Common Filipino Terms (A Little Guide)

[Avegaille]

What? Can't I make one? ._. Well, of course I can, since I am natually Filipino... ._.

First, I need to clarify something. Filipino and Tagalog are NOT THE SAME. Yes, I have learned this recently. Even if Filipino is derived from Tagalog, it's not the same. Reasons, because Filipino is also derived from Spanish and English... so you might say it's a combination of the three. Pure Tagalog won't have any English terms AT ALL. So... [/end of rant]

Anyways, let's get started with some simple terms... =P

Standard Phrases:

Hello - Hello ... don't ask... >.>
How are you? - Kamusta ka na?
I'm fine - Mabuti naman...
What's your name? - Ano ang pangalan mo?
Good Morning - Magandang Umaga
Good Afternoon - Magandang Hapon
Good-bye - Paalam

I - Ako
You - Ikaw
We - Tayo
He/She - Siya*


*in everyday conversation here, the word "siya" is sometimes used to refer to an object... ._.

Numbers (This is more of Tagalog, so yeah... what preceeds it is the Filipino spelling derived from Spanish)

One - Isa - Uno
Two - Dalawa - Dos
Three - Tatlo - Tres
Four - Apat - Kwatro
Five - Lima - Singko
Six - Anim - Seis

Some other things:

Mga - usually optional, but it is a pluralizing word. For example, "kids" in Filipino is "mga bata".
Hindi - literally means "No" in English, but they can also be used for the word, "not". Like: "I'm not allowed" is "Hindi ako pwede."

Japanese Words that mean another thing in Filipino:

Baka - In Japanese, this means "stupid/idiot", but it Filipino, it means, "cow or beef".
Shabu - In Japanese, I think this means... cooked meat or something (don't know what it is exactly), but in Filipino, it means "Illegal drugs", so be careful... =P

(Might add more as I learn more things...)

Anyone else who wishes to help me out with this might do so... =3
