As an INDIAN our English is blend of British 70% , American 20% & INDIAN 10%.

True
20 percnt American all coz f holly movies
Yeah
But full of Indian Accent
@Sourav Das yes, but i thik many country uses capsicum word like Singapore, Malaysia, new Zealand and india.
Indian English is just a combination of everything thats easy to say and cool to sound😂
True 😂😂😂😂
true
Haha 🤣 agree
True😂😂
@@rush6837 every indian have different accent 😏
In India, we don’t really use a specific word, we use words that just suit the sentence
The Singaporean lady is very young and her Singapore Standard English has been partially influenced by American English. Older generations of Singaporeans do actually use the word 'rubber' more often than 'eraser'. But anyway, am glad to hear her use 'lift' instead of 'elevator'. 😃🙏
Indians also say Lift for elevator
And hotel for Restaurant
Coffee shop for Cafeteria
Junior college instead of highschool 😂😂
I was thinking too that I use to say rubber, not eraser in Singapore (grew up in the 80s)…shit does that make me older generation 🤣😭😭
@@michellewhitehead7053 90s here, eraser as well haha prob cause of how the stationeries are labelled.
Same here in India, sometimes I say rubber and sometimes I say eraser. I don't remember saying elevator at all.
@@chatgpt4135 oh, I have always thought about why we say Junior College, even though in many other countries they call it High school.
We Indians use words that are comfortable rather than anything specific
Yea
100% true.
It's just called fast food/hotel/street side food/food court nothing specific.
It's pants or pant.
It's socket or plug point.
Also Indians: TrOuSeRs
Army
@@dadisnuskhe123 yuppp 💜
Singapore : Biscuit
Philippines : Biscuit
India : wait..It's actually BISCOOT.
😂😂😂😂😂
@Abhirup Nath BB ki vines
Also Biskit
Same in Bangladesh
Bisket. Biskwit. Biskot😀🤭
xd lol so accurate ..BISCOOOOOOT, BISKUT.. woh bhi chai ke sath
Food court - malls
Canteen - school
Cafeteria - offices
Palengke (market) / night market or banchetto - street food
Di marunong mag Tagalog ung pinay
@@supindamedrano2709 actually hindi naman sa hindi siya marunong mag tagalog. Kung tutuusin mas madalas natin gamitin yung english word sa mga bagay bagay. Sa tingin ko yung topic nila hindi literal na i translate in tagalog or sa language nila yung words..
And jeans not pants.
Plug isnt that outlet for us?
@@goygoyung789 Ang eggplant Talong s Tagalog
In Filipino, we actually call Car Park as just "Parking" as well, short for "Parking Area" for general terms and "Parking Lot/Underground Parking" depending on specifics. We also call it food court for air conditioned ones and food park/street for outdoor food areas. Outlet or electric outlet is also more commonly spoken but heavily interchangeable with Socket, with Plug being very rare but understandable.
I agree. The plug is what you insert in the socket to power your device/appliance.

@@Rakesh-vf7jt 😅
In India, we use 'Parking' in the sense of a noun. Nobody says Parking Lot or the Parking Area, we just say Parking. E.g: "I'm heading to the Parking."
same in polish, so I barely get why it's funny to use it as a noun cause I am just so used to hearing it as such
But I have heard everybody calling it a parking lot... Parking is used as well tho
My father don't even the say the word "parking"
He says
"Gadi laga ke aata hu😂"
It is wrong many people say Parkin Lot
we also use basement when the parking lot is located in the basement
Hi! I'm a Filipino and this is the words that I think most filipinos are using to call the objects or places on the pictures.
1. Parking lot
2. Food Court
3. Pants/Trousers
4. Electrical Outlet (official)/socket/plug
5. Elevator(more used when it's used to lift people)/Lift(more used when it's used for lifting objects)
6. Eraser
Parking Area

Moving from Zimbabwe to Canada had its own trip-ups for me. In Zimbabwe we call an eraser a rubber too. You use it to rub things out. However, at work one day, I asked the secretary for a rubber. She politely but very firmly told me that I would have to buy it myself from the pharmacy. Which I found very odd. It turned out that Canadian "rubbers" were condoms.
Hahaha🤣😂 so she accepted you brother
1. Parking Lot
2. Food Court
3. Pants

