your Singlish completely koyah one.
then that last statement is very crude even though I don't quite catch which one it mean. the common one should be "Kiao Kar Yo L... P..."
Tolong lah, teach me Singlish leh.
I am feeling Kaypoh today and have decided sometime within the next couple of years to make a trip to Singapore . In an effort to get to know the 'lingo' and out of respect for the forum I would like to learn to spiak a bit of Singlish. Maybe when I am there we could visit Kopi tiam for a chat? Already my mind is barang barang from all the new words I am learning
Can lah if I asked for translations of the Singlish I do not understand here? It would be nice to arrive in your beautiful country with a little knowledge. And to communicate a little better here on this forum. Can ah teach me lah? You have to be patient with me because maybe I am KAY KIANG.
Kind regards
Cameron

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Sorry, I will edit out, thought it was quite funny. My apologies, was not meaning to be crude.
Koyah one? Means it is rough?
seeing that you are so keen, you can start with this dictionary http://www.talkingcock.com/html/lexe...exicon=lexicon
the word you want is koyak.
after learning some simple words, you can atttempt to read the articles at www.talkingcock.com

My singlish koyak ?
Now you hurt my feelings Tolong, lah
This made me laugh out loud!Originally Posted by hwchoy
Happy Camper, to learn Singlish is to get to know how it originated. We know where it originated so the 1st lesson must be to know who spoke it. Once you know that, the rest is downhill.
Nevertheless, all you need is time and understanding.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

Hello BFG, Amacam?

singlish is a mix of malay/hokkien/teochew/chinese/english all rolled into one.
Most words you see on the site choy mentioned, at least, have those roots.
You're doing quite well i must say.

learn singlish the best way is come over here and borrow some money from my ahlong brudder ah seng. very soon you will find him very helpfully call you on your phone and shout powderful singlish phrases for you to practice, and also come to your house at night and write singlish phrases (e.g. O$P$ and others relating to your maternal ancestors) for you to practice. Usually he even leaves a pig head in recognition of your hardwork.

Kong si mi? You must have slippery fingers to not catch the ballOriginally Posted by hwchoy
Kiu = to make alot of noise (speaking rubbish?)
boh = placed b4 the verb is making a negative?
Boh Kiu = unpleasant noise?

Geez. If you learnt all that from reading the forums, you're doing pretty well.
Kiu = ball.
Boh = no, don't have.
E.g.
Wa boh ke = I'm not going.
Boh, wa boh koon = No, I didn't sleep.
Barang barang = stuff, things.
Tumpang = give a lift
I think you meant to use "tolong" which is help.
Chio kah peng = ROTFL

Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
