MooKu SG One day, an elderly person approaches you for help. He speaks to you in dialect, but you're a dialect idiot, and there's nobody else around! What will you do, especially if the elderly person appears to be in great difficulty?
FireIce SG how come nobardie else around leh? give him a "i relli wanna help, but i can't understand u" look....... and hope someone comes by asap or if not too inconvenient, bring him to somewhere with civilization and ask around for help
MooKu SG Well, for instance, in a carpark there isn't always many people around. So you're going to stand there and hope ah?
Darkness_hacker99 SG Yar.. My grandma's brother come to visit us from china... and his dialect is super thick.. I can't understand sia.. After he repeat from 47392473928 times, I finally know what he means he.. "Where is your grandmother?" -.-"
FireIce SG near the carpark should have houses, flats, kopitiams, shops...... if the old man is not disabled or wat can lead him there
Kuali Baba SG I’d be stumped. Replying in Mandarin (and hoping that he/she understands) might seem tackless but it also seems like the best option.
MooKu SG Cham leow. Okk at least I must learn how to say "Sorry I don't understand" in a few langauges.
