乾，我還以為新加坡人的華語跟馬來西亞人的華語一樣棒，沒想到新加坡華語還很爛。
我是印尼華僑，英文和中文一般，我覺得馬來西亞🇲🇾是多語言國家，連粵語都會～超讚！👍🏻
当然啦
我觉得新加坡真的需要多加学习华文
LOL wth these are like super basic...My chinese sucks but I managed to get the correct answer for all even the coaster one. (Due to a chinese song I like that uses it)
And I thought my Chinese was bad. This is a whole new level.
i thought their chinese was good when comparing to mine
@@euphisa8127 That's a new level
@@euphisa8127 relatable
This is only a small crowd. Don’t think thats how all people are.
@@ctrlzme.6448 I have been to Singapore. I can assure you that majority of them are terrible with languages. Their accent sound as if they needed a speech therapist.
So Singaporeans chinese speaks both broken mandarin and broken English.
Gordon Smith sad but true, mainly because the culture here doesn’t advocate the mastery of any single language.
their english is very good they just have an accent😑
Lol agree, their English is kinda broken too. The host asked one of the young boys: are you good IN Chinese?
They have an accent doesn’t mean their English is bad Lmao
their English is fuking terrible
Honestly, the Shanghai girl has the best Chinese and English.
Young Chinese abroad usually speak English pretty well
actually she is just good at vocabulary and pronunciation，her expression or fluency capabilities are shit? cause she said bunches of you know like and some other filler words which makes sound good but uhh..
她好漂亮
@@zichaozhou1916 haha, u r so cute.
@@zichaozhou1916 true, that's a fact happens to most of chinese students that they just want their english to sound like british or american but don't care about the influency
As a Singaporean, I think my Chinese is much better than those in the video😂😂.
Jia Xm flex la
In Malaysia, most of the Chinese here can't speak English very well but their Mandarin is very damn good. Well, I learned Mandarin before but that didn't quite work well.
shen me
LOL I'm an American-born Taiwanese, and my Mandarin is about as bad as theirs :D But my Hokkien is better.
@@howtogitgud I think it's because that majority of Chinese people attend Chinese schools . ( I'm a Malaysian btw ) Students also tend to use Chinese to speak to each other more often
Why are they so proud when they saying their Chinese is bad.
One word...Stupid!
They havent realised the importance of mandarin yet. Wait and see .. haha
and they are so proud of their 'Chinglish' pronunciation, which is a joke to most Americans....
@@maxlee8371 they speak singlish actually
having bad chinese is normal. dun be shy to be normal
The girl with the uncool cap is quite cool
VERY underrated
Haha
You appear on every wijio i watch
I'm a Chinese who can't speak Chinese. Its oddly comforting knowing there's people out there sharing the same circumstances, be it accidental and decisional.
It's embarrassing and I've felt adequate lost and need an island for my kind; in-betweeners.
they can speak, but to differing levels. On a general level, we can definitely understand chinese conversations
@@monkeyluffy4055 Don't be embarrassed. There are many out there like us, you still have time if you wish to learn.
Sherr is GOOD! She nailed the accent almost perfectly as a Korean girl(past video) and as a Mainland Chinese girl. And she's really cute too!
I like these kind of things and wanna see more 💕. Thank you sm for doing this ♥️
Secret Margie Hehehe yes we are gonna do more from now!😊
As a singaporean currently studying degree I find this findings interesting. From my understanding most of my friends are all bilingual. Fluent in both language spoken wise. This is interesting.
The younger generation has really bad oral Chinese.
Youngsters think that English has become their Mother tongue language instead🤦♂️.The netizens especially speaking chinese like to call them "white bananas 黄皮白心" in fact which been look down upon.Some Ang moh can speak better Mandarin than local youngster.
必胜 They can't understand their elders' feelings towards China! Because they grow up in the place where they live! As an Asian, I feel ashamed that English is my native language! They should also be ashamed that they don't speak Chinese! How many Asian countries are influenced by Chinese culture! Look at the chopsticks used in Asian countries, Korea and Japan used Chinese characters too! I think English is my mother tongue! Sad ah!
@@blieverx4967 in general nothing much to do with China itself but rather own identity and root besides its own nationality.The correct mindset is to preserve what you have and we compare with English, you will find Chinese is more than a language itself.
Are you Malaysian?Your awareness is very high
just because someone is Chinese dosen't mean their mother tongue has to be Chinese. in fact no one group has absolute rights to a language since language is acquired through upbringing and the environment and it isn't a biological thing we are born with. The terms 1st language (L1), second language (L2) and so on are more appropriate in this case
A Chinese orphan could be adopted just after birth by Malay parents and raised as a Muslim,speak Malay,and follow Malay traditions and customs completely,and thus his L1 would be Malay instead ,and if he decides later on in life to another language (Chinese or otherwise) than that would be his L2,L3 and so on
the same could be said for the any group. take for example the United states,a nation built upon the efforts and labor of immigrants descended from Europeans. How many of them really speak the their supposed mother tongues? Or third generation of french born and raised Vietnamese ? What about Ukrainians assimilated into Russia during soviet times?
and lets not forget the good old notion that we are generally better at what we like to do. So for some learning a language could be easier (due to interest or a natural aptitude) than another form of academic pursuit and can speak more languages . That dosen't mean a person who cant should be judged,labelled and shamed for it.

