2018/19 Richarlison

[Kaiser Soysauce]

You learnt Malay when everyone speaks English ?

I can understand people doing it in China but in Malaysia...

I worked in a country where malay was the 1st language. It would've been an insult if I expected everyone to speak English for my benefit. Not to mention ignorant. How can brits bang on about foreigners adapting our culture and language if we can't be arsed to do the same.

Maybe he is not academic.

Not everyone finds it easy to learn a new language.

Indeed, count me in that category

I know about enough French to order a cheese sandwich and ask where the train station is, and that was after 5 years learning it at secondary school

@nosejam bore witness to me trying to speak Italian once as well. It wasn't pretty lol

So if you moved to singapore would you learn Mandarin + Malay with a sprinkle of hokkien?

Seeing as they are the local dialects...

Or just speak English...

 

[Nyhus]

No, that would just be nonsensical.

An oxymoron is a phrase which contains self contradictory words.

For example, the term “friendly fire” used to describe soldiers in an army shooting their own men by mistake.

Like there is owt “friendly” about being killed by “fire” from your own fellows.....you are every bit as dead as if the enemy had shot you

In this case we have “deliberate ignorance”........that is an oxymoron because if you are ignorant of sommat it is because you do not know about it and you cannot deliberately not know about a thing.

And if you do know of sommat’s existence but deliberately choose to remain uninformed about it, then you are no longer ignorant of said existence, just wilfully remaining uninformed.

Hey, I learnt something! Thanks for clearing it up.

Why are you being argumentative? I simply stated it's worth making the effort, especially if you are living in a country where the 1st language isn't your own. With regards to Singapore, I wouldn't live there if you paid me lol. It's effectively a floating city. But if I did, I would make an effort nonetheless. But that's just me. I'm not a lazy [Poor language removed]....

 

[Frang]

Will you be too?

what on earth ?

 

[Barnfred 55]

Oops. Sorry.

I was looking for the Richarlison thread.

 

[sageyefc]

Some of you animals don't deserve him

 

[kizzi]

Richarlison with another great defensive effort

 

[bol-uk]

He’s lucky he scores cos he can’t do anything else very well at all

I’ll take his goals like

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Found Lukaku's first touch.

 

[toffeejack]

again, one rule for us, another for the top 6. As if that's not worse than richarlison's headbutt.

 

[cronullasharks]

Should have killed the game off if he could control a ball
