Engrish Test

Everyone's talking about Singapore English, from our Prime Minister to pop diva Beyonce. The sorry state of Singapore speech - are we beyond hope? Or is it just a couple of tricky words that trip our tongue? Klik.TV spends an afternoon in Singapore's Orchard Road to suss out the truth. Take the test yourself and see how you match up with the average Singaporean!

Since when do Americans say it like that?  I'm American and I say lonjoray

[ToBeAVampire101]

Only one person pronounced "lingerie" properly. The rest sounded like "laundry."

[MegaQuackHat]

I'm British and I pronounce "lingerie" lawn-juh-ray

@rusty0010 I think you have gotten British and Australian mixed up. I've only heard that a handful of times and that was from American comedians mimicking the Australians.

[rusty0010]

@vampirememe You said you were british and I made a typical british comment.

[vampirememe]

@rusty0010 Huh?! Not to sound rude but I'm a little confused. That sentence had no connection to my comment.