TMTV, I like what you are doiing, is like a movement to improve mandarin standard. (Better than the "speak mandarin campaign" ! 👍👍 I'm the very fluent in mandarin kind by SG standard, can communicate with Taiwanese, Malaysian Chinese and PRC chinese etc (95%, but some words like face wash, "bathroom" they got different words in mainland and taiwanese mandarin etc). But your channel is doing a good job, maybe some day.... maybe some day you can make a list of these people who cannot speak mandarin fluent (actually i think the people here that you interviewed a number are the cannot even speak mandarin level, as good as a chinese speaking a few japanese words etc). Maybe some day if you can make a list of those people who want to learn mandarin maybe we can come out with something, I even know malaysian indian who can speak mandarin, maybe some day. We are our race we got to be proud of our own ethnic language not happily or proudly throw it away like many of the younger people here, that way we will end up with chinese who are "fake whites" (both guys and girls) who will happily white worship instead, end result becomes same like the asian americans, that's why they got so much "outmarriage" rates. 加油加油 TMTV, start your new movement, and good job your mandarin improved. 👍👍
Wow! What a long message!
Thank you for your thoughts!!
We will definitely take it to mind and implement :p
And you are rightt!! We are starting a movement!! Not only speak good mandarin, but speak good MOTHER TONGUE!
Our first project is Jmiah(which is me) lol.
Have a good day:D
*Mandarin* , not Chinese. Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Teochew etc are Chinese languages too, just not as many users compared to Mandarin.
中文不止Mandarin一种语言。
Nonetheless, there is nothing proud in being a monolingual. Learn, people, learn.
Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka and Teochew are not Chinese languages, they are called dialects.
And google what is 河洛话, check out the positions or 地位 of these languages in Chinese history.
华语or普通话as the Mainland Chinese calls it wasn't always the language of the Chinese people.
Languages you would deemed as dialects, are actually used for a much longer time before Mandarin came into the picture. These "dialects" have developed their own written forms, intonations, and are used in formal classes even.
Scholars have found that some of the 古诗 or old poems may have been written in Cantonese or 河洛话 by the original authors.
@@frankielim2624 please do some homework before speak. Don't show ignorant
Vee Halen so what? These kids know none of the those.
但Mandrin是华人的统一语言!
Actually, there is a more efficient language than English or Chinese in Singapore, its call Singlish ( a mix of English, Chinese, Malay).
Its the worlds more efficient spoken language. Haha.
Anything in pure English or Chinese can be condensed into just a few words.
P.S. I think the guy at 5:40.... is actually mainland chinese... but act or converted as Singaporean...
Maybe? Who knows
I don't think so... His English sounds native. Most of his Chinese pronunciation sounds like Mainland Chinese (maybe his girlfriend corrected him) but some words (like 缺少) have Singaporean accent
@Jacky Phantom The Shanghai girl looks different from other girls imo. From her accent and a little lack of fluency in English you can tell she's not Singaporean... I'm Mainland Chinese and used to study in Singapore, so I could tell the difference in accents, at lease in Mandarin.
@Jacky Phantom Jacky Phantom Best to know 2 major languages. Additional third language is a bonus. Actually mandarin speakers alone got more than english speakers. (English is third after spanish)
www.babbel.com/en/magazine/the-10-most-spoken-languages-in-the-world/#targetText=Numbers%20vary%20widely%20%E2%80%94%20Ethnologue%20puts,is%20the%20one%20for%20you.
But I think it depends on who you are also. I don't know who are you, if you are arab, south american etc then mandarin is definitely no use for you. But if you are Singaporean chinese, then will be a mistake not to learn it over time. Anglosphere map: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-speaking_world#/media/File:Countries_where_over_50%_of_the_population_are_native_English_speakers.png
English-speaking extended map: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Anglospeak.png/1280px-Anglospeak.png
Not really international. Spanish speaking map is also about the same i.pinimg.com/originals/fe/af/ac/feafaccf6bc247c1158f91427f1aa8ee.gif
French speaking map is also about the same:
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Proportion_of_French_speakers_by_country_in_2014_%280-50%25_gradation%29.svg/500px-Proportion_of_French_speakers_by_country_in_2014_%280-50%25_gradation%29.svg.png
So I don't think there's really a "international language" yet, although that is the story US is trying to put across. (Nothing wrong). But it's a fact that english is not "everything". If you are Singaporean, just step to neighbouring Batam etc. I think whole of Taiwan other than the capital don't speak english as well. Should be the same for Japan and South Korea etc. (Will learn that language first before I head over there next time). In our south of ASEAN actually I think Bahasa is also very major. In Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia etc need that to survive (BM and Bahasa Indonesia is 20% different but more or less can communicate). A lot of people don't speak english in the world, but they are operating on "another part" of world and also different part of the internet so if you keep on accessing websites with english point of view or in our country like singapore you will have that illusion. Still an important language but not everything. In Taichung I saw before a super awkward moment one foreigner only english-speaking and the 7-eleven guy - only mandarin-speaking and they both keep talking in their own language, buying things, thanking etc, but both don't understand each other at all but still works. Funny moment.
The future should be a multilingual world.

