The Complete Eh, Goondu!

The Complete Eh, Goondu! - Thryft
The Complete Eh, Goondu! - Thryft

For Singlish enthusiasts and language learners.

The Complete Eh, Goondu! is a must-read for anyone fascinated with Singapore's unique patois, Singlish. Sylvia Toh's books crystalize many of the words and phrases that form the language and provide an entertaining and informative read for those looking to enhance their language skills or gain insight into the Singaporean culture. The book's greatest feature is its ability to make Singlish accessible and approachable to a wider audience, making it an essential addition to any language lover's library.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Sylvia Toh's bestselling Eh, Goodu! and Lagi Goodu! appeared in 1982 and 1986 and famously crystallised many of the words and phrases which form Singapore's expressive patois, Singlish. This "vernacular" is now a subject of serious study as well as controversy and is often an ever-evolving feature of Singaporean identity. These two publications have now been made available again in this welcome 2010 single-volume reissue.
