  First of all english is not our main language , but most of us do know how to speak english , but we tend to use those words like what u said , "leh , loh , lah" etc etc. and that is what we call singlish. I hope this give u a better understanding of singapore. every country got different culture and style. And this is our singaporean culture and style. And as for italian , we are totaly different from them , in terms of culture and style. So yeah , i hope u get what i mean. and btw where do you come from?

  They are just for emphasis.
  "I see leh and meh all the time, leh.
  "I see leh and meh all the time, mon.
  "I see leh and meh all the time, you know.
  
  Singapore do not have a main language, like English is for Australia.
  But has four official languages. English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil.
  
  We have our own pidgin English called Singlish.
  "Cannot say one, meh?" <"You mean, I shouldn't mention it?">