I actually wonder how could they communicate every day, since it seems like some of them are neither good at English or Chinese...
We have too many languages. So we just mix all of em’ together.
I'm thinking of that as well man
ikr. Some of them even have very limited vocab and poor grammar/sentence structure in English too but they keep saying they can speak perfect English too especially when communicating with foreigners which I sincerely doubted.
the fact that they have too many languages is really not an excuse. I mean English is their only academic language right if they can't even speak English well there must be something wrong with the educational system i guess
they speak singlish
They speak Singlish, a combination of Hokkien, English, Chinese, some Malay. As the saying goes jack of all trades, master of none.
我们都可以使用“了le和liao”。我们可以说了liao不起，不可以说le不起，对吗？
I agree with you man
that's true!
应该不可以吧，虽然“了”有两个读音，le跟liao的用法不一样。“吃饭了”只能读成"le"，“了解”只能读成"liao"。像“乐”一样，“音乐”只能读成"yue"，“快乐”只能读成"le"。*中文不是我的母语，如果我有写错的话对不起

Generalisation at its best:)
Saying Liao feels like southeast asian chinese culture , actually it’s pretty common saying liao instead of le for us, we could change it to le when speaking to Mainland or Taiwan Chinese.
""Liao"" is hokkien pronunciation for word ""le"" .
As a malaysian Chinese
It is funny to see Chinese struggles with their mother tongue😲
I mean....Come on can't even deal with those common words/phrases in Chinese
Why are you saying this? They just need more practice, you don't have to say its so simple. Even when you started learning, it was obviously difficult, so stop comparing and being boastful as that will never get you to anywhere in life.
Eh hello I also malaysian Chinese wei
to be honest mandarin is not our mother tongue.for example.indonesia chinese.all off indonesia chinese not speak mandarin.but speak chinese etnic language like hokkian.;cantonese;.hakka.etc;.to be honest our mother tongue langguage not mandarin .but chinese etnic like hokkian:.cantonese:.hakka:etc
@@mogaaneh5211 these dialects what you mentioned just be named it is like english has a lot of different accent which sound not same with London
@@user-ru5hu5go5y of course not the same.speak in chinese ethnic dialect than mandarin. to be honest our mother tongue language is not mandarin.maybe hokkian.or hakka or cantonese.etc.so iam not ashame if i can not speak mandarin fluently.i will be ashame when i cannot speak my mother tongue language.like hokkian and hakka.because my father hokkkian and my mother hakka.cause that i fluently speak hokkian and hakka.than mandarin.
Can't speak mandarin to save their lives...
Host: "do you think chinese is important?"
Them: "YES!"
Can’t blame them, they have difficulty appreciating the importance of speaking Mandarin because they weren’t shown why. I’m a proud Malay Singaporean who studied in Tianjin, and honestly mandarin is difficult because of ‘Hanzi’ or Chinese characters which is purely memorisation. Totally understandable.
I will blame the Parents. Just like my Parents not teaching me Hokkien,
其实我可以理解了读liao的原因
大概上世纪初北京话也是这样读的，就像和读han
虽然总的来说大陆普通话扶正了很多北京土语作为标准普通话词汇，但是台湾国语和新马华语也扶正了一些北京土话词汇。

Try to translate with my poor English :-)
I can understand the reason why “了“ is pronounced as "liao" in Singaporean and Malaysian Mandarin.
"了" is pronounced as "liao" in local Beijing dialect in the beginning of the 20th century, just as "和" pronounced as "han" in Taiwan Mandarin.
Though quite a huge amount of Beijing local words and slangs are standardized in mainland Chinese mandarin, some other Beijing words are also standardized by Mandarin in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
其实是因为新马福建话（闽南语）和潮州话表示完成就是用liau，就和新加坡人在问句时和感叹路喜欢加meh和lor（广东话/粤语助词）一样。
It’s really interesting how Singaporeans combine English with some sort of Cantonese modal particles.

