3 Funny Stories About English Communication Problems

Hi guys my name is F@nny. Welcome to this series on communication problems.

Hai semua nama saya F@nny.

Selamat datang ke siri masalah komunikasi ini.

And in this video, I'm gonna talk to you about the importance of pronunciation in English.

Dan dalam video ini, saya akan bercakap dengan anda tentang kepentingan sebutan dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Especially the difference between long sounds and short sounds.

Terutamanya perbezaan antara bunyi panjang dan bunyi pendek. kenapa?

Why?

Because in English there are a lot of words that are almost the same

Kerana dalam bahasa Inggeris terdapat banyak perkataan yang hampir sama

except that one has a long sound, one has a short sound.

kecuali satu mempunyai bunyi yang panjang, satu mempunyai bunyi yang pendek.

And they have completely different meaning.

Dan mereka mempunyai makna yang sama sekali berbeza.

...you know... depending on the length of the sound.

... anda tahu ... bergantung pada panjang bunyi.

So let me just give you a simple example.

Jadi biar saya berikan satu contoh mudah.

If you say, "beach".

Jika anda berkata, "pantai".

You know what a beach is right? You go on holiday. You like going to the beach.

Anda tahu apa itu pantai kan? Awak pergi bercuti. Anda suka pergi ke pantai.

And does not have the same meaning as b!tch.

Dan tidak mempunyai maksud yang sama dengan b!tch.

And you know forgive me for saying the word but and...

Dan awak tahu maafkan saya kerana menyebut perkataan itu tetapi dan...

It doesn't have the same meaning.

Ia tidak mempunyai maksud yang sama.

And it's actually a very rude word,

Dan ia sebenarnya perkataan yang sangat kasar,

so you should be very careful.

jadi anda harus berhati-hati.

And... I have a story about that which is quite funny.

Dan... Saya ada cerita tentang perkara yang agak kelakar.

It wasn't funny at the time but now it's funny actually.

Masa tu tak kelakar tapi sekarang kelakar sebenarnya.

And when I taught English in France,

Dan apabila saya mengajar bahasa Inggeris di Perancis,

I had a student once in my classroom, and you know I was explaining ..ummm.. I think

saya pernah mempunyai seorang pelajar di dalam kelas saya, dan anda tahu saya sedang menerangkan ..ummm.. Saya rasa

you know some grammar or something.

anda tahu beberapa tatabahasa atau sesuatu.

And he was clearly distracted.

Dan dia jelas terganggu.

So I got really angry and I said, "Hey! What are you doing?"

Jadi saya sangat marah dan saya berkata, "Hei! Apa yang awak buat?"

And he said, "Oh oh madam I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm searching my sh!t."

Dan dia berkata, "Oh oh puan saya minta maaf. Saya minta maaf saya sedang mencari sh!t saya."

Umm... so two mistakes. First mistake - he forgot the preposition 'for'.

Umm... jadi dua kesilapan. Kesilapan pertama - dia terlupa kata depan 'untuk'.

Ok. So 'search for'.

Okey. Jadi 'cari'.

But that's ok. I understand that.

Tapi tak apa. Saya faham bahawa.

But he said, "sh!t". And he actually meant 'sheet'.

Tetapi dia berkata, "sh!t". Dan sebenarnya dia maksudkan 'helaian'.

- for you know a piece of paper.

- kerana anda tahu sehelai kertas.

I didn't get it.

Saya tidak faham.

And I got really angry, you know.

Dan saya benar-benar marah, anda tahu.

And he didn't understand why I was getting angry.

Dan dia tidak faham kenapa saya marah.

And I said, "You can't say that word," you know.

Dan saya berkata, "Anda tidak boleh menyebut perkataan itu," anda tahu.

And what does he even mean?

Dan apa yang dia maksudkan?

"Searching your sh!t." I mean that's getting really weird.

"Searching your sh!t." Maksud saya ia semakin pelik.

And and so then he understand he was like, "No, no, no."

Dan dan kemudian dia faham dia seperti, "Tidak, tidak, tidak."

