We’ve All Been Using the WRONG Chinese in S’pore

If you think that you can speak Chinese well, you’re wrong. But at least we love you for that (watch to the end and you’d understand).

Yet people say we don't have our own culture. Language is the most important part of any culture, if fellow singaporeans can understand, then it's correct in our culture.

[@blacksheepshepherd]

Why are we wrong, should be them who's wrong.

[@SiroccoSeven]

In China they also say 打包📦

[@rangerpig8324]

Btw 带走 is also wrong, its supposed to be 外带. Also PHD, permanent head damage ah?

[@emo_GLChau]

This channel is authentically sibeh Singaporean sia.

[@xyberboi1987]

Some parts of china people also use 打包, it literally means 打一个包 for taking away, its not wrong... Dun anyhow teach leh😅😅 Different regions speak differently in Mandarin, just like British and American English terms are all spoken differently, for example car boot and car trunk etc...

[@kentneo900]

There is no right or wrong with the mandarin that we speak , these are the words that we local use , same as Malaysia , China , Taiwan have their own way of words for certain things

[@stewardsung1853]

Uniquely Singapore chinese....cannot find in another part of the world. So proud

[@DudeCCK]

Nothing wrong. This video is wrong.

[@accountdeleted1898]

打包 isnt wrong and do have the meaning of take away, but there is stuff that is wrong like the usage of 还钱 in completely wrong scenario. 还钱 is returning money, and you only do that when you took a loan or borrowed money from someone. when you just pay it is 付钱, never 还钱。 another instance is 烧的还是冷的，烧的really doesnt have the meaning of hot at all, it should be 热的. ps: the way sporean pronouce 烧 sounds like 骚 and in the context used where hawkers say 小妹, makes it very wrong and weird if you know what i mean

[@lazarusguan2388]

I don't feel smarter. But I'm entertained.

[@kianbenglim657]

What about 打酱油？ it is to go buy soya sauce and not to hit the soya sauce. So 打 does not only mean to hit.

[@bakkwa8705]

Aiyah , Blue Cat 😹 Why you expose us like that ??!!

[@johnsan6645]

If you speak proper mandarin, other people might mistakenly think you’re from some special characteristic country leh, then how ah? Eat strength liao lah, especially go overseas ……… cannot lah….😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alvinmah6148]

There are different versions of english too, eg British, American and Australian. Not only it sounds different, they way they use to describe certain things can also be very different. There’s nothing wrong with a singlish mandarin. Just another version that has been evolved.

[@cheez91]

This is our localised language evolved from various culture and dialects. It is not wrong. That is how language are formed and evolved. Just like Hong Kong's cantonese have many localised and unique terms different from so-called "correct" terms in Guangzhou. So do not say it is wrong for that is the reason why the world dislikes you. Do not impose your language and culture on other country.

[@tkyap2524]

Don't speak well but still can be understood, that's important.

[@Cococokieful]

Typical accent of boomer like Mr brown.

[@blacksheepshepherd]

In China, if you say 打包 in KTV.. LOL

[@macropusrufus8207]

Can the speakers understand each other? Yes? Then it's not wrong

[@computerzero2681]

Language is subjectively objective

[@tangt4860]

They are correct Singapore Chinese because many are Cantonese in origin but because LKY was forcing the entire country to follow his demand that they speak only Mandarin it was converted to sound Mandarin.. No problem using dabao even in HK. Stop using PRC Mandarin - people all over the world will hate you.

[@Slla-th5vt]

Not Cantonese. Hokkien lah.

[@YoutiaoVlogs]

Taiwan and China also different. Taiwan 酒店is club or pub. Singapore and China is hotel Taiwan call hotel 饭店

[@xz-se6br]

Clubs n pubs can also be called 夜店 in Taiwan

[@YoutiaoVlogs]

@@xz-se6br Ahh yes. That too

[@icemaneu]

My mother tongue is Cantonese.

[@spinningchipsandchimps]

Yes, I don't understand my language as well

[@ditsygirl5409]

No leh… these days if your English is good and mandarin is poor, means you’re not elite enough! 😂 we know who’s an elite when they can speak well in both languages. 我们新加坡人如果只是会用英语沟通，就说明不是精英，精英都是双语优越的。😅

[@cac1504]

Singaporeans now lost touch of dialects. Blue cat failed to acknowledge this?

[@yp8839]

Dialects are our mother tongue. Mandarin is a common language.

[@yong9613]

Mandarin is Beijing approved and Sg implemented

[@kelbinn]

I don’t understand why we don’t advocate for Singapore version of Chinese and English but instead thinks that china Chinese and US English are correct.

[@zubinnt]

Sinkapoo like British England must Tok like bbc

[@Slla-th5vt]

Not US English lah. Singapore officially is British English. Blame the British for not enough TV shows.

SOft spoken, speak well, articulated - but listen carefully the contents all not logical a ton of rubbish. That is what we see at youtube all those influencers and inspirational speakers and salesmen.

[@fayea78]

If it's because of appearing high SES, then it's really misguided in this day & age cos being bilingual has become important as well as very functional & useful.

[@Dckw]

No one cares. As long as can understand can already.

[@ahxishwe5664]

your limited knowledge in culture😂

[@LonganLee]

SG Rojak. Bo Bian one 🏳️🏳️🏳️👀 One way is to Glorify Singrish. 🤭🫣 Singlish is nothing but broken English. But to sugar coat the situation, we can glorify it🤣 Eg. IrRegardless is Singrish. But many still using it as they have never been corrected. There is no such word in English.

[@Slla-th5vt]

Regardless is not Singlish. It is used beyond Singapore.

[@LonganLee]

@@Slla-th5vt note that I wrote "IRregardless". Are you not from SG?

[@Slla-th5vt]

@@LonganLee u edited that AFTER I pointed it out didn't you?
