| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Eric: So Ana is pretty happy in this lesson’s dialogue. |
| Camille: I think getting good grades is a good reason to be happy. |
| Eric: I agree. Are people generally happy in the Philippines? |
| Camille: Well, Filipinos do talk about serious things, but we generally like to make jokes to lighten the mood. |
| Eric: Even when bad things happen? |
| Camille: Especially when bad things happen! People smile and laugh easily, too. |
| Eric: Is it the kind of country where people smile at strangers? |
| Camille: Yeah, it is actually! We often smile to greet friends and strangers. |
| Eric: I like seeing smiling faces everywhere. |
| Camille: So when you’re in the Philippines, try to smile at everyone and have fun! |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Eric: Let's have a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Camille: mabuti ka pa |
| Eric: meaning "good for you" |
| Eric: What can you tell us about this phrase? |
| Camille: It consists of three words. The first word is the adjective mabuti, meaning “good” or “well”. The second word is the pronoun ka, which is the second person singular “you”. |
| Eric: And the third word? |
| Camille: It is the particle pa, which highlights and intensifies the meaning of the words used with it. |
| Eric: And together they mean “good for you”. |
| Camille: Right. We use this to express that the second person is in a better position than the speaker. |
| Eric: Can you give us an example using this phrase? |
| Camille: Sure. For example, you can say.. Mabuti ka pa tapos ka na sa trabaho mo. |
| Eric: ..which means "Good for you that you're already finished with your work.” Okay, what's the next word? |
| Camille: nasiyahan |
| Eric: meaning "satisfied,” or “felt happy" |
| Eric: What can you tell us about this? |
| Camille: This is a verb and it means “to be satisfied” or “to feel happiness”. |
| Eric: What more can you tell us about this verb? |
| Camille: Well, it comes from the noun saya, which means “happiness”. |
| Eric: Can you give us some other conjugations? |
| Camille: The past tense is nasiyahan and the future tense is masisiyahan. |
| Eric: What’s an example using this word? |
| Camille: For example, you can say.. Nasiyahan ka ba sa palabas? |
| Eric: .. which means "Were you satisfied with the play?" Okay, what's the next word? |
| Camille: lagot |
| Eric: meaning "to be in trouble" |
| Eric: When do we use this word? |
| Camille: We use it when we want to describe the situation of someone being in trouble for doing something. |
| Eric:Can it be used in both formal and informal situations? |
| Camille: Yes, and there is a polite form too, which is lagot po. |
| Eric: Can we have an example please? |
| Camille:You can say.. Lagot tayo nakalimutan nating magbayad! |
| Eric: .. which means "We are in trouble, we forgot to pay!" |
| Eric: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to describe feelings and emotions. |
| Eric: So, there was lots of talk about emotions in the dialogue. I think that’s a topic that often comes up in conversation. |
| Camille: I think so too. How are you feeling today, Eric? |
| Eric: Hmm, I’m happy. |
| Camille: To say that you’re happy in Filipino, we can use the word masaya, which means “happy.” To say “I’m happy now” is Masaya ako ngayon. |
| Eric: Can you break that sentence down for us? |
| Camille: Sure. The first is an adjective, in this case masaya, followed by the pronoun, ako. |
| Eric: How do I ask how someone is feeling? Like,”are you sleepy?” |
| Camille: The easiest way is to start with the adjective, then the pronoun, and finally ba. So “are you sleepy?” is inaantok ka ba? There’s a couple of other ways to say these things, so please check the lesson notes. |
| Eric: Yes listeners, always check the lesson notes! I’ve noticed a few times in these lessons that we’ve had verbs that are also adjectives. |
| Camille: Well spotted! Most of the emotion adjectives can be changed to verbs. |
| Eric: Can you give us some examples? |
| Camille: Let’s go back to happy, which is masaya as an adjective. “To be happy” is masiyahan. Or, the adjective “tired” is pagod, and the verb “to be tired” is mapagod. |
| Eric: They’re pretty similar. |
| Camille: Yeah, hopefully that makes it easier to remember them. |
| Eric: Can you give us an example of an emotion verb in a sentence? |
| Camille: Of course! Gusto kong masiyahan siya sa regalo ko. meaning “I want him to be happy with my gift”. Or “her”, as the pronoun used is gender neutral. |
| Eric: And finally for this lesson, let’s look at the past tense of these verbs. |
| Camille: These verbs that we just talked about use the MA affix. |
| Eric: So we have another affix! |
| Camille: Yes, and this is an actor-focused affix. It’s non-purposive, meaning usually no directed action. It denotes actions that are more or less involuntary and internal. |
| Eric: Like feelings! So how do we make it into past and future? |
| Camille: Let’s use “sad”. The root is lungkot, to make it a verb it becomes malungkot, present is nalulungkot, past is nalungkot and future is malulungkot. |
| Eric: How about a sentence? |
| Camille: Okay. The root noun for “cry” is iyak. So a sentence using the past tense is Naiyak siya nang marinig niya ang balita. Meaning “He cried when he heard the news”. |
Outro |
| Eric: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Camille: Hanggang sa muli! |
