I’m white and American

Forgive my poor Tagalog:

Paano sabihin yun “close your legs” sa Tagalog? Kasi, carefree ang asawa ko. Google says: “isara ang iyong mga binti “. Pero, no intendi siya. Americana / Filipina siay at magsalita Taglish mix kasama Ilocano.

Long story short: she and I have been married for two decades. I learned some Tagalog, but rarely speak it to her because she mixes English with Tagalog and Ilocano, plus short cuts (slang), so I can’t follow. She wears dresses a lot , but exposes herself. I’d like to tell her to close her legs in Tagalog so she won’t be embarrassed, because nobody will know what I’m saying.

Please help! Maraming salamat!
