Filipino pronunciation

[aposhark]

My dear wife always asks me to pick up some "crips" (crisps) for her.
I really like these little pronunciation mistakes.

My Visayan (Cebuyano) is dreadful so I really am proud of her.

I now say crips too, well why not, a little bit of fun never hurt anyone!

Does anyone else like the way our English words come out?

Maayo Kaayo bai! Tinoud!

Ya, and you know what else, I've started using sorta bisaya grammar sometimes, as when I was living there - for a year until a month ago, I had to use bisaya every day, coz where i was, very few people spoke english with any kind of fluency! lol

[Tawi2]

I always try and sharpen my visayan when I am there,why not,pinays are expected to use english here,when in rome I always say :)Its "berry,berry" easy to pick up :icon_lol:Pinoys call it "Bamboo" or broken-english.

[fred]

Apparently everyone thinks I speak slang here.. I was corrected just last week when I found a 5 ft 3 kilo Python..
"Its snick....Not snake"
You live and learn.

[RickyR]

It's the text message abbreviations that drive me mad...

[Sim11UK]

The funniest thing I heard her say, was her pronounciation of 'Hippopotamus'. :icon_lol:

Of course, it's totally lost on here, but it never fails to amuse me, when I think of it. :)

Classic chinese restaurant joke -

Excuse me waiter, this chicken is rubbery!

Fank you velly much!

[LadyJ]

As I work part time in chinese restaurant, my chinese friend asked me 'Can you serve 1 cok (instead of coke) to table sex (instead of six)' I was embarrased when she said that because customer heard her loud and clear.:icon_lol:

Also some of my visayan friends they mention Tam instead of Tom.:icon_lol:

[Pete67]

Ha! I often go to my local chinese cafe (George st, brighton) for lunch and usually have a can of coke, and it's a bit disturbing having the waiter stand over me and asking "do you want cok with that" especially as this is the most gay area in area in brighton.....
Also, I always have the chicken stir fry noodle, and when the waiters not there the chef comes out and offers me "you want usual chicken cok?"
btw, "chicken" is gay slang for a young male....

[Tawi2]

Dispense with cok:icon_lol:Next time your in there ask for Ho Lok (cantonese for coke).

[Pete67]

Dispense with cok:icon_lol:Next time your in there ask for Ho Lok (cantonese for coke).

I'll try that thanks! what danger is there that I will mispronounce it so it sounds to a chinese person like what their pronounciation of coke sounds like to me? could be interesting.

[Florge]

ouch! i'm bisaya... but.. i don't talk like that...

well... one thing though.. i speak american english... so Blackley is pronounced as Blakely (long a).. which i find funny...

i'm proud to be bisaya!!!

[Pete67]

I love the differences in pronunciation between US and UK english, I work for an American company and once had a senior manager over from the states doing some sort of research, she used to introduce herself thus, and I swear I am not making this up -

Hi! I'm Randy and I need five minutes of your time...

[pennybarry]

My husband also helped me to pronounce crisps.:omg::icon_lol:

There's another one word they laughed when I pronounce biscuit.

I said I want BIS-KU-WIT' instead of bis-kit .:icon_lol:
Filipino fishermen here do pronounce the same. One time, me and hubby were staying at port with filipino fishermen and there were pupils around and they shouted "Hello BIS-KU-WIT":omg: :doh.

One fisherman said, one of them is his skipper's son and sure they talked about his pronunciation.:D

I was in Sunderland maybe 20 years ago,one of the first Pinays there was from Cavite but she had been in the north-east for a few years,her husband had a business shipping Ronblon marble over to the UK for fireplaces and kitchen worktops,her name was Angie and she always used to say "Why aye man" in a pinay-geordie accent :icon_lol:

[pennybarry]

Dispense with cok:icon_lol:Next time your in there ask for Ho Lok (cantonese for coke).

[South-east boy]

Suzie is from near Cebu and speaks American English too. She has a little trouble understanding my English accent, so how did the ladies on here find the English accent when they first heard it?

... my brit friend asked me how I pronounce 'bisuits'.. I told him that I dont pronounce it as 'bis-quits'. He told me that word is pronounced diff'rently here in Manila and he finds it funny. :)

I am pure tagalog (bulakenya po ako :D) and grew up here in Makati so I think I dont have difficulty of saying those words. My papa who is from Romblon and of course bisaya, says it as 'bis-kwit'. I wish I know how to speak bisaya and be fluent in it. I know some words but I cant even say a full sentence. :(

:)

[jam07]

Yes I 100% do :xxgrinning--00xx3:
My sweethearts "pried chickin" is sooo cute ;) :cwm12:


... we were talking about what he is planning to eat for breakfast, I told him that I like 'sinangag' for breakfast. He asked me what that is, he heard of 'sinigang' before but not 'sinangag' so I told him that sinangag is fried rice and then he said 'pried rice!' lol! :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

i think English accent is :xxgrinning--00xx3: but my husband mumbles a lot :icon_lol:

[South-east boy]

Well Suzie is definitely getting used to my accent as now she hardly has to ask me to repeat things! I mentioned to her about 'biscuits' and she says it correctly but said that she has to say it 'bisquits' for the older people like her grandma!

[Piamed]

I went to the shops looking for kok-wa, "the one you can use to make cakes and or a hot drink". Now I know we pronounce it koe-koe, it makes no sense to me. Kok-wa sounds much more sensible.
