There are many dialect to my race too, and some of the ppl use it as their primary langauge at home. We are rather complicated, lol. So it's not easy to totally understand what Singaporean is talking but usually we communicate with ppl who are not of the same race group in English.

Oh!!
So that's how it works - thank you!

And about the Mandarin Language situation, that part I understand a bit more of. My adopted sister is Mandarin (married a Cantonese, but over here in American. And they have mostly gotten past those intricacies), and she explained to me basically what you just did:
That there are many subdialects of the the Mandarin/Cantonese language, mostly according to relatively small geographical locations. Thus, I can fully understand what you mean.

But unlike China, who's official language is Mandarin, I didn't know that Singapore communicates with non-citizens in English!

I've learned something today.
Thank you.

Erm.... non-citizens??? There're 3 main racial groups in Singapore (majority chinese/tamil/malay), we mostly communicate in English across groups... so erm, we're all citizens :/

Most of us are bilingual in English and our mother tongue (ie. english/chinese for chinese, english/malay for malays...).

Now I've learned something else.

Thank you for the clarification.

When I said 'non-citizen', I meant people like ME. (in this case: American)

I unfortunately misinterpreted what Hype was referring too.

lol.. But anyway, Singaporeans are very flexible, they are able to communicate with almost everyone in the world. Some of them even learn language from other countries too! We have a majority of the ppl here learning a third language to further equip ourself with better knowledge. Our country is a multi-racial community, so we have to adapt ourself into communicating with others, so that makes us very flexible!


Yeah 300 quotes are great.. Check them out.

Belgium is a flexible country aswell. We have 3 languages in belgium Dutch French and German. I've started learning french on 10 years old that means around 9 years. I've started learning English when I was 13 years old and German at 17 ... And dutch is my primary language. After that I've learned some Japanese words aswell just basics ... so we can say we are flexible but I had a question for you since its a Ask hype thread and not how flexible are you thread :-) You said in a thread that you respect females more then males how come ? is that normal in your country ? and how come you don't have time for a gf ^^

I knew it!

We all thought Belgium was this quiet, little peaceful country....but look at what they are doing!
Learning multiple languages!
This means they are tactically flexible!
Always phear the quiet ones!

BELGIUM AND CANADA ARE PLANNING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!

We _know_ you and Canada have an evil plot forming! We can all tell by the sheer animosity Canada and Belgium breeds that this must be true!

And don't get me started on the Dutch!

Whaddya say Hype? You see it too, right?

hoho, someone wants to jump on me out of no where lol.. Well, I didn't start on how flexible I am in this thread, you tried to make a topic out of nowhere.. o.O

Yes I do respect females more than males, but I'm the minority of my country, so why use a sweeping statement? I respect them because they should deserve it, without their 9 months of "suffering" you wouldn't be here. They are sometimes on the losing ends but we should be fair to them as well..

About having a gf, it's time consuming and pocket-burning lol.. Unless I find someones that really understand each other or I doubt I would start 1 right now.. I have too much comitment to do, especially playing of DotA now. Test, projects and exams are talking up too much of my daily life and I'm going crazy over it..

As long as it made you laugh, then mission accomplished.

Seriously, has anyone ever really heard of Belgium (or Canada for that matter) upsetting anyone intentionally without reason? I never have.

BTW, what is DotA?
