Bilingual people tend to possess open-mindedness and excel in multitasking, effortlessly shifting attention between various tasks. And being able to speak 2 languages helps in other ways too…
In a recent viral TikTok video shared by @dhomecooked2020, a cashier at a restaurant in Taman Melawati can be seen conversing fluently in a different language with customers.
The Malay woman impressively converses in Chinese with customers visiting the shop. She seamlessly translates the orders into Malay when questioned by another staff who was recording the video.
“He ordered the fish and chicken. The customer mentioned how delicious the order was, as he had tried it before. Initially, he wanted nasi lemak, but unfortunately, we don’t have it here.”
In the video, it’s explained that the man she was conversing with in Chinese is originally from China.
“The customer even asked to take away all of the salted eggs they had.”
Netizens were impressed by the Malay woman’s proficiency in Chinese, sparking a flood of comments in the section as they shared their thoughts on the remarkable display.
“This is one of the 1.2 billion people who can speak fluent Chinese.”
“She’s not only pretty, but she also speaks fluent Chinese.”
“Learning an additional language is actually a great advantage. It doesn’t matter which language it is, it makes communication with people much easier.”
“That’s one of the benefits of being multilingual, you can easily communicate with people, especially when tourists visit our country. It’s quite an advantage. Kudos to the woman, she’s very sharp!”
