RE: Learn Tagalog - Lesson 1 (Basic Greetings)

in #languages8 years ago

Just a little tip guys, " ikinagagalak " is no longer used,not in the last 40 years.Majority of tagalog-speaking Filipinos now usesTag-lish, a combination of Tagalog and English. Before in our Filipino subject in school,root words of the language was being taught but not necessarily used nor applicable in daily conversations.
Good effort @expatlove

@immarojas, good point. I think I've heard it used a couple of times, though...or maybe I was dreaming. Anyway, I should probably do a separate post on Filipino English. For example, my asawa always tells me to "open the light" or "close the light." When I first got here, I was like, "Huh? What?" Now I say it myself. :-)

Lolsss one word means a lot of things. Am living with visaya people, some words are in filipino yet mean different things. Have fun!
