Rainguage is all about love!

Humans, i'm back again with the 2nd post about Rainguage.
This time i am going to add in what is inside Rainguage ^^
So for those of you who don't know what is Rainguage YET, please read my 1st post. Thank you.

1.THE APPLICATION OF HUMAN INTO YOU LIFE:
-This is started by LALA and being spread out among us now become very common in our TT gang already. It is actually the changing of any words related to mankind into human in your conversation; for chinese it will be "人->人类" .. For e.g :

"That GUY is very stupid!" -> " That HUMAN is very stupid"
"大家,我们赶快走吧!" ->"人类们~我们赶快走吧!"

If you still do not understand you can leave me a message, i will provide you with more information.

2.MANDARIN ACCENT
OK. Now this part of the Rainguage is about mandarin accent that i find quite interesting from the humans around me. This time i'm going to say about 2 kind of humans with their "interesting" accent.

First, is the humans from PENANG. Humans in penang speak Hokkien in common. After some time the pitching,style and phrases that is essential in Hokkien eventually added into their mandarin and made it very weird at first time i listen to them. i can't provide you with a very clear e.g but if you met someone from penang try pay attention to some of the words they said like:
-"Penang" the pitching in "nang" will be higher.
-"怪" this one is most obvious one. They will pitch it from low to high exponentially.

There are many more in their accent, so if you have friends from penang try to note those things i said. Note: this can be only applied on the chinese humans who live there for long time.

Second, is the humans from KELANTAN. Kelantan people also speaks Hokkien. But their Hokkien is quite different from penang, i couldn't tell how because i'm not good in it. But their mandarin accent is superd to me. In their mandarin, when they want to emphasis on some of the words they will make in longer and stronger than usual and lower in pitching. And throughout their conversation, their speaking in most of the words i find it a bit like duck me haha and got the sound of "ee or aaa" . This time i really don't know how to provide e.g to you, but try notice when they say "sibek". It has the strongest smell of their accent.

In conclusion, there are many other different mandarin accents from different parts of malaysia.I find it very interesting to learn about the accents and how it works, and be apart of their culture. So if you also find this interesting or have learned some other different and fun MANDARIN accent please tell me, and let's add it into rainguage.
