I am going to Practice my Tagalog in Philippines Forum

[coldwatersurf 5]

I just want to introduce myself in Philippine forum.

So, I moved to Canada when I was 10 years old. I am now 25 years old and very westernized. I have to practice my tagalog kasi meron akong english accent when I speak tagalog. Plus I speak Pangtaglish @ home. haha. (pangasinanse tagalog english). So does my parents when they are talking to us. I understand perfect tagalog. I just want to be able to speak it since I am moving to US with my hubby and wala akong mga filipino friends and family in the area. I never had any filipino friends since 16 yrs old. long story - it all involved gossiping and i hate chismiss. I only have 1 filipina friend b/c i met her when i first moved to canada & she is not into chismiss so i love her for that. haha. So bare with me. I hope there are others like me.

So kumusta!

what are the new slangs? there are soooo many! everytime i am watching filipino movies, i have to ask my parents. remember, i moved 16 years ago. lol.

i just want the popular ones.

[=FoxyBLUE= 2]

what kind of slangs? Like "gay Lingo" most of the time..we use Gay Lingo to make our conversation fun!

TEKA! bakit ba ako nag-i-ingles! tuturuan pala kita ng tagalog e!

hmmmm...lemme think

can you give me example of those popular slang u know? my brain isnt working...maybe it just needs pumping!

[coldwatersurf 5]

Ay nako. hindi ko alam. I dont remember those things. ako pa? ano ba yung gay lingo? all my aunts are lesbian so i wouldnt know.

Should I just read a tagalog book or watch filipino movies? carry tagalog dictionary w/ me? hahaha

chorva - a term that can be used as a noun, an adjective, a verb, or an adverb. it practically replaces everything.

example:

ang chorva ni mariel!

ang ganda ng chorva ni mariel.

chorvahin mo nga si mariel.

We are mabuti. Kumusta ka?

This is a good thread. My fiance is also learning basic Tagalog. He knows some Tagalog words and phrases already.

Good luck sa pag-aaral mo ng tagalog.

Chaka - slang or gay word for ugly..

[=FoxyBLUE= 2]

hahaha...Gay Lingo na ito...pero its consider slang na rin (i guess...)

Gay Lingo - are words used by Gays so people would have a hard time understanding them!...But most of the people, whether guys or gals use this now...

KEBER - "i dont care"

Ex:

Keber ko sa ginagawa ni felb.

[coldwatersurf 5]

well... i have to go out for breakfast. my husband told me to get off the computer. HAHA. the internet is my friend.

naku mga kaibigan, paumanhin. baka hindi magandang halimbawa ang pagbibigkas ng mga salitang hindi tunay na tagalog. dahil bagamat ito ay nakakapagbigay ligaya sa atin, maaaring mawala na sa ating pananalita ang kaluluwa ng ating magandang wika.

huh? ano daw?

hahahaha. in fairness nakabawi ka.

lola (ko/mo) - no longer used as tagalog for "grandmother". in gay lingo it refers to all females.

ex:

tignan mo si mariel, winner ang lola mo!
