Bakit ang pinoy "change oil"...

[Psylocke]

Why do pinoys refer to "oil change" as "change oil" ?

Baliktad

e.g.

"Tapos na ba ang change oil mo?"

[GlennSter]

nakasanayan na.

[ts1n1ta]

ala pasaway lang talaga hehehe

[Alanstatic]

Parang Xerox, nakasanayan na nga eh.
Pwede mag pa Xerox?

Dito ganon din , "Change oil + free car wash S$5 only ".

[empy]

kanya-kanyang gamit lang yan. the english language is very different when it's spoken in the US, UK, India, or the Philippines.

one thing i always found funny is you guys call the regular dealer maintenance "PMS". pre-menstrual syndrome kasi yan sa states, eh :bwahaha:

[zechs]

i think para mas maikli lang? instead of saying in its entire context na, "do you want the oil to be changed?" haha

That is so true....

other examples:

napkin vs tissue
comfort room vs rest room
(plural) money vs (plural) monies
colour vs color
centre vs center
red light vs traffic light
mineral water vs bottled water

"oil change" o " change oil". the same pareho lang yan.

[sturbo]

same same.

dyan ka bilib sa pinoy. kahit na bali baligtarin mo. maiintindihan pa rin.

[nicolodeon]

Nakasanayan na eh. Ibat ibang English-speaking nations, ibat-ibang grammar ant verbiage use.

Gaya sa ilang parts sa Visays. Ang tawag nila sa toothpaste, Colgate. Kaya kapag sinabi ng buyer na "Pabili colgate", ibig sabihin nun eh bibili sila ng toothpaste. Tapos, itatanong ng vendor "Anong klaseng colgate".

[conzky]

eat all you can=all you can eat

[odell]

ibang klase tayo eh.. the beshht!

[Off-Roader]

Wala namang masama dyan as long as the message is conveyed well by the sender and understood well by the reciever. You can even invent your own figure of speech wala namang magbabawal sa iyo as long as magkakaintindihan tayo. Tingnan nyo mga bading they usually have their own language na sila sila din nagkaintindihan pero tayo hindi dahil hindi naman iyon para sa atin. My point is, bakit tayo magpupumilit na iperfect ang salitang nakaugalian dahil lang sa inidolo natin at sapilitang ginawaya ang salita ng mga banyagang wala namang pakialam sa atin.

oil change = change oil

mahilig lang talaga sa baliktaran mga pinoy! hehe

[Psylocke]

Mali pa rin kasi ang "change oil" kahit nakasanayan na.

e.g. "I had a change oil". Mali.

It should be "I had an oil change".

Parang "He had a change attitude", mali. Dapat "He had an attitude change".

Oh well I'm starting to sound like a gradeschool teacher... :D

[BlueBimmer]

same meaning lng naman e

Tama pa rin pag sa TagLish ginamit at Pinoy ang kausap.
e.g. "Nagpa-change oil ako." Tama naman di ba?

Ang mahalaga nagkakaintindihan kayo ng kausap mo. Pag foreigner naman ang kausap ko, sinisiguro kong tama ang grammar ko para magkaintindihan din kami.

[amber]

dagadagan ko pa....iba iba ang terms to mean same thing

when i was in australia

ang "take out" na food sa pinas >>>>> "take away" sa kanila ( abay balak itapon ung gusto namin itake out)
di rin nila kilala ung rest room or comfort room >>>> toilet ang hanapin mo para ituro ka nila sa rest room.

pero kahit papano,nag kaintindahan din kami agad.
