What is Chinglish?
1.
Speaking both English and Chinese in one's sentences.
Example of a sentence in Chinglish:
"At K-mart, I buy -hen duo- clothes."
Notes:
"hen duo" means very many in Chinese. Also note the grammar error.

2.
A style of speaking English by native born Chinese people, that is formed by the natural differences in our languages. Certain fundamental differences are difficult to overcome, even if the speaker is highly educated. Simple things can come into play, from the fact that the Chinese word for he and she is the same word, "TA", to the lack of any "V" sound in their entire language.
Interesting side note: the word "usually" seems to be the most difficult word for a Mandarin Chinese speaker to say in English.
English - My husband (he) took me to a restaurant last night.
Chinglish - My husband, last night she take me to restaurant.
English - Hey, we shouldn't buy a sportscar, we should buy a mini-van.
Chinglish - Hi, we should not buy sportscar, we should buy mini-wan.

Chinglish is an alternate nonsensical linguistic style precipitated by the intermingling of the English language with Asian DNA.
The result is often a confused collection of words sounding not unlike Yoda given the excessive utilization of anastrophe.
English: Hello Richard, let us meet at the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 5:30 this afternoon?
Chinglish: Hello Richard, me and you meet at Bridge Harbour Sydney yesterday at 5:30pm?
