... 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 ) 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. :(
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!
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.
Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!