I mean, you know, he showed me a piece of paper.

Maksud saya, anda tahu, dia menunjukkan saya sekeping kertas.

As I said, "That's not 'sh!t', that's 'sheet'. Okay.

Seperti yang saya katakan, "Itu bukan 'sh!t', itu 'sheet'. Okay.

So yeah I think he got really stressed out because he didn't know why I was getting angry.

Jadi ya, saya rasa dia benar-benar tertekan kerana dia tidak tahu mengapa saya marah.

And I didn't know what he was talking about.

Dan saya tidak tahu apa dia. Jadi

So I think you should really - you should be careful.

saya fikir anda harus benar-benar - anda harus berhati-hati

Because you know, - long sound, short sound -

kerana anda tahu, - bunyi panjang, bunyi pendek -

It's sometimes it's a different word with a completely different meaning.

Ia kadang-kadang perkataan yang berbeza dengan makna yang sama sekali tidak

And if the word that you're saying is rude, is rude, then, you know, it's quite annoying.

sopan . adalah kasar, maka, anda tahu, ia agak menjengkelkan,

So just be careful, okay?

Hello, guys. my name is Fanni. Welcome to this series on communication problems.

And in this video, I want to talk to you about communication problems that occur

video,

saya ingin bercakap dengan anda tentang masalah komunikasi yang berlaku

when we use different kinds of English because as you know we don't have the

apabila kami menggunakan pelbagai jenis bahasa Inggeris

kerana seperti yang anda tahu kami tidak mempunyai bahasa Inggeris yang sama di UK dan di AS, contohnya.

same English in the UK and in the US, for example.

So some Americans don't understand me when I speak English

Jadi, sesetengah orang Amerika tidak memahami saya apabila saya bercakap bahasa Inggeris

because I don't have the same pronunciation and because I don't always use the same words.

kerana saya tidak mempunyai sebutan yang sama dan

kerana saya tidak selalu menggunakan perkataan yang sama.

Most of the time we do understand each other

Selalunya kita memahami antara satu sama lain

but sometimes we don't and it can be quite confusing at times.

tetapi kadangkala kita tidak faham dan kadangkala ia boleh mengelirukan.

For example, umm, to me there's a ground floor in a building.

Sebagai contoh, umm, bagi saya ada tingkat bawah dalam sebuah bangunan.

To an American person my ground floor is their first floor.

Bagi orang Amerika, tingkat bawah saya adalah tingkat pertama mereka.

So if I talk about the first floor, I don't mean the same floor as an American person.

Jadi jika saya bercakap tentang tingkat satu, saya tidak bermaksud lantai yang sama dengan orang Amerika.

So see it can get a bit confusing.

Jadi lihat ia boleh menjadi agak mengelirukan.

And talking about confusion, I have a story which is quite funny.

Dan bercakap tentang kekeliruan, saya mempunyai cerita yang agak lucu.

I was in college at the time and I was on the phone with an American friend

Saya berada di kolej pada masa itu dan saya berada di telefon dengan seorang rakan Amerika

and we talked you know for 20-25 minutes and

dan kami bercakap selama 20-25 minit dan

then we decide to go grab a drink together. So I'm like, "yeah we should we you know we

kemudian kami memutuskan untuk pergi minum bersama. Jadi saya seperti, "ya kita patut kita tahu kita

should go out and have a drink."

patut keluar dan minum."

And she's like, "Okay yeah sure. What a good idea." And then she says,

Dan dia seperti, "Okay yeah sure. Idea yang bagus." Dan kemudian dia berkata,

"Let me just put on some pants."

"Biar saya pakai seluar sahaja."

Now you have to know pants in the USA,

Sekarang anda perlu tahu seluar di Amerika Syarikat,

means like trousers.

bermaksud seperti seluar.

Okay your pants. Okay like these.

Okay seluar awak. Okay macam ni.

In British English, pants are underpants. Okay?

Dalam bahasa Inggeris Inggeris, seluar adalah seluar dalam. Baik?

So for me, when she says, "Let me put on some pants."

