tnx!!
i love you too!
1. ) Just add "mga" (pronunciation: "ma-nga") to pluralized tagalog nouns.
Example: Book-Books = Libro-Mga libro
Child-children = Bata- Mga Bata
2.) "Nasaan"(pronunciation: "Na-sa-an") means "where(interrogative pronoun)"
Example:Where is ana?
Nasaan si Ana?
Where is the cat
Nasaan ang pusa?
Where is the school?
Nasaan ang paaralan(paaralan means school)
(Note: Always put "si" before the noun if it is NAME OF A PERSON. If it is improper noun use "ang")
"Bakit" means "Why".
Example: Why are you like that?
Bakit ka ganyan?
Why is it red?
Bakit pula ito?
"Kailan" (pronunciation: ka-i-lan) means "When" (interrogative).
Example:
When will you go?
Kailan ka aalis?
When should I go?
Kailan ako dapat umalis?
"Sino" means "Who"(interrogative).
Example:
Who is Ana?
Sino si Ana?
Who is the teacher?
Sino ang guro?
3.) "Ba" is use for interrogative sentences.
Example:
You are beautiful
Maganda ka
Are you beautiful?
Maganda ka ba?
4.)Tagalog has only 3 verb tenses. And these are Past, Future and Present Continuous.
To make verbs in future tense just double the first syllable of the word.
Example:
dance- will dance
sayaw- sasayaw
eat- will eat
kain- kakain
drink- will drink
inom- iinom
I will eat spaghetti
Kakain ako ng spaghetti
I will drink milk
Iinom ako ng gatas
To make verbs in past tense is complicated. Copy the first letter of the verb and then put "u" (If the first letter of the word is a vowel, just put "u". Put "m" from the first vowel of the first syllable.( I hope that i explain well it to you)
Example:
dance- danced
sayaw- sumayaw
eat- ate
kain- kumain
drink- drank
inom- uminom
I ate spaghetti
Kumain ako ng spaghetti
I drank milk
Uminom ako ng gatas
OR just add na- before the root word.
Example.
I already ate that
Nakain ko na iyan.
I already take/drink my vitamins.
Nainom ko na ang bitamina
I danced with Ana/ I danced Ana
Nasayaw ko si ana
To make verbs in present continuous is much complicated. Copy the first letter of the word and put "u" after it. Put "m" before the first step and add the first letter of the first syllable, after that put the root word after those two steps. (I hope that i explained it well)
Example:
dance- dancing
Sayaw- Sumasayaw
eat- eating
kain- kumakain
drink- drinking
inom- umiinom
I am eating spaghetti
Kumakain ako ng spaghetti
I am drinking milk
Umiinom ako ng gatas
5.) If you heard the word "taga-", it means that you are living
in a particular place.
Example:
Taga-Maynila (living in Manila)
I am living in Manila
Taga-Manila ako
I live in California
Taga-California ako
"Taga-" also means "the one who".
Example
clean- linis
cleaner- taga-linis
read- basa
reader- taga-basa
I am the reader
Taga-basa ako
6.) "Naka-" means wearing something.
Example:
Naka-pula (wearing red. Pula means red)
I am wearing red
Naka-pula ako
I am wearing T-shirt
Naka-Tshirt ako
7.) Politeness. Use the word "po" for polite sentences.
Example
Where are you?
Nasaan ka? (impolite)
Nasaan po kayo? (polite)
(Note: Kayo is the plural form of "ka". Whenever using the word "po", you must pluralized the pronoun. So, "Nasaan po ka?" is wrong!
8.) To make nouns in adjective form, just add ma- to the root word.
Example:
Beauty- Beautiful
Ganda- Maganda
Noise- Noisy
Ingay- Maingay
Heat- Hot
Init- Mainit
It is hot today
Mainit ngayon (mainit- hot, ngayon- today)
Ana is beautiful
Maganda si Ana
9.) English nouns ending in "-tion, -sion", to translate in tagalog, just replace -tion, -sion to "-syon/siyon" and change the letter "c" to "k", "v" to "b" if there is.
Example:
Population- Populasyon/ Populasiyon
Version- Bersyon/ Bersiyon
Nation- Nasyon/ Nasiyon
10.)"Na" means already done/already/already happened in the past.
Example.
I ate my breakfast
kumain na ako ng almusal.
I already take a bath.
Naligo na ako
"Rin/Din" means too/ also.
He also danced
Sumayaw rin siya
I also ate my breakfast
Kinain ko na rin ang almusal.
Me too.
Ako rin.
"Raw/Daw" is used when something is not yet proven or you are not sure of something. It is commonly used it interrogative sentences. "Raw/Daw" is also used in commanding.
Example:
Ana said you should eat at the canteen.
Sabi ni Ana kumain ka na raw sa kantin.
What did Ana told you?
Ano raw sabi sa ito ni Ana?
11.) "Pinaka-" is use for superlatives
Example:
Most beautiful
Pinaka-maganda
Tallest
Pinaka-mataas
The tallest mountain in the world is the Mount. Everest.
Mount. Everest ang pinaka-mataas na bundok sa mundo.
Ana is the most beautiful
Pinaka-maganda si Ana
"Mas" (means "than") is use for comparatives
Example:
Mount. Everest is taller than K2.
Mas mataas ang bundok Everest sa K2
Ana is more beautiful than Sarah
Mas maganda si Ana kay Sarah
Now, you almost know on how to speak tagalog. The second step is to memorize some tagalog words.
I am a polyglot, sire, but I’m afraid I am yet to be acquainted with the language. Yet I heard the language is sublime.
Edit: Er, sorry for "sire" address. Your name seems to indicate the contrary.
Well, thank you for loving us.
Though i dont think our language ‘tagalog’ is such a good language to learn, i wish you goodluck.
Mabuhay! haha <—means long live
I don’t speak Tagalog but I am learning a few words every day.
Kamusta? How are you?
Yes I can.
Phils. language are not common language to learn. But it would be interesting and fun to learn too. If you are foreign person it will be quite difficult for you to learn the exact pronunciation of some of the words. But it can be learn. For sure it is readable, some vowels and consonants are the normal alphabets, but bit of twister tongue challenge. lol
Lovely to hear that you are interested in our language.
Happy learning.
Salamat!