5. Elevator
6. Eraser
I use these terms as a Filipino.

As we Indians we learn British English so we call lift and elevator is American one.
i call it elevator tho
In Indonesia usually call lift but we can understand elevator
We use both
@@newbeeify oo I don,t
'Elevator' is spread to India through American movies. I prefer "lift" as it is widely used in India. But many now use "Elavator" because "lift" is now seen more as an Indian word and elevator is seen as the English word and people want to feel more "educated". (Because people in India use English as a status symbol and give a feeling of 'more educated'). Another word like this is "Lorry". Lorry is the British english. Americans call it "truck". Many Indians think that "Lorry" is an Indian word and 'Truck' is the English word. As a result many now use 'Truck' instead of Lorry.
these videos of yours are so light and fun to watch hehe
0:33 Where I'm from in the Philippines, we either call it a 'parking lot' or 'parkingan' (parking + -an; meaning 'parking place' or 'place of parking'). I'm not sure what parts of the Philippines say 'car park'.
We use car park specially if you're inside the mall...
Sa Cebu medyo common ang carpark
i can relate to, why our indian guy looks so confused at all those .😂
Ofc 😂😂😂
I guess we don't use pants much but we use "jeans" more...😂✌️
That's what I was gonna say 💯
@@reenagarg4671 😂
yes i think he also confused between jeans or pants
We called it 'long pant' not just 'pant.'
@@reenagarg4671 true
some parts in the Philippines,we call it electric outlet.Plug is that thing whch you plug on the outlet.
1. Parking
2. restaurant
3. jeans
4. - I never used the word like socket / power plug , etc while saying
5. lift
6. Rubber
I use these terms as a Indian .
4 . Switch board
In India we say
Parking
Pant
Socket (Outlet in public places I guess)
Rubber in school/ Eraser in upper education
Lift
Street Food maybe
i dont think we use outlet at all
We use plug instead of socket or outlet
@@happysoul2363 plug is used for charging device
@@hmmer3471 still tho we generally say plug
@@happysoul2363 when there is no place for charging, ppl will say I can't find any socket in this room not I cant find plug. Generally speaking this is a rare case bcos socket is there everywhere but the plug or adaptor is what ppl forgot to bring so I think you got confused
"parking" actually makes sense if you use it like a noun. normally we just say "where's the parking?"
but there is no such a word parking that could be consider as noun. Parking would always be a verb.
@@brwatcher8883 Except, there is. Infact, it has more than a couple meanings as a noun.
back in 2001, we were designing a mall with a large food bazaar/ food court and it was supposed to be named Hawker Center (we were told the design is inspired by Singaporean food courts)
As a Filipino who grew up in both Philippines and UK, I say in Philippines we use Parking Lot a lot and only few people use Car Park and Car Park is most commonly used in the UK. For Food Court, it is technically called Food Park here in Philippines outside the malls or in open area. Although, I didn't know and I only used to think of Food Court in malls, but few years ago, Food Parks started to be famous and lots of new Food Parks were buing built or created around the country. I just found that out when my best friend told me and we went to some of them.

Few Ans:- Socket, Plug point, Switch board, Charging point, Power outlet (maybe we use in some parts or maybe not).
AND:- the Indian guy was respectful and Original.💖💖

@@no2isbrown628 yep.
ahaha as an indian living in SG, the hawker centre/food court thing was so relatable! hawker centre is out in the open, and food court in an enclosed space with ACs like she said.
2:03 we also say "Canteen"
As a filipino we usually call it parking lot, most filipino don't use car park😬
Yeaaah, I was so confused lol. I was like whaaaaa? Car park?
Parking area
I agree
parking area i guess
The carpark term can be found in several malls and offices now, esp for the vertical ones (whether elevated or underground)
For the horizonral or open parking, its still literally called a parking LOT for the most part(s) lol
India being a common wealth country.. mostly the english that we use is British english. But recently few american words are being used as well.
T R U E
❤️✨
Yes because they were invade by the British Colonies a century ago (i guess)
Because of the influence of Hollywood
In the Philippines, a parking lot is usually an open parking area while a carpark is part of a building or the building, itself intended for parking.
More of this...its fun to watch.

