Hi Graham,

My wife says it means:
"Girl, how's our foreigner?"

ahem....... mztah na pala ang kano nato dai????

"how's your foreigner, girl?"

[grahamw48]

Many thanks !

I will continue my investigations.

[lovelyme]

are u a cop or secret agent? LOL

btw, the "kano" word is a shortened term for Amerikano (Tagalog word) or American. the one who said that must have mistaken you as an American maybe coz of your white complexion

are u a cop or secret agent? ........

The chances of tricking a secret agent into telling you the truth are very slim.
Secret agents are after all, very secretive.

Yes, that's the bit I did understand...hence my curiosity about the rest.

Not a case of me being mistaken for anyone though.

Comments left on young lady's pictures can be quite revealing.

It won't get me a rep, but I did translate this for you Graham, now two talented filipinas have posted before I could reply ...all I can add is that "mztah" is colloquial for "kumusta" ("how are you" in Tagalog and Cebuano)

[grahamw48]

Cheers doc.

That IS useful to know actually. It's hard enough to understand Tagalog anyway, but combine it with 'text-speak' and...

I don't like it when people call me "kano"
I say "No, Ingles!"
They say "Ahhhhh, O. K."
