This guy I like took a quiz on facebook and his result said that the name of the person he likes starts with a C (like my name).

Then one of his friends commented on it in a filipino language, I'm not sure if it was tagalog or not.

But they said "aba cno yan"

does anyone know what that means?

Any technology that influence the Filipino language. Mostly for Filipinos.

i need the meaning in Filipino language (a paragraph of meaning would help)

tell me what you think.
I'm gonna try answering back, people, let's make this into some kind of debate for fun.

@Flower Power, but there are no full Filipino language anymore. The Filipino language is a mixture of different languages: Spanish, vernacular languages, and English.
I'm also giving you guys permission to debunk the arguments of those before you... that is, if it is allowed in Yahoo Answers. LOL.

I am Japanese living in the Philippines and now learning the Filipino language so hard by myself. Because, unfortunately, there are no good grammar books written in Japanese are available, I have no other choice than to learn it by books written in Tagalog...

While reading a book, I came across a passage whose meaning I cannot figure out:

>Anupat magiging madali at malinaw ang pag-aaral sa alinmang bahagi o antas ng Filipino kung magkakaroon muna tayo ng sanligang kaalaman sa ponolohya o palatunugan nito.

In this pasage, "anupat" and "sanligang" are the words I don't understand and which I cannot find out even in the dictionary.

(1) anupat: I guess it is made up of 'anu + pa + at', but I can't still figure out the meaning of the whole sentece.

(2) sanligang: I guess it consists of 'isa + -ng + liga + ng', and I suppose 'sanligang kaalaman' means 'the whole knowledge' or 'total understanding'. I am still not sure of myself because I can't find out the word in the dictionary.

I would like to know the meaning in tagalog dialect or filipino language the english phrase "so to speak".

i can be your tutor. Tagalog is the Filipino language while Cebuano is the language in most of the Visayan provinces. I can teach you how to speak some tagalog or cebuano languages.

What are the projects/contributions of Pres. Corazon Aquino to enrich the Filipino Language

*For me, the Philippine government do not pay attention with regards to the distribution of Philippine literature in the country. Why?

* We all know that Philippine literature helps a lot to raise our national language. How?

*Nowadays, Filipino language is being snobbed by Filipinos themselves because they weren't able to use it especially to those educated people. Why?

*Some Filipinos are also fond of reading materials which are written in English rather than in FIlipino. Why?

*Before, some Filipinos patronizes the Philippine literature, but now, they do not want to read more of it & spend their time with it. Why?

Lots of tagalog (filipino language) words are almost the same as some french words. Here's some french that sounds like tagalog:

TURN - le coup (liko)
LITER - le true (litro)
BEHIND - le coud (likod)
FIVE - le ma (lima)

What was our original language and how did some french words get into it? I thought Spain was the only country who influenced the Philippines.
