Day 10

16 December 2008

Since we're not doing much today, I thought I'd share some words and phrases that I've learned so far:

Saang si CR? (Where's the bathroom?)
Doon (over there)
Dito (here)
Meron pa ba ____ ? (Is there more ____ ?)
Dito bayad po (to the Jeepney driver - "Here's my fare")
Bawal mag cigarillio dito (smoking is not allowed here)
Ay na ko! (Oh my! OMG, WTF)
Ayo ko na (I don't like that)
Masarap (delicious)
Mainit (hot - temperature)
Maasim (really sour)
Itlog (egg)
Tubig (water)
Lalake (man)
Babae (woman)
Anak (child)
Dahan, dahan (slowly!)
Mabilis (quickly)

And my stand-by response -
Hindi ko alam Tagalog. English, please? (I don't know/understand Tagalog. Could you please speak in English?)