Jadi bagi saya, apabila dia berkata, "Izinkan saya memakai seluar."

I get this image of my friend talking to me for 20 minutes naked.

Saya mendapat imej rakan saya bercakap dengan saya selama 20 minit dalam keadaan telanjang.

You know with no underpants on.

Anda tahu tanpa seluar dalam.

So I was quite shocked and I said,

Jadi saya agak terkejut dan saya berkata,

"What?"

"Apa?"

She said, "Yeah, yeah. Just grab some pants.

Dia berkata, "Ya, ya. Hanya ambil seluar.

I said, "What do you mean pants?"

Saya berkata, "Apa maksud awak seluar?"

She said, "Oh no no no, I mean trousers."

Dia berkata, "Oh tidak, tidak, saya maksudkan seluar."

And then we just laughed so hard because you know

Dan kemudian kami hanya ketawa terbahak-bahak kerana anda tahu

for a minute there, there was a just a lot of confusion.

untuk minit di sana, terdapat banyak kekeliruan

Um, so yeah, depending on where you come from, I think you shouldn't underestimate ...um..

Um, jadi ya, bergantung pada dari mana anda datang, saya fikir anda tidak boleh memandang rendah ...um..

you know the differences. And you have to be careful sometimes with

anda tahu perbezaannya dan kadang-kadang anda perlu berhati-hati

the words that you choose. You know? So...

kata-kata yang anda pilih. Anda tahu? Jadi

Yeah that's something that can happen. So you see even native speakers sometimes

itu sesuatu yang boleh berlaku Jadi anda melihat walaupun penutur asli kadang-kadang ..

..um.. don't really understand each other.

tidak benar-benar memahami satu sama lain

That happens as well.

ingin memberitahu anda.

So yeah that's what I wanted to tell you.

Hello, guys. My name is fanny.

Nama

And in this video, I want to talk to you about communication problems.

saya adalah fanny.

And when you're an English teacher working abroad or even if you've traveled,

Dan apabila anda seorang guru Bahasa Inggeris yang bekerja di luar negara atau walaupun anda pernah melancong,

you do know that there are often communication problems.

anda tahu bahawa selalunya terdapat masalah komunikasi.

And from my experience as a teacher, I think these problems and often arise because

Dan dari pengalaman saya sebagai seorang guru, saya fikir masalah ini dan sering timbul kerana

people try and translate their mother tongue into English.

orang cuba dan menterjemahkan bahasa ibunda mereka ke dalam bahasa Inggeris.

And my main piece of advice as a teacher, to you, is don't do that.

Dan nasihat utama saya sebagai seorang guru, kepada anda, jangan buat begitu.

Don’t try and translate.

Jangan cuba dan terjemahkan.

Because every language has their own words

Kerana setiap bahasa mempunyai perkataan

and expressions you know…and I know that when you're not that fluent,

dan ungkapan mereka sendiri yang anda tahu…dan saya tahu bahawa apabila anda tidak begitu fasih,

it's reassuring to use your own language and translate it.

ia meyakinkan untuk menggunakan bahasa anda sendiri dan menterjemahkannya.

Unfortunately, it doesn't, it's not going to work out.

Malangnya, ia tidak, ia tidak akan berjaya.

And, umm, For example, let's just and take an example.

Dan, umm, Sebagai contoh, mari kita ambil contoh.

I taught…umm.. English in France for a few years.

Saya mengajar…umm.. Bahasa Inggeris di Perancis selama beberapa tahun.

And French has a lot of expressions and we for example say, umm,

Dan bahasa Perancis mempunyai banyak ungkapan dan kami misalnya berkata, umm,

“To get a blue.” So that's the expression in French.

"Untuk mendapatkan warna biru." Jadi itulah ungkapan dalam bahasa Perancis.

“Avoir un bleu.” And that means ‘to get bruised’.

“Elakkan un bleu.” Dan itu bermakna 'mendapat lebam'.

Okay so ‘a bruise’ in French is literally ‘a blue’.

Okey jadi 'lebam' dalam bahasa Perancis secara literal adalah 'biru'.

