Are you a narrative speaker?




How do you do in this el-nino season in this time ?
Perhaps, air conditioning may help you I guess. 


There's a bunch of people outside there, which is ask me to blog out about something with my Bahasa. I'll run your favour. Don't worry.


But...Unfortunately...


At the same time, there's a bunch of 'em ( coming out with people ) have been pleased in this way. Don't much worry I'll somehow. Pokoknya, sabar semuanya.


As I said before, I am trying and in loved actually to make myself as a linguistic person. So, go figure. No ones can stop you from learning languages. We're not perfect either,but, we can be so perfect. Language is a life-long learning.





 Mangling the language..



We encounter Manglish every day, but do we have to tolerate it ?

"C'mon lah you all, can you all faster decide lah. " This was part of a dialogue in some of TV commercial. Hearing locals speaking like this now very common.

Welcome to the very interesting and intriguing world of Manglish.
What is manglish for those are daft to think about it. Manglish is Malay + English.

Alamak, ayoyo, adoi, apa nama, ect, and suffixes mah, kan, one and the perennial and lovable lah are now almost always heard in Manglish.

"Please" is rather selfishly used. Why? I am not sure One- word sentences are also heard often when Manglish is used: "can", "cannot", "go", "come", and short phrases.


"On the switch" (Please put on the switch), "Off the switch" ( Please put off the switch), "keep and touch " (Keep in touch) are some instructions and phrases we commonly hear too, especially amongst young people.
And so on..

Even with the numerous constructive ideas and suggestion put forth by various interested and knowledgeable parties on the poor standard of English in the country, I notice that the problem has still not been properly addressed by the people responsible for formulating our education policies.

But, it's Manglish, and they say, " Anyhow oso can".! 
We're in Malaysia meyh, not in UK. "Anyhow oso can, no problem "



In a nutshell, we've done it perfect unless you don't get it.
In the meantime , I have begun to fed up with some of 'em who's really love to spell this word "Really" turn to "Rely". Well, frankly each of 'em have their own meaning. Do not take it easy.





Facts : My english is suck, to be frank :P
