Higher pitched voice when talking to your Filipina Wife/Girlfriend

[RickyR]

OK, I hope i'm not alone in this. But whenever I speak to me fiance (actually in fact to any Filipina/Filipino), my voice seems to end up more higher pitched like hers. It really, really annoys me when I do it, and I usually notice it quite quickly and then speak normally again.
I wouldn't normally have admitted this, but a Swedish colleague was telling me that he's friend is married to a Filipina, and when speaking Swedish he speaks normally, but whenever he speaks English he speaks in a high pitched visa and with Filipino quirks.

Not me thank god,but in pinas a lot of people seem to mimic the sing-song speech pattern of their pinay partners,I noticed that a week or so ago,chatting to me my mate was a normal cockney as soon as we got back to his house I noticed straight away when chatting to his wife his voice rose and fell like a boat on a rough seaI watched "I love Betty La Fea"and noticed Armandos dad had the most irritating TV voice imaginable,first thing I noticed when watching UK TV is how normal it was without the hyped canned laughter,grabe OA acting,and every line delivered in a dramatic shout

We have different dialects and different accents with different pitches. From what part of Pinas she is?
In the Philippines, Ilonggo's accent is very soft. They are soft spoken, you cannot guess if they are angry or not.
Some part of Pinas speaks loud too.
I believe there's no bully filipina wife. Except if you did something very wrong.
Waray they said are very good people but never do bad against them and you'll find what you deserves (Am I right?)
I heard their song Waray waray handang matodas!

So far i've never experienced this with my hubby. He actually talks in a more softer and sweeter tone when talking to me as a sweet gesture or what we call in the PI as "lambing". Its me who get a higher pitch when upset or mad. And he just normally hugs me and speak to me softly to calm me down.

I have to tone down my 'scouse', otherwise Filipina's think I'm a Geordie

[Tawi2]

Your lucky Win,I am a geordie and get slightly peeved as Pinays always ask am I scottish or irish

[Arthur Little]

Aahh ... we, up here, have a saying that a Geordie "is a Scot with his/her head cut off ...!"

Actually, my father's brother was married to a 'Tynesider' and two of my cousins were born in South Shields - and still live there. Well no, to be more accurate, one now stays in Sunderland.

[Tawi2]

I was always told a Geordie was a brainless scot My family are originally from scotland anyway as is my surname,my cousin still has a croft in Caithness(desolate place).

The saying I heard is that a Geordie is a Scot who's had his brains kicked in!

[Tawi2]

Thats the one Iain
