BWL Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 The Philippine languages are full of Spanish words. I remember even common verbs like:maglaba (to wash) is from Spanish "lavar"magsara (to close) is from "cerrar"magtrabaho is from "trabajo", or "work" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWL Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Don't forget "kusina" for "kitchen"! Even Spanish numbers are commonly used for counting. I believe used for telling the time and to count money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidney Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well there's relo, silya, la mesa, estante, señorito, señorita, amigo, amiga, reseta, and a whole lot more. Actually, haven't you noticed that we Filipinos changed the spelling of Spanish words so that they can look "Tagalog"? Like "policia" to "pulisya".

I believe used for telling the time and to count money.In Manila, we usually count in Tagalog or English. Spanish numbers, I think were commonly used in some provinces. I remember my lolo (grandfather) who used to say "mil nueve sientos ochenta y cinco" instead of just saying 1985. I miss my lolo terribly. :emo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
