MANGLISH?? =D
This manglish term stand for Malay (malaysian) + English = Manglish
yup! this is a Malaysian speaking style,
the way we talk with our locals regardless of our races
either you are Malays, Chinese, Indians or so on...
always be proud to be part of this unique style of using English language
just in Malaysia only k
not available in other countries except for Singaporean
where they have Singlish ( Singapore + English )
yup! we do share similarities with them
but nevermind
we are different in our own way and style right! :)
Look at these examples
when we say:
Why you so
boring?
what we actually means:
Why are you so
bored.
when we say:
Please
gostan your car!
what we actually mean:
Please
reverse your car!
when we say:
Please
pass up your paper after the class
what we actually mean:
Please
hand in your paper after the class
when we say:
please give me the
rubber
what we actually mean:
please give me the
eraser
when we say:
The tyres
have no flower
what we actually mean
The tyres
are bald
when we say:
I just got
saman for parking illegally
what we actually mean:
I just got
fine for parking illegally
when we say:
Don't
biggen the problem
what we actually means:
Don't
exaggerate the problem
when we say:
Don't play play
what we actually mean:
Don't take it lightly
when we say:
I don't like her. She always
act when they are other people around
what we actually mean:
I don't like her. She always
shows off when they are other people around
Apart from these, we are also tend to use these words when we talk
1) lah = Don't be so shy l
ah!
2) meh = Really
meh!
3) liao = No more food
liao
4) ah = Is it true
ah?
5) lor = Like that
lor.
6) got =
Got or not? or
You
got anything to do?
7) one = why is he so bad
one ah?
8) nah =
Nah, take this!
9) mah = He always behave like that
mah.
10) can =
can or not?
or sure
can...
Manglish or English is better?
well, for me, I would say both are good to be adapted in our daily life
but the usage of the language must appropriate with the context and
where and when we have to use it
P/s: There's nothing to be ashamed about Manglish
BUT don't ever STOP & GIVE UP to learn better English language
cheers! :)
