* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- the edible fruit of Spondias dulcis, a tree native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. The fruits are egg-shaped and around 6 - 9 cm in length, and come in bunches of a dozen or more on a single stalk. They are good source of vitamins A, B, and C. They may be eaten raw, but are also commonly processed by pressing into a juice. The tree's leaves are sometimes used culinarily to impart a sour taste to dishes.[1][2][3]
Other kinds of fruits will be planted next year, including avocado, duku, langsat, rambai and kedondong.
