Oh Jimmy don't get them wrong. every country has their own unique way of communication. Malay/ Chinese dialect in Malaysia is a good example.
You understand i understand then ok. If You don't, it will be fun to learn new knowledge |

malaysian cantonese influence by multiple local dialect like hakka and hokkien
thats why sounds different compared to pure HK canto, heck even HK canto is different from Shenzhen Canto which is seperated just by a bridge |

some of the stuff are got historical reason why they are called that way
ice tea for example back then, kopitiam would order huge ass ice block, shave them to make iced tea, which in a form looks like snow, so they call it xu cha, however with the intro of cheap ice cubes where they would spend it on just plain water thus come the term peng shui wait till you discover why hokkien for raining sounds the way it sounds |

The most stark contrast is $$$
Here we call it "Lui" transliteration from Duit. Proper cantonese is Chin. A lot of subtle difference la, but Malaysian generally very flexible can mix match and guess the meaning. Our education system also encourage a lot of guess work in communication, we are moulded to conform to others instead of taking the effort to use the "correct" way. |
