Pag-ibig kita

[Florge]

My bf told me last night: Darling, pag-ibig kita... and I go: what? and he said... pag-ibig = love... and I go: ohhh... mahal kita...

LOL.. seems like he's literally translating the english words to Filipino.. bought him a dictionary so he can start learning Filipino...

he's sooo cute!

What were the first Filipino words you learned or your bf/gf/fiance/fiancee learned?

[Tawi2]

I will be honest,within 10 minutes of getting into a taxi as an innocent impressionable child at NAIA I began my education :Erm: The driver told me to say "Hi,nice to meet you" to a lady I had to say "Dali na sa katre e**t na ta" or if she was especially nice "Your very pretty" was "Ayoko sa iyo,maluwang ang **** mo" :cwm24: Neither sentence actually translates as he told me they did,but the first has proven the more useful of the two :icon_lol: If you find either offensive blame a Manila(he was actually from the visayas)Taxi driver with a wicked sense of humour :NoNo::doh shame on him for ruining me..............

Ahh, my new phrase from the second I get off the plane in Manila:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Tawi2]

As a total newbie this phrase is very important for the taxi drivers parked at NAIA ako ay inosente, nakawan ninyo ako :xxgrinning--00xx3:It sort of means this is my first time here,can you tell :D They will fight each other if you shout it at the taxi rank to be the one to get you into their vehicle :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I take it they are as bad as the drivers in Thailand :xxgrinning--00xx3::doh Maybe I will look like a dumb tourist with too much money and too little sense when I get there:Erm: Good job I'll have local company... :rolleyes:

[Tawi2]

Pinoy taxi drivers are WORSE than Thai,in Thailand if you catch a guy robbing you at least he has the decency to smile in embarrassement,I have had some great arguments in Pinas with Taxi drivers,Earlier this year I stayed in Century Park Hotel got a taxi in the morning to NAIA at the hotel the taxi driver agreed to put his meter on,within 5 minutes of leaving the hotel and heading for the airport he turned off his meter and said 600 pesos,I told him to stop and jumped out,I will never reward a robber and Manila has the worst Taxi drivers as you will see :icon_lol:My tip?Get out of Manila ASAP and jump a flight south,its the worlds second biggest archipelago,the people are a little different in the south,they have a different mentality from the typical manila cabbie,Davao has the best and most honest taxi,drivers,though Cebu also has decent ones.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Cool:xxgrinning--00xx3: Although I plan to see pretty much nothing of Manila. Getting the flight to Cebu about 5 hours after landing in Manila if I can help it:) I think my first taste of Filipino food will be the Jollibee at NAIA whilst waiting for my flight to Cebu...

Personally, I am not much of a haggler with locals when it comes to things like shirts and stuff. I don't mind paying "tourist prices" so long as I know it is going to help someone less fortunate than myself. As for the taxi drivers, I got ripped off only once in Thailand, had a few cabbies kick me out when they realised I was only paying the standard rate. One Thai cabbie collected foreign money on his ceiling, so I tipped him £5 for his collection:xxgrinning--00xx3: Otherwise I always tipped them up to 100 baht, so I rewarded honest drivers.. One driver demanded 400 baht to go to the airport! But it cost me 400 baht on a metered cab ride to the same hotel two weeks earlier, so his demand probably cost him money as I was planning on giving him 500 baht anyway:)

[Tawi2]

Ok, if you say so uncle tawiwi :D:D:icon_lol::icon_lol:
I just want him to scare off the driver, some sort of intimidation or bluff, hehehe....so the taxi driver feels he cannot outsmart him....:D:D:D:D

True :xxgrinning--00xx3: It would actually be a nice joke, to break the ice....:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:
And i think it would be funnier to use "macho" instead of matipuno......people there would always laugh at the macho term, hehehehe

[Northerner]

I just want him to make friends as soon as he gets there :xxgrinning--00xx3:
