• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You need "si" in the reply. The sentence would be a fragment in Filipino without the "Si".

It's like equivalent to "it's". Like an introductory word or something.

ok thanks

Saan = where
Kailan = when
Bakit = why
Ano = what

the proper grammar would be:

Nasaan ang mga magulang mo? = Where are your parents?
Nagugutom ka na ba? = are you hungry?
Kumain ka na ba? = Have you eaten?

Root words:
kain = eat
gutom = hungry
saan=where


Start with the basic words and pronunciation. :D

hmm

Ilang = how ..??

That's a hard one. No exact translation.

Just use. "Bakit mo ako palaging inaaway. "

Again, no exact translation.

"Bakit ka palaging nang aaway?" = roughly equuvalent to, "why are you being mean to me?"

Playing with my niece made me wonder.. is there a tagaglog equivalent of "awww.. you're just too cute!" ??

Ther are two ways:
1.) (we don't use this much now.)
"Napaka kyut mo" = super cute
Napaka = super

2.) (slang-ish way of saying it)
"Ang kyut-kyut mo."
You're super cute.

Cute=kyut
We repeat "kyut" when you wanna say "super cute"

Another example:

Ang ganda-ganda mo./ Napakaganda mo.
You're super pretty.

Ang bilis-bilis mo. /Napakabilis mo.
You're so fast.

I suggest you use no. 2.
The repeating of adjectives. We don't use the no. 1 way of talking anymore. Too old school.
