A Bit of Filipino Tongue

Ever wonder how to say "I love you" in a thousand different ways? I'll give you two ways more to say it. Pay close attention.

I LOVE YOU


  • I

    Tagalog: Ako

    Visayan/Cebuano: Ako


  • Love

    Tagalog: Mahal, Pag-ibig

    Visayan/Cebuano: Gugma, Pagmahal


  • You

    Tagalog: Ikaw
    Visayan/Cebuano: Ikaw


So how do you say it?


Tagalog: Mahal kita


or Tagalog: Ini-ibig kita


Visayan/Cebuano: Gihigugma ko ikaw


Visayan/Cebuano: Gimahal ko ikaw


Now try this: What does this mean? Tagalog: Ano ang pangalan mo? Clues:
Ano--what; pangalan--name; mo--your


Visayan/Cebuano: Pila imong edad? Clues: Pila--how much; imo--your; edad--age


Got it?
