Scuptus Poe Speaks Some Tagalog 001

Well, I actually used magandang hapon... There was an older fillipino brother at jimmy's house and I said... "Magandang hapon" apparently close to correct... but i forgot the honorific 'po' So I was corrected...

the propper phrase to be said to an older person is :

Magandang hapon po.

to which he replied

Salamat

Sculptus Poe remembers some words 002

Here are some words (and perhaps phrases) that i think i remember from BYKI... but i keep forgetting some of them

my memory is slipperier than a greased eel... for some reason i can't remember magandang for anything... and when i remember it i say it wrong... gads.. but here they are... perhaps its cheating because I just did the byki a few minutes ago... but oh well




magandang umaga - Good morning
magandang hapon - good evening
magandang gabi - good night

Ginang - Mrs.
Ginoong - Mr.

for some reason I can't bring myself to say anyting in tagalog to somebody who actually knows it.. same thing with japanese or spanish...the other day i was ording midnights (media noches) from the mexican store in clewiston... I couldhave ordered in spanish.. (and everybody talked to me as if i knew spanish... perhaps i look latino) ... but I played the gringo no hablo espanole card and just stared at them funny...though sometimes i attack somebody who most probably doesnt know these languages with random phrases just to confuse them... perhaps its a disease
