Singlish

[Teruterubotzu]

Ada yang punya cerita ttg orang2 Singapure/ org2 lainnya dengan gaya ngomong Singlishnya gak?

Gue punya nih... "Do you want to buy Wi Si Ti a?" Terjemahan sangat-kasarnya : "Do you want to buy VCD?" ;D;D;D

*gebrak kibor*

[SumYungGai]

gampang tinggal tambahin "lah" di akhir sentence jadilah singlish. how are you lah? i'm fine lah. :D

[kapzil]

kapz seneng banget paka kata "lah".. :D

[Kawaii Lemon]

wat talking u? ;(

[Capunk]

dono loh!:D:D:D

[Jean-Luc]

iya,... gue geli banget kalo disono ::ngg:: ::ngg:: rasanya pengen gue suruh sekolah lagi aja semua biar pronounciation-nya pada bener :( :(

[Teruterubotzu]

Iya yah! Terkenal dengan "lah"-nya.. Tapi itu tak baik teman2! sokmengingatkan :D:D

Apa lagi.. apa lagi.. yg model dodol2 gitu..
Kalo gue sih terus terang aja gak bisa dengerin apa yg mereka omongin, soalnya aneh kedengerannya.. Malah dah berubah jadi omong Chinese juga, mungkin gue gak akan tau :D:D

Tapi yah, anak2 sekolahannya hebat-hebat inggrisnya lo anyway! :)

[itsme]

Sebener....benernya....... bukan cuma S'pore aza yg pake Singlish, ada juga Mallish (M'sia English) dan ada versi Aussie English, U know. ;(.

Jean-Luc
::bingung::
Jgnlah 'gitu. Setiap org pasti ada kelemahan tersendiri.
BTW, pernah ngomong bhs Inggris ama org India ??? ato ama org PRC?? dan ngomong ama org Australia ?? ama org Jepang ??
ama org US ??

Ada perbedaan pronunciation (bukan pronounciaiton, pls refer to your msg)antara org Australia dan org Inggris & Amerika, aku tidak bisa kasih contoh disini sebab tulisannya sama tapi ucapannya berbeda, contohnya stomach, pass, etc. (berbeda pronunciotion antara org Australia dgn org Inggris & Amerika)
Kok!! aku sok tau ??, bukan aku sok!! tau, tapi krn lingkungan bekerja saya adalah international oleh krn itu Aku selalu mendengar bebagai org dr berbagai negara berbicara dlm bhs Inggris

[itsme]

Contoh Singlish, ::ketawa::

You think what u see, hah!!...never see before, huh!! ::hhh::

Ini ada cerita dpt dr temen gue. Ceritanya udah dipendekin.

There was an "Ah Lien" (kind of low educated girl), went for a job interview for receptionst position.

Interviewer : Ah Lien, please compose a sentence with these words, "green, pink and yellow"

Ah Lien : When the phone "green", then I "pink" up the phone and I will say "yellow".[/b]

Bagi yg belum bergaul/mengenal langsung ama org S'pore, mungkin tidak akan mengerti joke ini.

[Choko*]

itsme>> wah seh.. lecture me syaz??
I noe my a bei and a bu work hard one la..
wa piang eh.. I good girl aledi wher got alwiz play2
wat u wan?

[topaz]

Wah, ternyata yg sebel ama aksen singlish n malaysian english bukan hanya gue aja toh hehehe ;D
Kebetulan gue tinggal di melbourne yg kotanya multi culture. Banyak banget international student disini. Tapi gue geli ama tuh aksen bukan karena gue gak ngerti dia ngomong apa. Tapi karena pronounce nya aja yg aneh menurut gue. But... itu aksen diatas bukan satu satunya aksen yg gue benci. Yg paling gue gak demen: english nya orang india. Naah...kalo ini baru deh gue gak ngerti dia ngomong apa (plus gue benci ama golongannya mereka :D ) Gimana yah, rasanya dia orang tuh kalo ngomong, kayak gak mau buka mulut gitu (kayak rada rada menggumam), apalagi kalo ngomongin perbendaharaan kata yg mengandung huruf L dan T, kayaknya udah degh ... cengkak cengkoknya ngedangdut gitu.
Yg lain..... aksennya orang greek n italian (bukan yg udah lahir disini loh) tapi yg imigrant imigrant itu, yg umurnya dah tua tua kayak oma opa kita. Busyet man.... selain udah gue gak ngerti, gue juga no idea sama sekali deh dia ngomong apa. Bukannya mo menghina sih (mungkin karena factor umur juga kali yah), mereka kadang tata bahasanya (plus pronounce nya) acak adut kebalik balik...
Gue dulu pernah kerja di toko kecil, card shop gitu, langganannya banyakan orang orang tua (seumuran papa mama kita) ato oma opa gitu. Wah, kalo giliran yg dateng orang greek ama italian, biasanya kuping gue langsung bener bener gue pasang :D Kalo yg bhs inggrisnya lumayan sih gak pa pa. Tapi banyakan ya begitulah.... Pernah sampe gue hampir berantem. Ada satu oma oma dateng. Intinya, gak jelas dia maunya apa, tiap kali gue nanya pasti jawabannya berubah. Padahal buat make sure supaya apa yg dia maksud sesuai sama apa yg gue ngertiin, gue ampe nanya dia berulang ulang kali. Wah man, waktu itu ampe rame, yg kerja di toko itu sampe jadi satu numplek di kasir gue cuman buat ngurusin itu nenek. Boss gue ampe turun tangan. Kasiannya dia juga gak ngerti tuh nenek nyerocos apaan (apalagi dia org bule) ampe dia rada rada naik darah gitu hihihi lucu juga sih kalo inget itu dulu.

[Choko*]

Singlish tuh sebenernya gak nyebelin. Asal dengernya di singapur. Kalo di negara laen tuh kesan nya gak masuk gitu looo

[choti_girl]

ada mungkin?
siapa pelopornya ya? ^^;

[Kawaii Lemon]

[Teruterubotzu]

I wonder... kayak gimana yah tipe Indlish?? ;( :)

[serenity]

Originally posted by Libbie

sorry tapi setahu gue yang ini ngga ada, karena singlish itu sudah masuk national geographic dan "diakuin" sebagai efek dari global multiculture yang ada the world is right outside your backyard
karena 1/5 dari penduduk dunia sudah berbicara bahasa inggris dalam level yang berbeda - beda

singlish jadi phenomena karena singlish bukan aksen seperti orang australi ngomong inggris, atau orang india ngomong inggris tapi singlish ya singlish :D

di sana (national geo) di contohin singlish beberapa - tapi kata gue punya elo elo disini jauh lebih live :D
