Language Misunderstandings

[bigtombowski]

Sometimes Mar will say something that is "Filipino English" and i don't have a clue about . . . . and i gotta ask "what did u mean:?" lol!

I just wanted to ask the community .. . .

What Weird Things Has Your Wife/Girlfriend/Fiancee/Boyfriend/Husband said that has caused you to go :Erm::Erm::Erm::Erm: ??

I look forward to hearing some funnies!

Cant think of the crazy sayings the missus says at the moment. But now the missus has been here two years she now sometimes starts speaking in a west london gangsta stylee, but with a phill twang which just sounds umm bizzare:Erm:

[bigtombowski]

haha! i can only imagine! i have a friend who is from malaysia but lives in ealing and she always says "IZZIT" lol, ive deduced that this is a peculiarly london saying! lol!

[andypaul]

Izzit, init both drive me crazy.

[bigtombowski]

i heard rather a lot of "innit" when i lived in Pakist . .. oops, i mean Birmingham! lol!

in fact my ex-gal used to say "innit" a lot along with her ebonic slang!

drives me ballistic

[bigtombowski]

i thought this would be a thread that would have at least a few funny things on it! LoL!

I was WRONG! LoL!

alan,

[andypaul]

The hubbys too scared to say anything.

One thing i wondered is why all phills seem to say coz instead of because either in writing or speech.

The missus confuses the hell out of the tesco checkout ladies by saying "plastics" for carrier bag.

in the chippie the missus asks for a codfish and potato chips which threw the people behind the counter the first few times she asked for it.

Also in a resturant the boss was waiting for the food while i paid for it in a cafe and the assitant looked baffled so i asked if everything ok the wife said "he can't find the spag"

[Alan]

First time Hanna said 'I need a load' - I thought my luck was in there!!!!!!!

Bloody mobile phones!!!!!!!!! :bigcry:

[bigtombowski]

U might be glad to wake up if its her buckla friend:icon_lol:

[bigtombowski]

most of her friends are seriously gwapa and hey .. . helll gwapo too! LoL! ;)

[andypaul]

Although its also used by our yankie doodle friends, when the missus starts talking about what pants to wear with your mates present who are all a little tipsy it can get strange.

[andypaul]

most of her friends are seriously gwapa and hey .. . helll gwapo too! LoL! ;)

[bigtombowski]

YES! all her friends are pretty gals and boys!

[richardandjenny]

jenny confused me for about a week asking for "plastic" for plastic bags:Cuckoo:

and shouting "load" at a shop keeper:Rasp:

otherwords are made up "mahaling" etc lol

[Shifty-Sidney]

Can you imagine a Fillipna in Barnsley!!!:yikes:

[KeithD]

I wouldn't want to imagine Barnsley for starters :rolleyes:

[silver13]

Anilyn said we need some new rubbers, I thought my luck was in too but turned out she was saying we need a new pair of trainers each :)

[silver13]

As in Tagalog there is no real work for He or She and there is no attempt to distinguise between male and female in most conversations, Anilyn still struggles saying things like "I have good news Mahal Ko, My Sister Michelle, He is Pregnant!!!!"

Hi Tom :) That good enough for ya mate, Iniit good? Been busy so not many posts for now, Anilyn will be here for the house inspection on Saturday :)

[Shifty-Sidney]

parky?

[Pepe n Pilar]

when you say you need load for your mobile it is the same as you need credits to your mobile

[Pepe n Pilar]

when you're in the Philippines and your gf or a friend says she wants to share a load with you - it means she is going to pass a load or credits from her mobile phone to your mobile phone by texting the amount needed and your mobile number. The filipio term is "pasa load"... ( Pass a load).

This is the common MISTAKE of filipina. When telling the stories they mix the HE & the SHE.:Erm::doh:Brick:
