Not only that, if you see it written down you'll probably laugh because lots of sentences don't make any sense

Kinda like chinglish

Oh, okay then, I didn't understand

No problem

I've got something 'on-topic'. Some dude said that people spoke Singlish in Just Cause 2, and I was like NO WAY, and the guy was like 'yes way' and posted a video. The video was stupid though, it was just some woman with a sg accent, not actually speaking singlish. He said there was more, but I think he's lying/doesn't know what he's talking about.

Can anyone verify there is/isn't actual singlish in that game?

yup, it was just an accent, coincidentally though she did live in Singapore

Well, according to a newspaper report that i read about her, she had a singaporean mother and an american father, so i guess in a way, there's actually singlish, just that it was a total coincidence . She was attempting to have a exotic accent and somehow she ended up with that

 

[elixirdream]

in my opinion
singlish/manglish tend to cut of a few words from the actual sentence and using unknown slangs/word

for example
don't play play = don't mess with me
careful, i whack you ar! = becareful or i will whack you
eat already ar = had your meal?
i no good = i am not in a good shape/mood
i happy you happy = i don't give a damn whether you like it or not

War come, Foreigner say "goodbye, I go home". Your son go war die

your son go war die

 

[mrfatso]

like the saying" I catch no balls"

 

[syko5150]

i never liked talking in slang or variations of english...when i was growing up my family/people in the area i lived in always spoke spanglish and it got really annoying either speak 1 language or the other don't mix them...lol

 

[mrfatso]

Haha, over here, the government discourage Singlish but we still talk to each other that way, it give us a sense of belonging in a sense, we have our own band of weird-ass english, of cos to many others, they see us as taking a butcher knife and butchering english over and over again.

Singapore

 

[elixirdream]

hahahaha
i catch no balls?

 

[mrfatso]

apparently that's singlish, i saw it at a website that's sort of a database of singlish words, and i cant post the website because it might offend the little people.

I guess that's one advantage to being a singaporean, i will be able to understand other country's slang if our own slang is as bad as you have mentioned

 

[elixirdream]

its really very bad until i tend to switch to another channel

not really singlish.. is just some language used in malaysia / singapore

 

[mrfatso]

broken chinese and english?

I know our tv standard is damn low lor. Last time i watch a drama, i could caught a bunch of out of place words that doesnt seem to fill into the script and felt more like the actor/actress (if they can even be called that) have no idea how to read that part of the script and just try and improvise..

No idea, if much has changed or has my biases against my channel lessen over the years..

Anyway, i no longer watch any tv show, so yay

Well, my dad is watching k drama and all i can say is that, god are those series draggy..

 

[outgum]

i dont really watch tv either, ever since internet became so versatile, theres no point, Amirite?

 

[mrfatso]

ya, i mean if the tv station is showing, for example, My Name is Earl, and they were left with a cliff hanger, so what's next? Pre-internet, we would have wait for that next week to arrive, now, we can just google it up and ta da, the next episode.

Or those tv show that we seen someone mentioned, we can just watch them online, heck, the internet is a huge television in a sense

It's even more of a TV when you use your TV screen as your computer monitor

 

[mrfatso]

I wish i can do that though, but well, since i am using my laptop and even then i am not sure how to config a CTV screen to a computer monitor P

Anyway, i like your sig and i wonder how does that even work ?

thats what i do my PC is hooked up to a 42" Sharp Aquos =D...it comes in handy because theres a lot of movies i dont want to download/burn(like movies i might watch once and be done with forever) so i just stream them and watch on the computer.
