Napansin ko lang na halos lahat sa mga nailathalang pananaliksik ay nasa Wikang Ingles. Ikinalulungkot ko ito, sapagkat ang mga ganitong pananaliksik ay maaaring gamitin ng mga taong nais matulungan nito. Subalit, hindi lahat, lalo na ang mga tagalalawigan ay hindi hasa sa wikang Ingles.

Sa tingin niyo ba, mainam na imandato ng ating gobyerno na dapat lahat ng mga pananaliksik na inakda sa Pilipinas o kaya mga Pilipinong mananaliksik ay isalin sa wikang Filipino?

What is the definition of Punyema? Is it even a word? I recall my Lolo saying it when he was frustrated lol. But I also heard him say Punyeta. Is it the same thing? Different meaning? Someone help

And here is the actual ruling!: https://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/210480-mel-v-velarde-at-angeline-l-macasaet-vs-kagalang-galang-na-hukuman-ng-pag-aapela-sa-buwis-et-al/

How did that word came to be?

I’m a Filipino developer, and I recently launched my first solo developed mobile app called **Kumustahan**.

It’s a simple conversation card app made for real kuwentuhan — with friends, your partner, your lifegroup, family, or even just yourself.

I built it because I noticed something very Filipino:
We’re good at staying together.
Tambay. Kain. Kwento. Long calls. Late nights. Group chats that never die.

Pero minsan, kahit ang tagal na nating magkakasama, ang hirap pa rin magtanong ng mas totoo.
“Kumusta?”
“Okay lang.”

And then the conversation moves on.

Kumustahan is my small attempt to create a soft way into those conversations.

You open the app, pick a deck, draw a card, and answer the question. Some are light, some are reflective, some are faith-based, and some are just meant to help people stay a little longer in a real conversation.

It has:
English and Tagalog/Taglish cards
offline use
no account needed
no ads
favorites and private notes
shareable card images
decks for getting to know, fun/light questions, self-reflection, and lifegroup/faith conversations

I really wanted the Tagalog to feel natural — not like translated app copy, not formal textbook Tagalog, but the way we actually talk.

The app is free on both App Store and Google Play. There’s an optional one-time expansion bundle, but the free version already has full decks you can use.
App: **kumustahan.app**

I’m sharing it here because I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from fellow Filipinos.
Does the idea make sense?
Do the questions feel useful?
Does the Tagalog/Taglish feel natural?
Where do you think people would actually use something like this?
Salamat sa mga magta-try. This is my first iOS + Android app, and honestly, I’m just grateful to finally share it.

Sana makatulong siya sa mga usapang matagal na nating gustong simulan — pero hindi lang natin alam kung paano.

:)

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!

Katuwaan lang po.

I am curious as to how far north in Southern Tagalog are glottal stops present in words where they are absent in Filipino/Manila Tagalog.

I am from Batangas myself and I'm well aware of the "ngay-on/gay-on/kataw-an/gab-i/laang". I ask this because when watching WanderZ Vlogs on Facebook, his grandparents and grandaunt from Rizal have these glottal stops present in their use of the aforementioned words.

I believe their family is from Cardona, Rizal. Perhaps due to the influx of non-Southern Tagalogs into the provinces adjacent to NCR and widespread media in standard Tagalog these glottal stops have fell out of use in some areas.

There really needs to be a new study re: dialectology of Tagalog because I find it hard to believe (as stated on Wikipedia) that the Manila dialect and Tanay-Paete dialects are grouped together instead of Tanay-Paete and other Southern Dialects.

Aminin natin na bukod sa labis na pagkalantad natin sa mga wikang banyaga (Inggles, Espanyol) na hindi natin namamalayan, ay nahahabaan tayo sa pagbilang sa Tagalog kaya ayaw natin itong gamitin. Paano kung paiksiin natin ito nang hindi lumalabag sa wikang panuntunan upang makasabay ang ating katutubong wika at hindi na umasa pa sa tagalabas? Narito ang aking mga mungkahi:

sipi:

(a) Nakasaad ang dami ng pantig (syllable) katabi ng salita. (b) Gaya ng nabanggit ko, kung mapapansin niyo, wala akong nilabag na panuntunan dahil ginamitan ko ito ng kudlit (') upang paiksiin ang mga salita. Kaya hindi ito maituturing na bagong likha. (k) Hindi ko na pinaiksi ang "pito" at "walo" dahil katunog na ito ng "tlo" (tatlo) at baka maging sanhi ng kalituhan. (d) Hindi ko na isinama sa pagbilang ng pantig sa "y" ng Espanyol dahil mabilis rin lang naman nila itong binibigkas (pati na rin ang "nueve/nuwebe" = 2).

Hi there! Can anyone recommend any Tagalog vloggers that are currently active? I have found a few like Cryz and Jai but would like more, especially some older ones (Im GenX). Maraming salamat in advance!

The girl I'm dating just said she's a "baklang babae". What, is she saying she's a lesbian? Or bi? I was too shy to ask her

Note: im 100% pure filipino. Grew up in the US but studying here in the PH

I just suddenly had a realization prior to posting this about ire, ito, iyan, and iyon. I remembered that the older forms seems to be yari,??,yaan, and yaon. Looking at the pattern, ito might have been yatu, isn't it?

I also recalled that iyan and iyon has an alternative ayan and ayun which got me thinking that maybe ayan and ayun/hayun is a relic of the transition from yaan and yaon to iyan and iyon. Add to that, ire seems to also be are in some dialects.

It got me into concluding that maybe the evolution of these words is like this:

yari > ayri > ire/are

yatu > aytu > ito

yaan > ayan > iyan

yaon > ayun > iyon

The ya seems to have been flipped to ay then phonetically combined and shifted to i.

Extending this evolution pattern to dire, dito, diyan, and doon:

dayari > dayri > dire

dayatu > daytu > dito

dayaan > dayan > diyan

dayaon > dayun > diyun > doon

I have nothing to prove that da is the actual prefix. It's just that I think it fits well. It is also possible that da is a variant of sa, so instead of sa yaon it became dayaon.

What do you guys think it actually is?

The shift from diyun to doon seems to be a pattern that is still ongoing.

ganyaon > ganayun > ganiyon > ganoon or na-yaon > nayun > niyon > noon

So, what do you guys think? I am not a linguist, but I am a native speaker. I have no idea if research in this already exists. I just wanna share some small realization I had when I was bored.

Our class had a fun awarding ceremony ie. "Mr. Most helpful", "Ms. Kikay", "Mr. Future Comedian" etc.

I won "Bolero of the Year" but what does that even mean? Fyi pala I grew up in the US but studying now in the PH. I know some tagalog kaunti lang but not familiar with a lot of words

Mayhaps you also have other suggestions!

Meron ba na specific tagalog term sa "pang-itaas"? Yung salawal kasi is general term para sa mga kasuotan na pang-ibaba (shorts, pants, briefs). Meron din bang katumbas na salita yung "salawal"?
