[quote=SHESGOTTOBE,309822]Actually, I can't even call those phrases posted up there as Chinglish because they are all in English, not really a mixture of Chinese and English. I could be wrong but my guess is that they are literal, word for word translation (which is what you usually get when you use an online translator) which became 'murdered or bastardized English'. LOL!~ As for some bilinguals, we usually speak in the mixture of English and our native language casually. Example: Let's go. Nood na tayo (Translation: Let's go. Let's watch already.) Even Singaporeans and Malaysians do this.[/quote]
