My grandmother came from the Philippines and its her 70th birthday. I don't speak tagalog. She doesn't speak English, so I need help. There are no online translators either.

This is what I have so far:

Maligayang Bati Sa Iyong Kaarawan!
Mahal Ka Namin Inay at Lola! (Is this good so far?)

With loving thoughts and memories
of the wonderful mother
you've always been...

With heartfelt gratitude
for the special grandmother you are...

With warm wishes for you
to enjoy your day and remember
how very much you're loved.

ed with them, and they talk **** about Filipinos on internet saying that were ugly and our food sucks...Honestly I think Mexicans are full of layered fats, and they're skins isnt as clear as Filipino does, and theyre frigging heights are honestly really of a dwarve's height, Must look in the mirror and see your Poop looking selves...your history aint really a pretty race!!!
Well If you can look at a REAL MEXICAN I'm talking about they arent really that tall or have a porcelain skin not unless they're MIXED! I can see a bunch of Mexicans here walking around with their kids or some family & even with guys I can see that I'm taller than them...
@East indian American, I don't think mexicans could ever be part mongoloid cause those kinds came from Asia, and it definitely doesn't really fit they're looks cause even mongoloids looks better than them...

pls i hope u will me tnx and God bless

My guess is that it's pronounced as three syllables ("TAH-oo-SOOG"), but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I want to work at KLM as stewardess someday.. But do they accept resume from other country? And if you know their standards in looking for stewardess please write it also. Much appreciated!

a short winning declamatory piece in Filipino about the celebration in Filipino Language suited for elementary level. thank you

I know a Filipino lady ( she looks Chinese with a tan ) that has a cousin--he looks Spanish for a person that is from the Phillipinnes. I know that a majority of Filipinos got Spanish blood in them but they still look Chinese. So can most Filipinos speak Spanish? What kind of Spanish is it?

I am planning on traveling overseas next year, Philippines.
What do I need to do to head overseas? Passport? Visa?
What is easier? Going to an office to get a passport, or Online? How much and how long is the process?
Thanks for all for the info any information help, this is my first time overseas, I know someone there so I won't be alone in the country. Good thing coz, I don't speak Tagalog and they do :) Thanks again everyone.

JUST WRITE SOMETHING AND IF YOU WANT YOU CAN THAN TRANSLATE IT TO ENGLISH.... I'M TRYING TO LEARN TAGALOG, I'M 14 YEARS OLD, AND PLEASE DO NOT WRITE SLANG WORDS AS I AM NOT READY FOR THAT, SALAMAT PO:)

How did the Filipino language come to be?

I have made a card for a friend whose brother was killed in the recent floods in the Philippines. I want to write, in her native Tagalog, that I am sorry for her loss, or that I will pray for her, a proverb, a poem, or whatever is the custom when you lose someone. She is older than I, but we have become close friends over the last few months, so I'm not sure if that changes the tone. Obviously I will tell her all this in English, but I thought it might be a nice gesture to put on the card. She is so very homesick and saddened right now. If you speak Tagalog natively, I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

tell me things I should know about Tagalog...

in filipino.....

my boyfriend was a little annoyed at me and text me this. He always sends me on missions to figure out his texts. But I dont speak Tagalog!! I do the same to him in Spanish. I know he is calling me something, I just dont know what.

"Maganda ka sana, kaya lang suplada ka."

Thanks for the help :)
Your answers really helped. The next day he sent me this in response, when I told him I wasnt stuck up.

"Ang suplada mo naman. Perp cute ka parin!"

Hi, can anyone who speaks Tagalog translate these messages for me? Some words are nicknames. Thank you.

Thanks! Both speakers were female, and none of them me because I can't speak Tagalog. :) I'm the Josh.

i found a cheap iphone 3g but its sold in the Philippines and the font and stuff is in Philippine (or some-other language) so i was wondering if i could change it to english with maybe an english firmware download or something

just paste it on your answer or you could send it to kiranobunaga@yahoo.com thanks a lot

I'll do this question for random categories, I'll start with this one.

Also I'd like to apologize for that offensive question I asked just a fortnight or so ago, it'd be nice if you can forgive me for talking trash about your country when I was angry with a bass guitar salesman :)

Most creative, humorous and/or reasonable answer gets awarded. Answering in Tagalog and Polish language is okay. English answers also accepted (state the obvious there, mate).

specifically, the stories of:

* pagbatikos sa kayamanan
*mayamang hangal at ang lalaking mayaman
* Levi at Zaccheus
* pagbabahaginan sa komunidad

I'm a Filipino-American. Yesterday, my Chase Customer Service call was picked up by a call center agent located in the Philippines. Agents in the Philippines speak and understand Tagalog. They speak very good english. They are also not allowed to speak Tagalog, which I understand.

I suggested to the agent that I prefer to use Tagalog in my conversation with her. She told me in return that the conversation is being recorded and that I must speak in English. I told her that Chase Customer service has an option for Spanish-speaking callers, so why not allow me to speak Tagalog. She said it's the call center policy.

My question: I there any race profiling-related US law that is being violated here?

Thanks.
"What if it had been routed to Mumbai and they wanted you to speak Hindi?"

--- I'm not saying that they have to require me to speak Tagalog. I'm just saying, is Tagalog an option for the caller to use since they understand it?

Also, I did not mean to mention "race profiling", which is a very sensitive item here in the US. I just didn't know what law, IF ANY, is being violated here.

I'm asking this question on behalf of many US residents (citizen or not) who, at times, are more comfortable speaking their native tongue.

Thanks for the quick answers though. Made it clearer.

Ive discovered that ECTACO has one.. but it seems a way too expensive. Any others?

Other details:
Colored would be nice.. Doesnt have to be talking.. More affordable than ECTACO.

DO THEY SELL ELECTRONIC DICTIONARIES IN NATIONAL BOOKSTORE?

I am working on my personal statement for UCSD and I'm having a hard time writing about my experience in being a part of PAA, Pilipino American Alliance. We have hosted many events and we are one of the most active clubs on campus. Any ideas of where to start?

Speaking generally...

Can someone please tell me what this says in English. I would really appreciate it ! THanks!
dagookan kita dyaan.tanda tanda ka na , mag bago ka na tignan mo yung sireeli mo .mukang addic ka na

I actually don't know what to say... got a pretty bad conscience cuz of that..
I need someone to translate this text for me.. there's this girl I'm madly in love with and I thought of showing her in a special way. ..
But the biggest prob is.. I'm not able to speak tagalog.
I'd be SO SO grateful if someone could help me... =)

This here is supposed to be an alternation to all my former [and further] love confessions.
I don’t understand a single word of what’s written there, but, you do. And that’s the important thing. As someone’s translating this for me, I don’t wanna talk too much.
Just this: I consider myself to be the luckiest person on earth.. cuz I got u!
Words can’t describe how much u mean to me.. how much I love u and how much I need u.
Baby... I promise, I’ll never let u down.
I miss u badly and the only thing that keeps me up is the thought of us meeting soon..
Wanna use this opportunity and say, thank you! For everything..