I was shocked when I reached Tuas checkpoint of Singapore with a Chinese custom officer spoke to me in Classical Mandarin. It's surprised to see that, because I expected those Singaporeans would use their condescending Singlish to speak with me. It's a really "WOW" experience and I think Singaporeans are trying to embrace their ancestral roots and their sense of belonging.😁😁
I'm office lady hahahaha so good
No wayy
Wow, I'm shocked, most of my Singaporean colleagues can speak Mandarin fluently. I used to think Singaporean Chinese are born bilingual speakers, seems I was wrong...
it’s because they mainly use english in daily conversations. but mix that with chinese whenever seems fit. what you see in this video is the product.

😂your Chinese is so good! A lot of us don’t like Chinese because it’s so difficult to learn. The reason why we all are bad at it is because almost everyone’s parents don’t speak chinese consistently, as such we all aren’t used to it. We don’t want to be either haha

新加坡人学中文就像我学老家方言一样，国家推普多少年了，年轻人在家都是听老人讲方言但自己不怎么讲，在外和人交往又基本都是讲普通话。年轻人不会说家乡方言的情况已经很普遍了，我这边基本上都是会听不会说。而新加坡官方主要还是推英语，我看着他们的半吊子中文，就跟老一辈温州人看我的温州话一样，明明是温州人连温州话都讲不好属实离谱。不过至少新加坡华人学习中文还是有环境的，只要想学也可以学好。我最近在家也尽量不用普通话，家里有讲方言的氛围，多练习一下也是好的
unlike what some people commented.... the guy with a PRC shanghai born friend or gfren is NOT PRC born converted singaporean . No, he is not , based on his english sound and accents. he does speaks mandarin slightly different from most sinkees maybe because of a few factors: he mandarin tuition teachers or teachers from school from young age might be from china / taiwan or have more proper mandarin pronunciation setting. or he stayed some years in China/ taiwan and most likely due to his fact his Gfriend is from PRC .

Great job interviewing. Enjoyable video!
I've stayed in Singapore for 6 months last year and, most people, young and old, switched to Chinese when they talked to me after knowing that I am Chinese. I think its probably the difficulty of talking in front of a camera AND when it's about something you are not familiar with. So if someone is new to Singapore and try to estimate Singaporeans' Chinese skills I would probably tell him/her that this video is not a true reflection.

Chinese is important, but English is more important 😄 come jurong to film another eps🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Both are equally important :D
JURONG! Need passport sia.
"English is important" is because only we are in Singapore. Different country got different "settings". If in Malaysia Bahasa Malaysia is most important, followed by Mandarin, then English etc. If in thailand then thai language first. Our Singapore happen to be the only one after WW2, "merdeka" but realised our majority is not the indigenous population so to be fair they didn't make mandarin the main language but stick with English, end up we become like a "fake western" country. We are not US, we are not UK, we are not Canada, Australia, we are also not even part of western europe. Just happens so. Same for India, they funny they didn't use hindi or any one of the indian language as the main. The south koreans, the japanese and the taiwanese doing a wonderful job keeping their language and heritage.
没知识真恐怖 #suck comments
@Jacky Phantom Where are you from? That is half the truth only. I speak both, so I think I have a better perspective.
@Jacky Phantom If in Taiwan, English is pretty much useless. I'm like a translator between Taiwanese people and foreigners when I was there. In Malaysia, both english and mandarin are useful. Sometimes mandarin even more useful, (100% the chinese malaysians can understand), english to non-chinese malaysians maybe 25% chance they understand. In Indonesia both languages would be useless but the indonesian chinese will either know some bit of mandarin or english. I have also met 2 or 3 vietnamese who can speak mandarin, so for this region it is quite useful as well. On top of it, I speak zero japanese, but japanese texts or anything uses some of the same chinese words, so even if reading you can roughly guess what is the context e.g. (Now I'm also learning Japanese). Bonus points is I realised more and more mainland china people coming out of china as tourists (other than Singapore, the only PRC coming here mostly are from the least developed provinces coming to work. Except sometimes some PRC coming in here as tourists. [Clothing sense very different])
I keep forgetting that Singapore favors English over Chinese so I'm really surprised that they don't speak better Mandarin.

