Sorry, couldn't help to make a thread about this here.

I don't want to make it appear as if I'm making fun of her, but it's nothing meant to harm. My grandmother, a 69-year-old fresh out of Shanghai, China doesn't have much English beyond "yes," "thank you," "hello," "I don't know," "bus," "peach," and some other basic words.

I'll ask her to say some words like "what" or "more" and she won't understand it. She'll say something like "budong" (I don't understand in Mandarin) and "shuma" (what?) and then that word. Like for example: "shuma what, shuma more-a?" She'll also add sounds like "uh" and "ah" at the end of the English word. Like, for example in this case: "I don't know-a," "eat-a," "good-uh!" and my favorite, "stop-a-luh" (yes, that's really her trying to say "stop" but again with the redundant vowel.)

Also, she has a very deep, high-pitched voice when she talks, and it's very loud. She CANNOT be quiet, ever. She also sounds like she has an Italian accent sometimes. One time I told her to say "hot bite" and she was like "hot-a, biiite-a!"

As much as possible until your ass explodes from misuse of fireworks at a Fourth of July event.
