Malaysian Mandarin
Are you sure about 不了? I'm pretty sure people say bàliǎo, which is 罷了. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:13, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * At least 不了 (bùliǎo) is what it sounds like to me when I talk to Malaysians. To me, that is a very distinctive feature of Malaysian Mandarin. I learnt 罷了 in school, though it's rarely used in Singapore, but it's pronounced bàle. The dog2 (talk) 05:41, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Any evidence of this 不了? I see 罷了 in many Malaysian video subtitles: — justin(r)leung { (t...) 12:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, maybe I misheard it then. I don't have the privilege of viewing subtitles when I am actually talking to Malaysians, but I definitely recognise the particle in the videos you posted. Go ahead and change it then, and I think we should probably add the Malaysian pronunciation of 罷了 to the entry. As I said, I would pronounce 罷了 as bàle and that is what we are taught in school in Singapore, so that might have been a source of the confusion, but it's extremely rare to hear a Singaporean using it, and it is usually a giveaway that the person is from China.