@@Tropicmonsters Euh yeah sorry XD Singaporean accent
新加坡的国语是马来语，除非另外选修第三语言(主要用语英文、第二语文是按种族修读的母语)，基本上新加坡华人都不会说流利的国语 - 马来语。
新加坡主要是由四大种族（华族/马来族/印度族/欧亚族）组成，是个多元种族国家。为了让各种族之间和谐，官方将(英式)英语列为主要用语。
这就是为什么新加坡人的常用语(正式场合)是英语，平时(与亲友、邻居聊天)用Singlish (各种族+各籍贯方言+英语 相结合的语言/语法)。
而部分新加坡华人在家里跟长辈交谈一般都用华语（普通话）或方言。

The lady should not have said "Lao" is wrong. There is no right or wrong pronunciation. She does not understand our culture（Southerner) and that Singaporean Chinese are all from southern China and the "Liao" is actually used in both Cantonese and Hokkien.
Clearly shows Singaporean will not be mistaken as a china citizen.
你们好 💕I love Chinese Language 💋
你好!

They are not speaking English, they are creating a new language 😂

Similar situation could be in Paraguay because Spanish and Güaraní, both languages are widely spoken
Lmao, u made them awkward 😂

I’m learning Chinese and find your channel to be a lot of fun! 我在学中文和你的频道很好玩!
九十年代看过好多新加坡的汉语电视剧。都是美好的童年回忆。
随着普通话国际化，新加坡该重视华文教育有利于国家未来发展进步

@薛天天 为什么呢？！
@薛天天 那肯定的，bilibili素质查的人越来越多了
Liao which is also Chinese , from dialect Hokkien, this shanghai girl she didn't know!
It doesn’t really matter between Liao and Le. It’s kinda like Either and eIther. People would understand either of them
@Tesuya kinko and would you mind to elaborate on that?
@@chia-haochou8102 le is a particle in Standard Mandarin which indicates perfective aspect e.g. zhidao-le 知道了 to have known or an interjective particle 明天是周六了; while liao is a verb, e.g. liaojie 了解 liaoran 了然. The particle 了 can be read as LIAO only in Peotic situation in Standard Mandarin.
@@aiweiliu1223 I also heard 了 is also pronounced 'Liao' in like Hokkien or something, which is the predominant dialect group in Singapore, and that may have influenced Singapore Mandarin. But I'm not native Singaporean and no one in Singapore really speaks other Chinese Varieties nowadays so idk.
Those who only knows 1 language is going to lose out so much opportunity. After that complain difficult to find job or why another guy came in later promoted faster than u.
Jack They will blame it on immigrants 😇
Very true. I do not know Chinese myself but I learned Vietnamese instead. With changing economics and shifting factors of production, it's always a good idea to learn another language.
Speaking Chinese to my friend to sub to tmtv

Are they Singaporeans? God does anyone feel like me that even English or Chinese all of them didnt speak well @@ what are their native language?
thu nguyen 你的英文也不太好
Irfan Aditya no. I didnt say everybody should know English well. I mean they think their native language now is English and dont keep studing mother language - Chinese anymore. But the important is they even werent good at both of them. Their accent is even worse than the Shanghai-Chinese girl speaking. I feel sad for them so I wonder how Singaporeans will be in the future :(. English is my second language and chinese is the third one. I still keep improving Chinese because I love it❤ ❤
加油💪
Lol
Hmm I think it's the way you are brought up that affects whether your fluent

CHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
這些人除了中文差，英文也講的很一般，一口濃重的口音，卻夾雜中式語法。不英不中，沒有自己的native language...
I'm bad in Chinese and I'm proud of that, not meaning that learning Chinese is bad, but if someone need to talk to us, they should learn the language that I know not theirs
But no Chinese will say they are proud of poor English.Banana man is surly not Chinese.
@@chaojiang6246 C'mon, some of them (including me) just understand that a language itself won't actually make someone proud, but the language we mastered back then somehow will help us survive a situation in future which make us proud. Did you get me? The "SURVIVAL" which make us proud. When I learn good English today, not the "English" itself will drive me to the "PROUD", but when I managed to settle something where involved high-level English, the "SUCCESS" of survive will make me proud of having English as my second language. Just like that.
Typical entitlement of anglophones
In the beginning of the video she looks ljke the girl in a koreaboo video also i think from singapore from tropic monsters tv
Edit: oh it is her from that acting
