When Filipinos talk to each other, they sound like they're fighting but they're not. If they did, they'd sound louder than they often do.
Things that you will hear MORE from a Filipino:
-Yung ano... = That...
-Correk! = Correct {with a big r sound and a splashy k}
-May CR kaba? = Do you have a washroom [some will say "wala kaming banyo, sa lapag kami umiihi" = "no we don't have a washroom, we pee on the floor"]
*Filipino people takes everything pedantic, if you ask something like "Do you have a bed?" they'll answer "No, I sleep in the grass beside my cow... Of course I do!"
-NAK! ;for parents; = it means child, you'll hear it when their mom screams for them from the other side of their house.
-Open da TV nga = every Filipino parents has a habit of saying "open" to a lot of things like, lights.
-HOY! = it means hey, and I say that word about a thousand times a day, I think.
-Pssst = It is another term for hoy if they do not respond.
-Aray! = translates to ouch. A lot of Filipino will say "Aray ko, bakit mo'ako blah blah blah" until their breath is almost gone.
-HAYY! ANO BA YAN! = translates to "what are you doing" or "what the heck"
When Filipinos talk in English, they have an accent, when they say "go back" they pronounce it as "koh pahk". Lists of how Filipinos say words differently:
-Fat = Fut
-Hamburger = Hamborrgerrr
-The = Da
-That's so funny = Dat's soh fuanny
*Suggest more words so I can translate'em
If you go inside a Filipinos house you have to take of your shoes/slippers, but richer peoples don't mind. They'll offer you tsinelas (slippers).
