Editing Manglish (section)

==Miscellaneous==
{{unreferenced section|date=February 2012}}
"There is"/"there are" and "has"/"have" are both expressed using got, so that sentences can be translated in either way back into British / American English. This is equivalent to the Chinese 有 yǒu (to have):
*''Got question?'' – Is there a question? / Do you have a question?
*''Yesterday ar, East Coast Park got so many people!'' – There were so many people at East Coast Park yesterday. / East Coast Park had so many people [there] yesterday.
*''This bus got air-con or not?'' – Is there air-conditioning on this bus? / Does this bus have air-conditioning?
*''Where got!?'' – lit. Where is there [this]?, also more loosely, What are you talking about? or Where did you get that idea?; generic response to any accusation. Derived from Malay sentence "Mana ada" – 'Mana' (Where) 'ada' (got) and also from Chinese sentence "哪里有" – '哪里' (Where) '有' (got).

Can is used extensively as both a question particle and an answer particle. The negative is cannot:
*''Gimme lah, ok or not?'' – (Give it to me, OK?)
*''Can!'' – (Sure!)
*''Can!'' – (Yes, that is possible)
*''Cannot.'' – (No way.)

===Pronouns===
There is a tendency to drop referential pronouns (I, you) in Manglish. This is due to direct translations of Chinese and Malay in which it is unnecessary. For example, "you" and "I" in the following sentences is omittable.<ref name="Lee 2015 p15" >{{harvp|Lee|2015|p=15}}</ref>

*"(you) never do anything right" (None of the things that you do is correct.)
*"(you) always also cannot, cannot, cannot" (You always prohibit (me) from doing something)
*"你可以做这个吗？" (Can you do this?)
:"可以。" ((I) can.)
*"Kau boleh buat ini ke?" (Can you do this?)
:"Tak boleh." ((I) cannot.)

===Noun phrases===
There is a tendency to use plural forms for uncountable nouns such as 'staffs', 'equipments', 'informations', 'criterias' and 'phenomenons'. Additionally, some articles are often dropped.<ref name="Lee 2015 p15" />
