I would like to go visit the Philippines and meet my cousins there but I don't want to not understand them when they are talking. Help?????

i'm taking a filipino beginners class in high school right now and I have to know these words in tagalog and my teacher didn't even tell us how to say them in tagalog so can you please translate these words for me.

Paper clip

book

desk

scissor

light bulb

door

calendar

fire hydrant

eraser

flag

television

pencil sharpener

crayon

globe

clock

It is much better if it is Avril songs or colbie caillat

Even when at times, there are more english than tagalog?

Can you give a short biography of jose rizal? In filipino language please..

i want to learn tagalog, whats the best way to learn? i live in U.S
if i study in the philippines for one year
will that make me speak the lang.?
Inday: I GOT NO PINOY FRIENDS
theyre all NON-Filipino LOL

is this learned more at home or in school?

english plural to Tagalog plural translation

my friends say it's tagalog for gentleman or something like that. is it true?

I am only half-filipino,born in California and raised in Mississippi..lol.. but that does not mean that I do not want to get in touch with my Filipino side. I speak english, and i took 4 years of Spanish (but forgot all the words... lol). I am going to visit the P.I. for the first time next year, so i want to learn some Tagalog. Not just to learn tagalog for my visit, but i will keep trying to learn it after, too. i am dedicated to become fluent in it.. is there anyway suggestions?
yea, i am going in feb. march. or april.. lol

is lacking in many technical & scientific terms & is not fully developed to be considered as a language in today's standard?

TAGALOG translation. Can anyone tell me if kunyari IS TAGALOG OR kunwari. Is KUNYARI colloquial? i AM STRUGGLING TO FIND OUT, CAN'T FIND any answer from website dictionaries,

Could you help me, I honestly dont speak a word and my school is international, but they just don't know how to teach foreigners, it's pretty insane.

And akin magiging kabiyok ng buhay ay isang binatang puti, binatang sibol sa kanluran. Magundat pulot-gata sa bibig ng isang munolong kaibigan.

Im sorry if some of the words are misspelled or so. What the instructions are is that I need to choose any word and find its synonim. So could you please help me out?? Thanks!!

I appreciate it so much.
Ok, im sorry.. I can't quite understand what it says in this paper either.
I dont need the translation, I need the synonim.

Im mexican american and have been talked to in filipino. not sure what that is all about but honestly...its gettin to me.

how do u say "yes, of course i speak tagalog"

except for the Philippines..

thanks in advance

I wanna polish my Filipino grammar and build my Filipino vocabulary (because it's a shame naman that I don't speak my native tongue fluently). i'm fil-chi but I'm more fluent in English >.< I was wondering, what books could help me do that? I was thinking: books by Efren Abueg, Edgardo M. Reyes (those are the authors in my HS third year textbooks)..but I can't find them anymore anywhere!

I tried reading Bob Ong's MACARTHUR but it wasn't my thing...so I guess that rules him out.

Ayaw ko rin ng local/native setting. Those settings really depress me! It's very hard to choose Filipino books...because majority of 'em are set in native provinces... I want to read a Filipino book that I could relate to.

And I also DO NOT like the romance books they sell in National Bookstore! (Yung Filipino version ng Mills and Boon!)

Of course, Eli Fili and Noli are out of the question! (Truth is, masyadong malalim yung Tagalog dun para sa akin)
btw, in case it helps, i'm currently 16.

Greeting! I miss you alot and I want to say thank you for gave me money. I wish i could be there in your celebration B-day!

Talagoa

im filipino (half) and i want to learn to speak tagalog because out of my cuzins, my family (other than my mom) doesnt know how to speak it... and i feel left out...lol

My neighbours are nice Pilippinos but sometimes they are very noisy and since I like them but they don't understand what I say i'd like to talk in tagalog.In the future i want to study Tagalog but Now i really need this simple phrase.
Please help me!!!

Looking to learn, but not via DVD or video.
