I'm taking a filipino language class in college (my boyfriends family is filipino) and I'm making a gift but want to sign it I love you in filipino at the end.. something we haven't covered in class yet..

On one website it used the words Mahal and kita -- which, I looked up kita and it said something about earnings or wages.. I don't want his family to pick it up and read that I love his wages or something incorrect.. can someone help?
hah, well do you have any other phrases I could use?

such as.. i miss you.. stay amazing (inside joke we have) i don't know.. random things? that way I could write the whole letter in filipino..

Hi, later this year I will be a proud best man for my Wife's brother's wedding in the Philippines (Mindanao). Unfortunately, being British and from the UK, I know and speak next-to-no Tagalog or Visayan! I'm not going to let that put me off though and so I now need help from any budding Philippine jokers (or jokesses?) out there!
If anyone knows any suitable wedding jokes to amuse the guests, I would be very grateful to recieve them! It would be best if you could post both the joke and it's english translation if possible. Family jokes and wedding jokes would all be very much appreciated! Many thanks for any responses! I look forward to laughing at your bestlines! Tony.

I was surfing in the internet a while ago about weddings and I found this: lol

(This joke was found on the Internet and has circulated and been forwarded many times over via email. Foreigners planning to marry Filipinos should note that these are exaggerations, but they will somehow get the idea. It was written by an American man who loves his Filipina wife despite what follows.)

Some of it are funny and I think maybe the guy was just exaggerating but I also think it might be true.. who knows. (to each their own) lol
I just want to hear your opinions from you guys after reading the content of these pages.especially from those who are already married. Feel free to add something/ anything especially about weddings and marriage. Thanks.

there is a question to me its kinda joke but it keep boggling my mind. this is my question, binili mo nang black, kinain mo nang red, dinura mo nang black" and this, englesin mo to, iboto mo ang lunsod" -in one word -11 letters -5 syllables

I work with this dude from the Philipines, and he is leaving in a few days. I want to say this to him in his own language:

"Merry Christmas"

"Good luck, Carlo"

"I hate plastic" (It's an inside joke lol).

So, how are these written in Tagalog, and how are they pronounced. Thanks in advance.

I already speak English and Spanish (Mexican dialect) fluently, and I want to learn another language. I have a lot of Filipino friends, and have been told that filipinos are basically asian mexicans. So, is it a difficult language to learn?

Are there places where I could learn it?
ok, so, in no way did that answer my question. i know they are not mexican. its just a joke, since my mom is mexican, and the girl i was talking to is filipino.

I'm wondering if there is a way to say "I Love You More?" in Tagalog? I know how to say I love you, but its a long standing joke between my Filipino boyfriend and I that he'll say "mahal kita" and i just say "love you more" in English as I don't speak Tagalog. I'd love to respond in Tagalog if possible. Thanks!
