“Unlocking Singapore: 10 Singlish Secrets that Will Transform Any Expat into a Local!”
6) Got heart
‘Got heart’ is a phrase that resonates deeply with me because it’s not just about understanding Singaporean slang, but about appreciating the spirit of the people here.
In Singlish, when someone says you ‘got heart’, it means you’re courageous or you’ve shown great effort. It can be used to acknowledge someone who’s overcome a challenge or done something commendable.
So if you’re an expat who’s made an effort to adapt to the local culture, learn the language, and embrace the Singaporean way of life, then you truly ‘got heart’. And trust me, nothing will make you feel more Singaporean than that.
