My guess.

- Banana and no banana (i don't think other Chinese communities in other countries have this distinction)

- Special words such as "lui" for money, "ba sat" for market...

Any others?

Chinese in Malaysia = lame

can speak malay

U use the word tapau when u want bungkus?

diversity?

canto for banana and rain.

Agree...

Then, "pa nai" as in clever (lek in proper Cantonese).

roti = bread
kopi = coffee
gostan = reverse

Singaporean use that also

skin kaler is darker

Chinese in Malaysia vs Chinese in HK or Taiwan?

lala culture!

i kinda read this same thread like before...

HK ppl pantang the word tapao, avoid using that word when u want to take away foods

taiwanese mandarin got many loan words from japanese

American citizens who are of Chinese descents are from which part of China?

When i am in HK, i use "ngoi mai".

In HK, they call lemon tea as "ling cha" (which is shortform of lingmon (lemon)).

In Malaysia, i think people call it as "ling mon cha".

Tong San

AGREE

One have gf, other one have no gf or gf is in Malaysia working.

They're darker than those in China. Due to all the sun.

There are banana also from other country.
Those grown in western country might not be though chinese.

use "lik zau" better, literally - take away

ppl here also use ling cha

Some Chinese can be quite dark (even in China), most probably because of the work.

Well, sometimes, i can see a few Malaysian Chinese which fairer skin although majority of them are a bit darker than similar ones in HK or Taiwan (PRC too!)

in Malay, it is Mata-mata... so become "mata" in Cantonese...

paiseh?

Only Malaysian chinese use lan ciou

Malaysian chinese eat LESS dog

they face dog everyday.

Don't start this kind of bullshit, fag.

Your english is worse than a 5 year old. And thats gonna hurt.
You should have pay more attention in class or get a chip in your brain.

i dont want to generalise

Nope. The Chinese in Malaya fought hard against the Japanese in WW2.

del.

i think we're more bearable. but we do have our own annoying sides. in fact, china chinese are getting more modern minded these days

"suma"

chinese from another country no got lacist, only malaysia got so many ppl lacist, chinese from another country not much praudi, only in malaysia many many peraudi.....

for me.. i usually differentiate it when Chinese speak chinese be it mandarin or other dialect

the mainland one.. usually sounds harsh...

Msian chinese abit soft.. i dont know.. that's how i differentiate it for hearing usually

they not able to appreciate the good thing they have now and keep asking for more.

sounds harsh but no lacist

Many Malaysian Chinese often directly use English term to describe something.

For example, most call it "broadband" as in English.

In HK for example, they call it "fun pan" which is the actual term for broadband in Chinese.

Chinese in Malaysia = Fail..

after stay here so long still can't speak Bahasa properly.. can get nationality although can't speak bahasa..haizzz

compare to chinese in indonesia.. they speak indonesia like others..

Almost like Singaporean, kiasu.

Because its Malaysia not worth to die for, while they tax us & price rising I'm done with it.

Please do not bring unrelated discussions to this thread.

Discuss how different is Malaysian Chinese compared to those in HK, Taiwan, China, Singapore or others.

Better than losing our mother language.

bcos they consider ur language = not worth learning?

Malay ah? Copy cat of indonesia and our word also

chinese outside m'sia love their country

We say " MAI TAN " for bill in HK mean cursing ppl to die..

that why malaysian chinese failed.. compare to indonesian chinese

cainis in maresia can speak bahasa maresia and most of them is along.

In China, Taiwan and HK, they all pronounce English names based on Chinese character, sometimes, not only it might be strange, but also confusing.

Sheraton hotel for example, in Cantonese....."Hei lei tun"

Good ma. BM cannot translate also.

i know they doin it , coz they want to perserved their own language

still

guess our advantage is we are multilingual country

awww why all the hate, you must feel really miserable living in malaysia dont you, poor guy

malaysian chinese use rojak language

Very true, with this kinda gomen, who wanna die for? not like in german, their rich ppl pay millions to support their gomen when econ crisis, here ah, no way la

learning malay will be useful overseas? learn BM only stay at BM can use, coz it's Bahasa Malaysia, for malaysia use only

yea, the government are good and they appreciate their talents

I think i should shut down this thread.

Yeah, lots of idiots in this thread lol.

WERD.

the topic of interest is seriously going off thread...

but seriously there have been some really idiotic posts here which was uncalled for... especially the one who instigated those posts (not the TS)

it is Malaysia's diversity and acceptance which is the main strength of the nation... destroy that and you destroy Malaysia...

there is already a growing vacuum between the survivors and free-loaders of this country and if this continues... well i wish all the best especially to the free-loaders as you are the bulk

Cute

Japanese = Kawaii
Malay = Comel
Korean = gwiyowo


Cantonese = ?
Mandarin = ?
