A Filipino businessman and his Australian associate decided to go
out and have lunch at a nearby restaurant. They were waiting for
the elevator to open on the 4th floor of a commercial building tower
in Makati City. Something was apparently wrong with the elevator but
it was still safe to use.

When the elevator door opened a woman stepped out and the
Filipino chatted with her very briefly in Tagalog. Then she went on
her way, and both the Filipino and his associate entered the
elevator.

Once inside, the Australian turned to him and said:

"Tagalog is a unique language. I don't understand what you two
talked about but I never heard anybody complete a conversation by
saying the same one syllable repeatedly."

1. What was wrong with the elevator?
2. What did the Filipino and the woman say to each other?

Hint: The answer to one question will lead you to the answer to the
other question
