Bakit ang pinoy "change oil"...

[theveed]

ang di ko matake....

"WE ACCEPT..." sa mga shops...

You don't accept, you're running a biz, you need the customer, you OFFER... hehe

[mrpink]

uy, mahilig talaga ako sa baliktaran. yung tipong ganito ---> 69

naalala ko nung college .. yung mga pa-sosyal ... yung "hindi" ... binaliktad para maging "de-hins" ... tapos yung mga trying hard magpa-cool ... binaliktad uli para maging "heyns-di" ... wala lang ... hehe

[amber]

ito pa pala....ung experience ko sa aus...

when i ordered for rice ang sabi ko.."one order of plain rice please"

di nila ko maintindihan..kasi naman pala tawag nila dun e "steam rice". Pati ung shanghai rolls sa atin...Spring rolls sa kanila. Imbento rin kaya tau ng "Summer Rolls"



Balik tau sa "oil change" and "change oil"...

kasi tau mga NoyPi hilig ng short cut.Imbes na sabihin na "pa change ng oil" we short cut it to "change Oil" nalang.

[SIZE=4]Teka, bakit ba pag nagpupunta tau sa gasoline station..lagi pa "gas" ang term natin. Puwede rin kaya pa"diesel" pag diesel ang car mo? [/SIZE] :hihihi:

sa mga washroom naman na jologs: HE and SHE

di ba mas appropriate yung: KING and QUEEN?

[sturbo]

eh meron pa nga BULLS and COWS.

bakit nagpapa "vulcanize" ng tire at hindi tire repair.
kasi noong araw, "vulcan" and brand nung pang repair ng gulong.

That is so true....

colour vs color
centre vs center

realize - realise
and all 'ize' and 'ise'

lets take into consider the difference of english in most countries... euro english vs american english... i think mas tama pa nga yun euro eh

For fuel i say I'm gonna fill the car.

You can say "I'll get an oil change" or "I'll have a change OF oil"

Its more of slang.

Colokial language used to make things simpler. Go to any Jiffy lube in the states, they bastardize the language too just to suit their subculture.

Its not that saying "change oil" is wrong, it is just grammatically incorrect. Being able to convey the message is one thing, but I guess what the original poster, and what all teachers in the world wish, is that if you are to use a language, use it properly.

Adaptations to the English langauge are made everywhere in the world, but there is a basic grammatical base that is maintained.

Its not elitism, by no way am I an intellectual, but its more of propriety.

[cutedoc]

colloqial, slang , street language yun mga yun, pero importante tama grammar ng sasabihin natin and proper yun pronunciation mas ok

[notEworthy27]

don't forget the infamous "wala lang" line. up to now, there is still no definite meaning to it at least that I've know of.
