I don't speak much tagalog, but I'm learning. Last year I recorded "Buong Buhay Ko" by learning it phonetically... my filipino friends said I did pretty well. Now I'd like to learn another especially for my gf, so I can sing it to her when I visit the philz this Fall.. Does anyone have a suggestion for a song that expresses my appreciation of her? I don't want anything too deep (we're in a new relationship.. I don't want to scare her by saying anything too emo.. lolz). I'd also hope to find printed lyrics and a translation, so any help is appreciated!

what does this mean:

ay nako Hindi ko naintindihan ang sinabe mo babae ka ako ren puede mag salita nang ibang salita! Askal!

thank you very much

Sa ikalawang kabanata, mayroong tula si Isagani na binigkas ni Basilio tungkol sa steam engine. Wala po iyon sa libro ko. Patulong lang po.

In the second chapter, there is a poem by Isagani which was recited by Basilio. It was about the steam engine. I couldn't find it in my book.

Please can someone translate into english these following 10 sentences? It's from a friend's essay. It's a long story as to why I need the translation, but if someone who is fluent in tagalog/filipino could please do so, I will love you forever!!

Mahigit tatlong minuto na rin akong naghihintay sa Katipunan Station. Sa bilis ng pagdating ng tren, hindi ko maaninag ang hitsura ng mga pasahero.
Mga kulay lamang sila, mga kulay na lalong pinatingkad sa tulin ng sasakyan.
Nakatayo ako.
Habang humahagibis paalis ang tren sa kabilang riles, napagtanto kong naiiwanan na ako sa bilis ng oras.
Malamig sa loob ng tren.
Agad-agad natuyo ang pawis na bumasa sa t-shirt kong ngayon ay nanlamig.
Masikip.
Kumapit na lamang ako dahil lahat ng upuan ay nakuha na.
Nang makahanap na ng puwesto ang lahat ng pasehero, tamang-tama, nag-umpisa na ring umandar ang tren.

"lou, diay nakapuraw ti kurkursunadan sa diay anak ko but i am not sure. ha-an na nga ibaga..makaunget nu saludsudek."
and

"nagpintas da amin!!! unay unay ha ha"

Sana hindi maging totoo ang hinala ko na niloloko mo lang ako. Alam kong sinusubukan mo lang ako, pinag-aaralan mo lang ang pagkatao at pagka Pilipino ko. Sabihin niyo na ang lahat ng gusto niyong sabihin sakin. Kaya ko sinasabi sa'yo dahil ayoko lang na masaktan ako. Maraming beses na akong lumuha at nasaktan. Marami ng beses akong nabigo, ayoko na maulit itong muli sa akin kaya kung maaari lamang sabihin mo na lahat ng gusto mong sabihin sa akin. Ayoko na mahuli pa ang lahat. Mahal na kita, kayalang habang tumatagal nasasaktan lang ako lalo. Salamat sa lahat.
Edit:

yeah, I just got this earlier this morning.

I have no idea why she would send me something like this. It just makes this interesting.

1 : - d ako nakikipag lokohan sayo noh ?

2 : - ayaw ko sa lahat yung cnungaling ?

thanks

Why is that we, Filipinos, are not using our very own language in every different situations, such senate hearings, public speeches, forums, seminars, Q&A in every prestigious pageants here in the Philippines. Also in written format such as our leading newspapers here in the Philippines, books, signs (warning signs, traffic signs, slogans, announcements and ads). What's the sense of all of these if the one who read and listen to these are Filipinos? I know that English is very well known and spoken languages in this era, but are we gonna let other people vanish our very own language?

I am very confused right now, this questions always keep popping out in my mind everyday. SOMEONE HELP ME?

(totoo po akong pilipino, nag-englis2san lang ako para hindi matanggal ang tanong ko)

ginamit kc ito ng mga kaibigan ko. D ko kc maintindihan aniibig sabhin nito...

Someone sent this to me, but I don't understand filipino language, could someone translate it?

"hindi ko alam kong papa ano mabuhay dito sa mundo kong wala ka.Nan diyan ka palagi sa aking tabi sa panahon na malungkot ako...pasensya na kong minsan nagagalit ako sayo nang walang rason.pasensya na din kong hindi pakita masasagot dahil kailangan ko pa talaga nang space...siguro ikaw lang yung
lalake na nagsiseryoso sakin dahil lahat na nka relasyon ko yata ay pinaglaro-an lang ako.sana nandyan kapa rin hangang sa kataposan nang mundo...Salamat sa lahat!"
That's all wrong, says the person who sent it to me...

Ginamit kc ito ng mga kaibigan ko sa expressions nila, ngunit di ko maintindihan ano ibig sabhin ni2...

Sasagasaan ko 'yan. Talagang maghahanda ako para sa kanya. Dadaanin ko sa resistance. Hindi ko siya tatantanan. Lagi akong naroon kahit siya maputo.

