my husband has a new dog last few weeks ago. he asked me on whats the tagalog word for dog, i answered him "aso". he also told me that it sounds like a bad word lol! then he told his dad the tagalog of dog and then from then on they named their new dog "ASO"

Poor dog he has a bad name in the USA but for us Filipinos the name ASO for a dog is so cute hahahaha

sis, are u sure hindi kulay blue new dog hubby mo? u can simply add "L"to make it "ASUL" or "ASOL" ..

hehe hindi po black yun aso nila half labrador and half retriever and his dad is the one who named the dog "aso" lol. i told my husband that here in phil. we like giving our pets with american names and its so funny that you named your dog "aso" lol but of course i understand that for them aso is a foreign name for them hehe.

I just remembered a few that my fiancee taught to me:

Gaya gaya ka

Pwede po kay Romi Lyn?

Here's my vocabulary I have learned from my wife:

Visayan/Cebuano

Gihigugma Kita (I love you)

Gimingaw ko nimo (I miss you)

Agay, akong lobot sakit (OUCH, my butt hurts!)

Palaaway (trouble maker) - my favorite word!

kapoy (tired)

Gutom (hungry)

Busog (full)

Pag Sure? Tambling ko! Sige go! (are you sure? Go for it! Okay, I'm going!)

Lamia ani oiii (Yummie, tastes good!)

Kauna pud! (Food again!)

Salamat Ginoo for the kaun (that's my personal blessing over the food)

asa (where)

akong baby mama (my baby mama)

Akuna gyud ni (That's me!)

Aja aja (Go, go) I think its a Korean expression

NGIT NGIT ANGLANGIT (not sure the spelling, but they love to laugh when I try to say it) I think it means something about the dark and something else obsurd....

Whewww!! That should be tough! Not simply tagalog but Bisayan, you're good! Ngit ngit ang langit...the clouds are dark?????

Heh. Reading this thread is so fun! My husband just can't get Tagalog right, though he so wants to learn. The words he can remember are, of course, the "bad" ones. P.I. was the first.

He actually got a phrasebook, which I don't think works that well... When he's in the mood, we have a Tagalog swapping thing in bed before we go to sleep. He usually starts with the "Sa-an po ang kubeta?"

You're from Cleveland, Ohio, my fiance's from there also. Too funny, of all the places "kubeta" type nya itanong, hahaha.

Actually, the office we file at is in Cleveland, we live about 40 minutes' drive away. But it's close enough! And yes, favorite niya iyan. Naniniguro lang siguro, so that if he needs it, he'll at least know how to ask for one! Hehe.

Aside from the usual kumusta ka, mabuti and mahal kita, I think my husband was a lot faster learning the following two Filipino words (1 in Ilocano - Northern Phils dialect). Not sure why but makes me laugh everytime he says it especially in not so applicable situations.

sungit (Tagalog/Ilocano) - means grumpy (which is most applicable for me sometimes ;-)

dugyot (Ilocano) - messy, untidy, cluttered (I usually tell him this everytime he leaves the bathroom sink with his shaving residues ;-)

Hehe. I just remembered one word my husband will never forget - tampo. Is there any real translation to this?? We haven't come up with one, but he definitely knows what it means now.

Definately!

Tampo = Tempertantrum

Here is what I've been using to learn Tagalog. It doesn't teach the spelling, but it teaches you how to say the words correctly because it uses native speakers of the language:

Pimsleur Lanuage Programs: Tagalog (I use the most expensive one because it has additional courses - 32 courses, 30 minutes each so that's 16 hours of Tagalog). If you're interested in this one, there's a person on eBay who sells them really cheap compared to the stores. Let me know if you're interested and I can give you his username. I've bought 1 Tagalog and 2 Spanish courses from him so I haven't had any problems so I doubt you would either.

You can help your husband with the spelling. I use this in combination with the Rosetta Stone, but the Rosetta Stone is only good at building vocabulary, not for conversation. Using them together helps a lot!