India we use plug point. daily use. Socket is not used but may be in shops
From this video, you can tell which country colonized what country. Like, the US colonized the Philippines so they most likely to use American English while India and Singapore were a colonized by the Brits so they use British English more.
Hey I'm a student from India .I have completed a six months English speaking course .. can we practice for more improve ?
Indians always use a blend of British, American and Indian style vocabulary..........
Agreed
In the Philippines, the term “food court” is used when it is found inside a mall. On schools, however, we call it canteen or cafeteria. Lastly, at least from where I am currently located, we usually refer the one mentioned in the video as “food park”.
Oh yes..... canteen and cafeteria is true in India too.
in our university, we call it 'food court' but when I was in high school, what we have is a canteen
food park.
Same in Australia.
I think food parks are a new trendy word in the Phils. At least where I'm from.
In india we also use the word
Instead of food court we will tell it as canteen
1. Food Court (Airconditioned) & Food Plaza (Al fresco/ Open Space) in the Philippines
2. Eraser Shavings - usually Filipinos use the Filipino Term “dumi” which means dirt in English but commonly if we were to call it, it would be Eraser Shavings.
The Korean Guy is like :-
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh"
"Hmmmmmmm"
"Ohhhhhhhhhh"

Indian English is a combination of British, American, Australian and some other English blend since we study and watch different accents. Even there are some Indian contributions to English.
My Indian bro you won my heart by saying "RABBADD"😂
not sure but the socket in india, i’m pretty sure it’s called a plug *point*
Plug point is very common than plug socket and than power outlet.......
@@shibarajsahu5291 yeah yeah that’s what i thought lol thanks
If you go to an electrical shop to buy it you will call it as a socket. At home also you will call it a socket (even in Indian languages).
Charging point or plug point is generally used colloquially for charging area like when you want to charge mobile phones
in my area both are used
@@shibarajsahu5291 Dude wtf😂😂...I dont know why but i have only heard people calling it as Socket in my state...
Indian guy is on point..
More indian than many of ys watching vids
Northeast India there's is three types of pant s
1.Long Pant (any which is long)
2.Short/Half pant
3.under pant (also underwear)
We want more parts of this😁 it's quite interesting 🤩
As a Filipino, I grew up calling it "Socket"/"Outlet"

Same. Pero my parents call it plug. lol
🤗
Same, I used the term Outlet, and I'm more familiar with Socket than Plug.

1. Parking lot
2. We don’t have these that are shown in the photo in the US but it looks like one of our indoor Farmers Market but based on your responses we’d say Food court (inside Mall) / Dining Hall
3. Pants / Gray Jeans
4. Socket / Power Outlet
5. Elevator
6. Eraser / Eraser fragments, dust (pronounced with a hard S not Zed / EE ray sir/) (I’ve never seen an eraser like that lol ours are pink)
Its so amazing hearing car park a lot of times its so damn good in ears
most commonly used word for it was rubber , and the reason it is called a rubber is because of the fact that it is used for "rubbing" and not because it is made of rubber
Rubbed
😂 Rubbing? You are the first one who thinks like this.
Disclaimer to all that this is his personal thoughts. Not of Indians.
@@ShivamPandey-vl3iz stated the actual reason of it being called as rubber , lgta toh mujhe bhi yahi tha ki ye rubbad ki bani hai isiliye ise rubbad bolte hain 😂😂

I was gonna write the same
A “parking lot” in the Philippines is used to refer to an open space, while a “car park” refers to a multilevel structure.
Hi I'm a student from India .. I have completed a six months English speaking course .. can we practice ?
well for car park we use the term parking area most commonly in india.
Strangely here in Australia, we use power point or power socket when we talks about plug! Thanks for the fun of finding out what words are we using and it is unique to English speaking world!
I thought he'd say "plug point" along with "socket". Tell me I'm not the only Indian who uses "plug point" way more than the word "socket".
@@anubratabasu3766 Oh yeah I completely forgot about "plug"
"Plug" too is pretty common!
Just plug
Most of us call it flug 😂😂
Switch board is also used...
We use word "switch"..
As long as you say trouser , it takes us too long to say parking lot . So we (indians) just simply call it parking.
Yes..
Electric plug is also called Electric Outlet here in the Philippines
In Philippines, Foodcourt is inside the mall, karinderya/carinderia is in the public places and canteen is inside a school.
I am not from India though but as a neighbor we do have the same words we use in our language. 😁

