Speak / Say: This is similar to “hear/listen” (#20 above). There is ONE word in Chinese for this: (说 Shuō).

E. View: This is similar to “look” or “see.” It can be a verb, but it can also be a noun. As a verb, it can mean “to look at” or “to have a particular attitude or way of considering something.”– This overlook is a great place to view the valley below. (to look at) Witnessing many Chinese governmental bodies and language organizations trying to eradicate Chinglish, Radtke said he thinks it's because China wants its opinions to be heard and its culture to be recognized globally. Yamuna Kachru and Cecil L. Nelson (2006), World Englishes in Asian Contexts. Hong Kong University Press, p. 157. Chinglish refers to spoken or written English that is influenced by the Chinese language. It is usually applied to ungrammatical or nonsensical English in Chinese contexts, and it can present itself phonetically, grammatically, lexically and logically. Jo's story is definitely more dramatic than my story growing up in the UK but it was still relatable in some degree. I don't think I know any Asian who has grown up here who doesn't have some sort of story about bullying or feeling out of place.I see signs with 'Save water, you are the best' on them many times when I go to the toilet in Beijing, but in my home country, Britain, we would never say that. Instead, we would just say 'Please save water, thank you,'" Bromage said. "I love the seemingly Chinglish expression more. How wonderful life is when someone tells me I am the best every time I go to the toilet. I even have the urge to say, 'Thanks sign. I am the best. Yay!'" Gurdeep was a bit weird, I wonder if the girl herself noticed or not. :P I had a big laugh though how she grew up and turned out to be. Exam: This is a large test that covers multiple units of study. Many classes include two exams per semester. A mid-term exam (期中考) (at the middle of the semester) and a final exam (期末考) (at the end of the semester). Depending on the course, many final exams in US high schools weigh 20% of the final grade for that semester. When I took history classes at the College of William and Mary, it was normal for one-third of the grade to be the mid-term exam, one-third was a paper, and one-third was the final exam (sometimes just called “the final.”)

At the phonological level, Chinglish does not differentiate between various vowel qualities because they don't exist in Chinese. As a result, there is no contrast between the two sounds for Chinglish speakers. For example, cheap and chip would be the same pronunciation. Another phonological feature is that speakers are unaware of the "graduation" [40] of words which are said in different tones depending on the context. The word for is stressed and said differently in the phrases "what is it for?" and "this is for you." To a Chinglish speaker, the two are the same. Chinglish speakers use Chinese phonological units to speak English, and retain the syllable timing of Chinese in place of the stress timing of English which together gives them a notable accent.

Crazy prepositions (介詞).These are the little words that show relationships, such as: in, under, below, on top of, between, next to, in front of, etc. Read/Look/See/Watch/View— This is another example where you have one Chinese word (看), but English has several words to express this. These words all involve receiving input and images from the eyes, which then go to the brain. However, these words also involve some differences, which I will try to explain, with sample sentences for each. Maurice Freedman (1957, 1970).
