I know Filipino english is far different from UK english. .there is an amazing variety of spelling , meaning,pronunciation, etc.
I know these differences can be both difficult to comprehend and confounding when trying to learn the language.
When i visited UK last year, i had a culture shock.(is there language shock?)I was shocked and amazed on how they say things and also the meaning.here are some:
1. Pantene- in the tv advert it was pronounced as pan ten
2. Backside- butt
3. Top up- as i understood it its like eload or prepaid
4. Take away- take out pala
5.Rubbish- trash or garbage
6.Trainers- sneakers or rubber shoes
7.Cupboard- any closet in the house
8. car boot sale- its like garage sale
9. Chemist- drugstore
10. Pharmacy- local doctor
11. Gum- glue
12.Holiday- vacation
13.Lift- elevator
14. Pram- like a big stroller