In Indian English an open parking area which is manned and not free is generally called parking lot. 'Parking area' might generally be free.
In local languages you might just ask - where is the parking here?
Exactly!
Food court is more of a Mall or business centre thing in India and for the street it's more like food stalls...
Mess and canteen are used for cheaper ones and for places like hostels, institutes and colleges...
In Bahrain,we refer to mall atrium as food court and we don’t have street food.Instead,we have food trucks.
In Singapore 90s we used Rubber too, only from 2000s, maybe due to internet influence we start to use - eraser
Yeah even older indian generation used to say Rubber but new generation like to use the word Eraser more often.
Hi we need part 3 of Singapore , Philippines and indian vocabulary change and also because they do fun that make us entertain.
Food court usually inside the mall.
Food park usually in open space & tents
Funny how I'm Filipino but I use Parking lot and Outlet more often than Car park and Socket. 😅

In India is "Parking lot" too but we also use which the locals can understand too. "Bhai parking Kaha hair?" "Kaha park kardu" or "where's the car parking"? Or just straight up garage 😂
Food court- the guy's right...we usually use it for the ones in the malls. We have specific "food streets" as well for local ones
And I don't know anyone who uses "socket" we just say plug 😭 for both the socket and the actual plug
Lift/elevator both are common but I think generally conversing in local languages we use lift
When I was in school we used to call that shit rubber. Eraser was used by those pretentious rich school kids
In India we commonly use parking lot or parking place ... And pants we use long pants or half pants

I'm An Indian living in Australia for 35 years but even now when we go out we are looking for parking instead of saying looking for a car park.😁
🤗
Hello . I'm a student from India.. can I talk with you ..
Some possible corrections on the Filipina part
1. We just use parking lot for the lot itself. Then Parking for the area or place to park the car
2. It's pants. We don't use trousers not because it's too long, mainly because we were not influenced by UK, but by US. Also, tagalog/bisaya for pants is pantalon, so pantalon - pants.
3. People mainly use outlet first, not socket, not electric plug. In school it's taught as electric outlet/socket.
And regarding the food court.
This is actually a recent development before the pandemic when food courts outside of malls were built in the Philippines. They of course are like compunds with several food establishments and they do look like a food court but with no air conditioner. Here we called them "Food Parks." We cannot call them street food as first, they are not lined up along the street. Second, street food is what we call for those peddlers that moves along the streets while shouting the name of the food they are peddling, or if they choose to stay in one side of the street alongside other peddlers, that's what we call as street food.
Parking lot or Parking Area.
Trousers are fancy for pants
Outlet for socket, usually, socket for individual but outlet for collective
Finally, eraser. We call it eraser but British calls it rubber. In the philippines rubber could mean, elastic band or condoms
Maybe just in your province..
In our province we say car park or parking lot or parking area or parking space,
We say long pants, pants for short, familiar of trousers but not commonly use..
We say outlet or socket..
Maybe in their province they use to say it..
so I think your comment not represented as a whole Filipinos but to some other Filipinos.. same with her..
in your statement, to some filipinos you are correct but others will disagree..
Female plug
we don’t use pantalon in bisaya we say karsones:)
I’m a Filipino. I call the eraser “erasures”
I got used to that word because my mom keeps saying “tanggalin mo yung pambura/erasures sa mesa.”
(Remove the erasures in the table)
Indian guy's expressions were like teacher is asking something from another student and he knows all the answers 🤣🤣❤️
That Indian guy represents us so well! ❤
As a Filipino, i grew up hearing "Rubber Eraser"
I correct the pilipino words
Parking area * Paradahan
Food court * Kainan
Pants * Salawal
Socket * Saksakan
Eraser * Pambura
be proud pilipino language sis.
Here in the Philippines we don't usually use PLUG but SOCKET/OUTLET is.
In the Philippines, a rubber is either a literal rubber, or a condom.
hahaha
Hahahahhhah
Our Indian guy looks confused (a little low confidence) he forgot camera is in front of him. But I really appreciate that he is real/original here didn't pretend to be someone else.
Its just nice to see countries getting along together!
That was an Electrical outlet or just Outlet. Plug or power plug is the corded device that is inserted into it. Socket is the outlet for bulbs/lights.
