How do you feel about your siblings?

‘ They give headaches lor. Next.

... ah, fine. Yes, I have my arguments with Malaysia. It’s hard not to, consider our proximity and shared histories for better and for worse. And I find it so ironic that they want my attention now after everything! I wish they would respect my boundaries.

But despite this, Malaysia is family, and I care for them as family should. There’s a lot of things we understand about each other, stemming from said proximity and shared histories... and I want to think that, no matter what happens in the future, it’s that shared understanding that will keep us close.

... ah, this is so paiseh lah... ’

mini guide to common singaporean/singlish terms when writing dialogue for hws singapore!

hope this might help for fic writers/comic creators! x-posted from twt and inspired by twt user spiltrosetea

lah/leh/lor  three of the most common suffixes used in singlish, often used in different contexts. ‘lah’ is more neutral, ‘leh’ has a more questioning tone, ‘lor’ has a resigned/annoyed tone to it eg. “I’m busy lah, so I can’t come. I didn’t know it was compulsory leh.”

jio/bojio jio = to invite someone out, bojio = often used as an annoyed expression for when friends forget to invite you to plans eg. “I’m going to jio Malaysia for dinner - wait you guys had dinner already? Bojio!”

sian/shiok sian = when you’re sick and tired of something. shiok = the opposite of sian, for when something is extremely pleasing (especially for food) eg. “The meeting overran for like an hour, damn sian.”/“The food is expensive, but it’s really shiok.”

shag shag = no, it doesn’t mean anything of a sexual nature like it does in english (though you could use this as a potential humorous misunderstanding if you’d like) - it means to be tired/exhausted eg. “I’m feeling damn shag from that run earlier.”

pon pon = to skip/play truant for something eg. “I’m really not feeling up to it, you wanna pon the meeting with me?”

alamak/suay alamak = exclamation of shock/surprise when something unpleasant happens out of the blue. suay = unlucky/unfortunate eg. “Alamak! I forgot my files at home, and I have to present later! Ugh, today damn suay.”

bo pian/tahan bo pian = usually said as an expression of resignation when you have no choice but to do something, or when something can’t be helped. tahan = to bear with something unpleasant eg. “Boss said I have to finish this by today, so I have to tahan lor. Bo pian lah.”

wah lau eh/cheebai/siam lah! wah lau eh = used interchangeably with ‘what the fuck’. cheebai = cunt (often paired with other terms to curse at people, like “chao cheebai” which is more vulgar.) siam = get out of the way eg. “Wah lau eh! Cheebai, learn to drive! Siam lah!”

kaypoh/kiasu kaypoh = busybody. kiasu = literally means ‘scared to lose’ - often in terms of a fear of missing out, or wanting to be better than everybody else eg. “Don’t be such a kaypoh lah. Everyone got the same amount, why are you being so kiasu?”

limpeh this one is a fun one. limpeh = smug way of referring to oneself in third person, insinuating that one is of a higher position than the other. eg. “Who are you calling short? Limpeh has a higher GDP than you!”
