last SG · 2010-05-02T05:52:22+00:00

do we tok about rolling the 'r' next?

Yao.peijun SG

that is quiet common mistake

is that because the people in south china can't curl their tongue?

thus most singaporean pronociate "th" [θ] as "ph" [f]

and for mandrain , looks like no different about : shi 十and si 四

Clivebenss SG

Pronociate??

FireIce SG

bcos some might kamlan and bite their tongue too hard

th is "f" usually at ending
the most common one is with

sh is 翘舌
which is not related to "th"

and i have no idea wat u trying to say
just randomly linking these things so u can pick on ppl's pronunciation

i haben even mention the spelling mistakes.........and the wonderful grammar

dragg SG

TS is just asking why locals commit common mistakes he happens to notice.

I'm unsure of the mandarin part but tree and three sound prominently different in pronounciation. People articulate rather than 'pronounce' nowadays

Because english is an alien language to han chinese?

Singapore is probably the only state in the entire world where majority group(75%-80%) in that country forced to learn alien language just because the leader is an english speaking motherfucking bastard.

serve the interests of the english speaking elite which he belongs, that anglo fucking bastard.
