English-you don't know

新加坡英语口语在句法形态学 （Morphosyntax）中的一些基本特点
Examples:
这部电影中最常讲英语的人是儿子Terry的妈妈，影片一开始她出现的时候讲了：Do you know how lucky that two of you are? You have a good and responsible mother who know how to take care of you. 从这样一句话中，我们可以看到新加坡英语口语一个显著特点：没有性数的统一， 即在使用第三人称单数时，动词词尾没有加“s”（knows）。 在她与女儿Selina和儿子Terry的一段对话中，还可以看出新加坡的言语转换与新加坡英语更多的特点： Mom: Selina, where is all the ang pow that you got for your birthday? Selina（Daughter）: That’s my money. Why I must give it to you every time? Terry（Son）: Yeah, lah. 为什么都要给你？ Mom: 我知道这是你们的钱，but I will help you save, invest, hah. Don’t worry. I will give it back to you when you are old enough. Selina: When can you give it back to us? Terry: I know. 55岁。 Mom: Terry，you think you very funny, is it? Stop talking nonsense. Ai, girl, do you really think it that ai suitable for your room, huh? Don’t you think that this is much nicer? See, ai, make of cane, na. Selina: Mom, I thought you see that I can decorate my own room in anyway I want? I want to try this one. I don’t like that one, that’s old-fashioned. Mom: Yes, yes. Selina: So can I do it in my own way, please? Mom: I know. Whatever I say you won’t like it. But one day you will appreciate it. This is for your own good. Trust me, hah!