So.. but, you can't say, “I got a blue.” If you say, “I got a blue,”

Jadi.. tetapi, anda tidak boleh berkata, "Saya mendapat warna biru." Jika anda berkata, "Saya mendapat warna biru,"

you… you're actually translating the exact words from French into English.

anda… anda sebenarnya menterjemah perkataan yang tepat daripada bahasa Perancis ke dalam bahasa Inggeris.

And I'm not gonna understand what you mean.

Dan saya tidak akan faham apa yang awak maksudkan.

And I've had people say that.

Dan saya pernah ada orang berkata begitu.

I've had someone one day, umm, say “oh I got a blue,”

Saya mempunyai seseorang pada suatu hari, umm, katakan "oh saya mendapat biru,"

and I obviously didn't know what that meant.

dan saya jelas tidak tahu apa maksudnya.

So…

Jadi…

And that is something that you should avoid doing okay?

Dan itu adalah sesuatu yang anda harus elakkan melakukan okay?

Um… and I got a story about that. For example, umm,

Um… dan saya mendapat cerita tentang itu. Sebagai contoh, umm,

I was correcting an essay once because I worked in a high school.

saya membetulkan esei sekali kerana saya bekerja di sekolah menengah.

And some … this student had written you know an essay in English.

Dan beberapa ... pelajar ini telah menulis anda tahu sebuah esei dalam bahasa Inggeris.

I think she was describing a holiday or something.

Saya rasa dia sedang menggambarkan percutian atau sesuatu.

And, umm, at some point I can read,

Dan, umm, pada satu ketika saya boleh membaca,

“Oh on the last day, I was so sad and because

"Oh pada hari terakhir, saya sangat sedih dan kerana

I was walking in the garden and suddenly I fell and broke my face.”

saya berjalan di taman dan tiba-tiba saya jatuh dan patah muka saya."

And it honestly took me a good 10 minutes to understand what she meant.

Dan secara jujurnya saya mengambil masa 10 minit untuk memahami maksudnya.

And it's actually because there's an expression in French,

Dan ini sebenarnya kerana terdapat ungkapan dalam bahasa Perancis,

"suis cassé la figure" Which is literally, “to break your face,”

"suis cassé la figure" Yang secara harfiah bermaksud, "mematahkan muka anda,"

and it means to hurt yourself. And so, she wanted to say, “I was walking

dan ia bermaksud mencederakan diri sendiri.

Oleh itu, dia ingin berkata,

in the garden, suddenly I fell and hurt myself,”

"Saya berjalan di taman, tiba-tiba saya terjatuh dan mencederakan diri sendiri,"

But she translated French into English

Tetapi dia menterjemah bahasa Perancis ke dalam bahasa Inggeris.

You know… Thinking umm, and I guess you know we all think that.

Awak tahu...

Berfikir umm, dan saya rasa awak tahu kita semua fikir begitu.

We all think, oh my language is the reference.

Kita semua fikir, oh bahasa saya adalah rujukan.

Ia adalah standard dan setiap bahasa lain meniru bahasa saya.

It's the standard and every other language imitates mine.

And just you know I can simply translate.

Dan hanya anda tahu saya boleh menterjemah.

But, unfortunately, you can't.

Tetapi, malangnya, anda tidak boleh.

So as a teacher, again, with years of experience, umm please don't try and do that.

Jadi sebagai seorang guru, sekali lagi, dengan pengalaman bertahun-tahun, umm tolong jangan cuba dan buat begitu.

Don't translate your mother tongue. You just have to learn as much as you can.

Jangan terjemahkan bahasa ibunda anda.

Anda hanya perlu belajar seberapa banyak yang anda boleh.

Watch films. Read books.

Tonton filem. Membaca buku.

Try and understand how people talk in English. You know the expressions that they use,

Cuba dan fahami cara orang bercakap dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Anda tahu ungkapan yang mereka gunakan, ingat dan gunakannya.

remember them and use them.

But don't translate your mother tongue into English.

Tetapi jangan terjemahkan bahasa ibunda anda ke dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Okay?

Baik?