I do not speak tagalog. But I am half filipino.
Thank you for any help.

mayroong ko TFC, TFC subscriber ako ehh. Anyways, I don't always understand all the tagalog words, naintindihan ko maraming magsalita, pero, I cannot catch all of it. I always watch this one telenovela with anne curtis and Sam Milby, Natatawa ako si Sam ksi he is an english speaker and when he speaks in tagalog, it sort of reminds me of myself. It doesn't right, but I think I can speak it without having that american accent, napapraktis ako so hindi naman marinig akong accent. I wish TFC had english captions, cuz that would help tremendously. Nanood ako ng GMA na rin. HAY SUS Mariosep, mahirap naman magintindihan, ang balis naman nakausap. Its hard to catch everything. anyways, does it help if i watch the show and then keep asking for the translation of the words? I sound desparate, cuz i am, i need help talaga. Natatakot ko, when I return back to pinas, I cant speak tagalog yet. wawa naman ako. I want to speak tagalog talaga. and understand everything. I need to bond with my relatives
To let you guys know, im 23, and I dont live with my parents, so please dont tell me to practice with my parents.
no, my parents spoke to me in inglish and tagalog, I think most of the time it was english?? EWAN, basta, somehow I didn't pick it up. It's the same with my fil-am friends, they didn't pick up the language like me even though they were rasied in a traditional filipino home. But gusto ko magtuto.

i am a native filipino but i can't speak my own language
and how do i speak tagalog better
_______________________________

katulad nang sambayanang WTF di ko nga alam yun eh
tsaka kung ano ano p

please translate this for me. thank you

nang yayare nah yung sinabe ko sayo. ;]

I know that the main language in the Philippines is tagalog and is widely taught around but shouldnt tagalog speaking pinoys learn other dialects like visaya?
Most visayas and other different dialect speaking pinoys can speak tagalog fluently but tagalog speaking pinoys can't speak other dialects.Almost 2/3 of people in the Philippines can speak up to 2 dialects or 3 even.
Aren't the tagalog speak pinoys are at disadvantage?

P.s Im a pinoy too,alam ko mg tagalog lol

"Haan ang ayam-ayam puso ko. Ang kiyat siksika, ngem sika kiyat sabali ang babai. Ang rigat."

so what does that mean? i don't know what language exactly, but based on the person im guessing it's ilocano (sorry for spelling?) pleease help.

also this one
"Jawk-ah-mo" i think that's just the pronunciation of a word. Please Help
Thankyou

Ok! kasi may naging BF si ate ko na blank ang pangalan so akala ko kayo po iyon...

thanks!

I'm writing a song based on my interpretation of the heroe's last poem. The music is in place, as well as my own interpretation of each of the 14 passages of the pentameter, though I patterned after Bonifacio's 4 by 12 syllables. But I am confounded by the best way to say it in Pilipino.

I have studied the works of Gatmaitan, Joaquin, etc. but I just can't find the phrase with "perfect certainty".

Can you please try to help me out on this?
Thanks, Allan.
I just found how to. It's the Add Details button I'm looking for.

Ok, Folks out there. I need a single line of 12 syllables in Tagalog/Pilipino (if strictly Tagalog, the better), e.g.,

Sa dilang lungkot ko'y kalungkot-lungkutan

Or

Sa madlang hapis ko, aking kalungkutan

It must end in "an".

Thanks.

Ang palaguy ko, di magaan ihanapin ng tao sino ay matiyaga matutuhin ng estudiente ulol at saka bwisit din na magTagalog.

It is my opinion that it's not simple to find a person who has the patience to teach a stupid and irritating student how to speak Tagalog.

Oh and I'm learning Tagalog...can someone tell me some common sentences used in the Philippines?

Gusto ko shota, na si ericka

One of my friend wrote in Tagalog on my Facebook wall and I want to know what it says-

@Mystic - Kapag po Pilipino ang gagamitin ko dito sa tuwing magtatanong, tinatanggal po ng Y!A. Ayan o, marami raw po akong "misspellings" kahit nasa Yahoo Philippines naman po ako.

I really appreciate if anybody from the Philippine can help me to translate the tagalog language into english...

Hindi ako umaasa na kami in the end. Minsan, doubt ako sa kanya pero pag tinimbang ko naman yung mga ginawa nya just to see me mukha naman seryoso nga saka hindi bastos both in words and in action.

I am getting text spam from a country code (011)-639 number. I think it is from the Fillipines. It is in tagalog or something cant understand if anyone can translate that would be cool: Does anyone know how to stop this? Am I being charged?

I've been trying to increase my Tagalog skills lately. How ever I'm doing a pretty lousy job thanks to my lack of resources. Anyway, I have some questions about a specific sentence.

This morning I herd the phrase "Masakit ang ulo ko." which I know (or think I know) means my head hurts. But I don't actually understand the vocabulary.

Ang means the?

PLEASE translate this website, or at least give me the main points. any help is greatly appreciated.
