure of malay, or mandarin idk and directly translating it into english or leave it as malay/mandarin words to mix with english

[@MultiSciGeek]

Agreed XD

[@yuxinluo4153]

OMG This is new to me! I am a mandarin and Cantonese native speaker and English is my second language. It's interesting to see how Singapore people kinda mix Chinese grammar and some tones with English together. And I am not sure if I am right, I can also catch a little India accent mix with it. Just a little bit. The more I learn about Singapore the more I want to visit there!

[@WitchyUmeko]

You are quite right, just add in some hokkien and Malay into the mix too~ 😁
