Turn off. Para kasing sounds bulol pag tsaka/chaka

Narinig ko magsalita yung coco martin, turn off, parang si Sylvester the Cat. I thought in his NEscafe commercial, he intentionally said YAMY instead of Yummy, but that's the way he talks pala

[go-to-guy]

I also use tsaka ever since as well as meron. For me naman nawiweirduhan ako sa tunog na saka parang "magsasaka" and mayroon for me sounds like makalumang tagalog. I've never heard anyone use that unless it's written in a book or one of those historial films.
BTT: The use of the word "ala" instead of "wala". 1st time I encountered it was nung kasikatan pa ng mga forwarded quotes sa txt. So when I hear it these days para siyang txt speak.
Speaking of many years ago, I hated it when alot of people even on the news/media called music videos MTV.
Another one I can think of is the use of "benchingko" instead of bente singko. I have a tita like this, katawa lang hehe.

I don't understand most of his tagalog terms. May post siya yonip daw, si Jun Pekto hindi rin siya naintindihan agad. He meant PINOY pala. Ako nga born and raised here, hindi ko alam yung word sa YONIP. haha.

When you lived/stayed in a foreign land for some time,- these slangs (kanto words) come in handy....

When you chance upon a Pinoy-looking person, the most convenient way to check if he's Pinoy or not is through these... Or you hum,- baloooottttt,- and he should quip back with Penoy..... Yeah!

I remember meeting a Filipino who was manning a 7-11 store in the US,- I was trying to strike a conversation with him,- but he is not replying. I stopped after a while,- as I was thinking that he was TNT, and oh so afraid for a fellow Pinoy to turn him in to US Immigration officials....

And I thought "atsaka" is the small hair growth just underneath your lower lip...

ah, he speaks/type pinoy slang sometimes when he's into joke or 'harutan' sa board. but i found his tagalog that perfect.

noypi/noypi it's just like oklab/bokal aka KALBO. binabaliktad lang

Bro.,- laking kanto ako, sa totoo lang...

Kaya nga katulad ng sinabi ni Mr.Spock,- "I can be a savage (again); I just have to look back at my past..."

Sinuwerte lang na may tunay na paninindigan sa pangarap at medyo magaling sa aritmetik...

language is an evolving thing. my english teacher of olde, will check us in our use of the king's english. but in truth, merriam's dictionary recognizes language evolution and does introduce new words into its pages from time to time.
tulad ni ted of the radio station DZ--, mahilig sa "karampatan" even as the appropriate word is "karapatan". well, more and more of them are using the word now. in my day, my pilipino teacher would have castigated these guys thru the grading sheet.
nice thing with latin. it is a stagnant, nay... dead language.

converting a noun into a verb... genericking a brand name.. filipinizing a foreign word.. generally, bastardizing a word..
we filipinos are expert.
pridyider had a headstart.. frigidaire.
"i-simonays natin ang car nyo po." simonize brand car shine paste. in those days, simonize wasn't as easy to use as today's turtlewax. lumalaban ang car biton. ayaw magpa-tanggal! you will grow mr big muscles. so, to "simonize" a car back then was not for the weak of heart (err.. muscle).
"i have a secret... hulaan mo." "sirit!" (share it!)
"sabado bukas. asan ba yung jobos..?" (joe boss. a dye, popularized as a blackener of scuffed shoes when ROTC was in vogue)
in negros, patis gets you toyo. say rufina if you want patis.
ang my uncle, may he rest in peace, kept saying "bolswagen".

OT. i'm not griping. i'm enjoying it.

how did he use the word? there really is a tagalog word na "karampatan" of which i think the closest english translation is "appropriate".

your translation to appropriate is correct.
i believe he uses karampatan as an adjective. and he uses karapatan as a noun.
i remember, there was no such karampatan word back in '75, because our pilipino teacher marked my answer wrong (according to him. and i was not about to challenge him, then). but language is a subject in evolution. if enough people use it even incorrectly, it eventually becomes correct.

When people says CHAKA instead of SAKA.

I remember in Filipino class, the word is SAKA.

Example: Mabait siya at saka matalino

Mabait siya AT CHAKA matalino

I grew up in the province. Eversince, we use "tsaka" instead of "saka".

"Saka" just sounds too formal.

just keep it up bro at siguradong mas malayo pa ang mararating mo, iyan din ang turo ng mga oldies ko.

I'm glad I never heard that DJ. Sa ganyan ako naiinis.

i just saw an ad promoting PH tourism, featuring Kawasan Falls in Cebu.

The guy backflipped off a bamboo raft....his head landed just inches away from it

The ad also featured the guy seemingly jumping off one of the cliffs/falls.

i've been told that the area is "taw-an" or enchanted. Even if you don't believe in that, a few people die annually there -- a combination of the ice cold waters and a strong undercurrent. Some who did that dive never came back up.

[baludoy]

^Ang ganda jan sa kawasan falls. The canyoneering tour over there is banging (so i'm told)

True, not because of being enchanted but because of the dangerous under tow. The water is so deep it is reported that nobody has touched bottom yet.

[badkuk]

^ Just don't hang around the lower falls, afaik there are three main levels...pag nasa lowest ka, lahat ng libag galing sa upper levels babagsak dun ^_^

It's been awhile since i've been there. Some idiots bring soap and shampoo

yup, tons of stories like that actually. majority of the deaths belongs to the tourists/strangers who are not aware of the surroundings, or should we call them simply stupid?
the locals then warn tourists; "mag ingat kayo at taon taon may kinukuha diyan."
and so there goes another 'victim of the year',,, sino? anong nangyare? turista, tumalon,,, lasing.

There is also this mantayupan falls in Barili, Cebu which is rumored to have a giant squid feeding on humans. I have never been there as I got so scared when my father told me about that story.

Speaking of enchantment, wag kayo matutulog sa villa escudero yun mga nipa hut along the lake. That lake is enchanted. Kung gwapo ka dika papatulugin at may nanganganta all night na ikaw lang makakarinig
