Tagalog to English - 31

johnwjr7 (54)in #philippines • 9 years ago

Inspired by @ghasemkiani who is showing the Persian language, I thought I'd share some words in Tagalog (Ta-ga-lug) which is the main language of the Philippines.

I do not speak Tagalog, but I do have a list of many words that I will share with you. I will share 4 words per day until my list is complete.

To aid you in learning, you can HEAR the Filipino Abakada (Alphabet) at this site: https://www.tagaloglang.com/abakada-tagalog-alphabet/.

Unlike in English, there is only one way to pronounce each letter so it should not be too hard to figure it out.

Special Edition today requested by @pinay. Remember, I do not speak Tagalog, so I had to find the answers to these elsewhere. I hope I got them all correct.

utang - credit/debit
hingi - ask
bigay - give
tapon - throw away
