Tagalog is the language spoken in Manila and surrounding area. I guess it makes sense to make Tagalog as the national language because Manila is the capital city of the Philippines at that time and the seat of the Philippine government.

Example of Tagalog Language:

Kumusta 'ka? = how are you?
Magandang umaga =good morning.
Magandang araw = good day.
Magandang gabi = good evening.

Magandang gabi po sa inyong lahat = good evening everyone.

The "po" is a polite expression usually used in formal speech or communication. It is usually omitted if the person speaking is addressing an equal, a friend or a younger person or a younger family member.

Sometimes the "po" is replaced by "ho" which is not as formal as the "po".

Ano po'ng (po ang) pangalan ninyo (mo)? What is your name?

(A) saan po kayo nakatira? = where do you live? Always put "A".

Gusto ko ang sitiong ito dahil karamihan ng miembro ay mahilig makipagkaibigan = I like this site because most of the members are friendly.

Counting in tagalog = pagbilang sa Tagalog

isa = one
dalawa = two
tatlo = three
apat = four
lima = five
anim = six
pito = seven
walo = eight
siyam = nine
sampo = ten

Bicol Dialect which is the dialect of Southern Luzon is another matter. It varies from town to town or province to province.
It is spelled: Filipino not Pilipino

PS...I speak tagalog.

It's not that difficult if you learn it and speak it in advance. Here is the example of Tagalog short talk:


First person: Annong pagalan mo?


Second person: Aking pagalan i Júan. Ikaw, annong pagalan mo?


First person: Ang pagalan ko i Phillip(It was pronounce there as fe-li-pe)

Hehehehe...that's all I can think of.

I think the words are difficult.

Asaan
Saan (where in English)
Nasaan(literally means "in where" in English. It is a combination of two Fililipino words "nasa" (in, in the, on, on the;"nasa" identifies where objects, people and places are to be found or placed) and "saan"(where).

Annong
anong (ano ang)

pagalan
pangalan

i
ay

Pilipino
Filipino Please note that either spelling is accepted and native Filipinos pronounce "Filipino" as "Pilipino" and therefore when writing it in the vernacular, it is spelled as "Pilipino".

Ninyo is the plural form of "mo" and also "ninyo" is used to denote respect (e.g. when talking to people whom the speaker is not very familiar or people who has seniority or higher in rank than the speaker).


Please study Tagalog grammar and spelling before you start making corrections.

Thank you for the corrections Vita32. Actually, I live in the Philipines for 8 years and I'm so fluent and since I went to Korea(my origin) and migrated again to California, so I forgot a little bit of my grammar in tagalog.

You are welcome. Sana ay maala'la mo'ng lahat nang mga salitang natutuhan mo sa Pilipinas. (I hope that you'll remember all the words that you have learned in the Philippines).

Please talk to me in Tagalog if you wish in this forum. I would like to speak the language with a tagalog speaker also.

( ) = words in parenthesis are not needed in the above.

"Nakakasalita man ikaw ng english fluent." This can be better expressed like, "nakakapagsalita din po kayo ng English, fluent". Since you have used the formal "kayo" (ikaw=informal), in the preceding phrase, it is best to keep the formal tone to the end of the conversation.

Ang sagot ko sa tanong mo:

Ako'y nakatira sa Tennessee, USA. Oo (opo). Ako'y (ako ay) nakakapagsalita ng fluent na English.

Ok lang huwag kang magala'la sa mga mali mo dahil kaya nga tayo naririto, e, upang matuto ng iba't ibang salitain.

If I want to express the above in a formal way because, for example, if you are so much older than I am, I will say:

Ang sagot ko po sa tanong ninyo:

Ako po ay nakatira sa Tennessee, USA. Opo. ako po ay nakakapagsalita ng fluent na English.

Ok lang po, huwag po kayong magala'la sa mga mali ninyo dahil kaya nga po tayo naririto, e, upang matuto ng iba't ibang salitain (salita).
