1. payong – pah-yong. the ‘ng’ is like the ‘ng’ in hang.
2. pinggan – peeng – gahn.
3. hanggang – hung – gung. this one’s kinda hard, but i think i got pretty close. it can’t be ‘hang’ because it doesn’t sound like ‘hang’, like in hanger.
and shyaa is a proper pronunciation
ya maybe so
payong – pah yong (kind of like young)
pinggan – ping gan
hanggang – hang gang (as in gang)
siya – sha
1) pah yong, 2) ping gun spelled pinggan. 3) hung gung. siyah or shyaa is correct pronunciations.
the ng in tagalog is equivalent in the word eng lish.so pa-yong,ping-gan and hang-gang sounds the same english eng! siya is nearly shah.good day!
