So maintain your poise, continue speaking and answer in dialect no matter what language other people is speaking to you so they have no choice but to continue converse and may be forced to listen to some dialects.

BanguIzai SG

Even when you have chance to be interviewed on TV, use DIALECT. Some people have the fucked-up preconceived notion that must speak Mandarin when interviewed on TV.

Clivebenss SG

BanguIzai SG

Speak dialect to the next ROBINSONS cashier.

Too bad, their problem. For me, I would try to speak dialect and Mandarin alongside to let them know how the dialect is spoken anyway.

BanguIzai SG

Speak dialect in Hair salon.

Speak dialect in cafe.

Their willingness to speak Chiangchew Hokkien or Cantonese means they are not ashamed of speaking dialect at all !

They know dialect is just a language, their language and THE language.

Nothing low, nothing higher, nothing awkward and nothing special. So they just use normally.

BanguIzai SG

A few weeks ago I met a Muar girl working at a sweet drinks shop, so afraid to speak Hokkien to me although I asked her she said she is Hokkien . Even Muar people are starting to be influenced by Singapore thinking that dialect is something to be ashamed of.

but if locals especially the young ones, they are complete detached from dialects. I wonder what the parents or grandparents are thinking?

BanguIzai SG

A few days ago I spoke Hainanese to the lady hairstylist coz she said she from Hainan and married here 10 years liao and slowly slowly she start to converse with me in Hainanese also. Need some familiarization and training / warm up to use dialects again for many people.

The parents and grandparents had already been brainwashed thinking dialects is useless and not the $$$-earning language. This is mentality of CHINESE.

Clivebenss SG

Sg tv programs are recievable all the way to Melaka, those Chinese within range in Johor and Melaka are more like Sg Chinese than their northern counterparts.

BanguIzai SG

This shows Chinese is a group of people who are goonless, easily influenced, $$$-driven (or should I say 被錢牽著鼻子走) group.

to be truth, hokkien is a good commerce language. That's a waste. Many good idioms on commerce if know how to apply.

BanguIzai SG

For Chinese,

useless = no $$$-bringing capability

useful = have $$$-bringing capability

For Chinese, everything is measured by money !

WAA, that's good. Let's do some research and contribute at the Hokkien thread to 發揚光大.
