Tagalog is my spoken dialect, before I’ve learned how to speak in English I was raised to speak in Filipino. Unfortunately there are words that are too vague for me to understand, maybe because we don’t use it during normal conversation. So what I did was gather some Tagalog words that I’m interested in finding out the meaning.
Here’s the list
Kaluguran - to love or in love; kapampangan (oh well, I often hear this song when riding taxi)
Naninibugho – Jealousy, to get jealous ( powerful line from Aegis naninibugho ako baby!)
Ngunit- However!
Subalit- But
Datapwa- Therefore!
Manlulupil- conqueror
Marikit- Beautiful, Graceful
Talulot- petal of a flower
Pasisiil- oppressed
Bagabag- Worries, Anxiety
Silakbo- out burst, eruption, outbreak
Balatkayo- to disguise, to mask, camouflage
Matanto- to comprehend or to realize
Mapasaringan- innuendo, implication, to give hint
Pulut-pukyutan- Honey
Pulut-gata- Honeymoon
Maalinsangan- warm, hot, sultry
Mabini- Gentle, Modest
Maaninag- to see
Nakakapagpabagabag- disturbing, troubling, alarming
Hinagpis- Pain,
Nagiiirog- in love, to love
Kagilagilalas- amazing or unbelievable
Nakahandusay- lying like lifeless (DEADZ LOLZ) or fallen flat
Kasulasulasok – Smelly, Foul smelling
Kawiliwili- interesting or exciting
Kumakalam na sikmura- hungry (as in dead hungry! LOLZ)
Matalakay- Topic to talk about or to discuss
Peligroso- Dangerous
Maaninag- To see
Mapagtanto- To figure out or to realize
Yamot- Boredom, annoyance
Liwayway- Ray of light
Hapis- Sad, gloomy, agony
Poot-Anger, Fury, Annoyance
Those words are not commonly use in a normal conversation, you don’t say “honey, nakita ko may ka holding hands ka kanina, naninibugho ako sa poot” or “iniirog kita, sagutin mo na ko please” or “bukas na ang pulot-gata namin woohoo!” or “wag kang magpasiil sa kanila lumaban ka!” it’s like watching tagalized mexican telenovela. I will never forget this line from Marimar: “ayan na ang mga basketbolista” (with delayed lips movement and seductive half opened eyes) that totally send me to Mars. I’m not saying that tagalog is weird or funny, what I’m saying is, there are other words that can be use to replace those profound words in our daily conversation and I must say that our language is very rich we have wide range of words to choose from and just for a little trivia we have 171 dialect here in the Philippines and yet we still understand each other, isn’t that amazing?
I might practice using those words with Wacky HAHAHA! ^^,
