Jaja : "You wait here, I want to _____ the table."

Singaporeans are heavy users of pragmatic particles. These are words borrowed from mostly Southern Chinese dialects, notably Hokkien such as “ah”, “mah”, and “lor”.

Singaporeans express the subjects of the sentences. For example, “I still got a headache.”

Singlish speakers often omit conjunctions like "if" or "when" in sentences. For example, “Shout again, I go” (if).

Singlish users remove the verb “to be” from sentences such as “Your book there” (is). This language habit is derived from contracted Malay phrases.

Singlish borrows words from other languages, particularly Malay, Thailand and Chinese.
