    Hello
    I know that sms is not liked here. I fully understand that. So can somebody fill me in on these terms

    1) lah
    2) jang
    3) sian
    4) kiki

    sorry I realise that it may be just a diffrent langauge. I thought that it may be a way of joking but as i have seen these terms applied to non-funny situations I am now confused. Btw there are other ones I may add later
    hehehe
    thankyou

    kiki might be a different version of keke. I think keke is gotten from anime.. something like hehe.

    Example: "keke, my fish are very cute" means "hehe, my fish are very cute".

    jang I don't know...

    Singlish is a complicated blend of English, Mandarin, Malay and some Tamil and Chinese dialects... No one will blame you for not being able to understand... I try to provide a translation as much as I can, but sometimes we get too comfortable and forgot...

    You can try the links provided in the thread that Valice provided in post#2 to understand more of Singlish.
