POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Brandon: In this lesson we are going to talk about the unique pastry or bakery products of the Philippines that they call…
Ice: Pandesal
Brandon: That's "bread of salt" or "salted bread."
Ice: Pandesal is the favorite breakfast and snack food of the Philippines.
Brandon: Almost all bakeries in the Philippines sell pandesal.
Ice: Yes, because you can't call yourself a Filipino bakery if you don't have pandesal!
Brandon: As you can guess from its name, pandesal has a salty taste and a soft texture.
Ice: It’s also small, most of the time just the size of your fist.
Brandon: But Filipinos love it a lot, and it's part of their culture.
Ice: That’s right!
Brandon: Okay, now let’s move on to the vocab.

KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES
Brandon: Let’s take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Ice: First word is hugis. It's a noun that means "shape".
Brandon: Let’s give our listeners an example.
Ice: Hugis puso ang bato.
Brandon: That's "The rock is heart-shaped."
Ice: Yes, that’s correct.
Brandon: Can we have an example of it in a question?
Ice: Anong hugis ang bato?
Brandon: That's "What’s the shape of the rock?"
Ice: The second word that we’re going to talk about is ng. This is an article unique to the Filipino language.
Brandon: It’s used all throughout Filipino grammar.
Ice: That’s right. The word ng generally comes before, or introduces, nouns and adjectives.
Brandon: Let’s have an example. Put it before a noun.
Ice: Tumugtog ka ng piano.
Brandon: That's "Play the piano." Let’s give another example this time, put it before an adjective.
Ice: Kumain siya ng masarap na mangga.
Brandon: That's "She ate a delicious mango."
Ice: The last word is mukha, which is the equivalent of the adjective "looks like" or "looks."
Brandon: However, when it’s used as a noun, it means "a face". How about an example?
Ice: Mukha siyang bata.
Brandon: That's "She looks young." Let’s give another one.
Ice: Mukha akong mataba.
Brandon: meaning “I look fat.” Okay, now lets move onto the grammar.
GRAMMAR POINT
Brandon: In this lesson you’ll learn how to talk about shapes in Filipino. How do we say "circle"?
Ice: Bilog
Brandon: "square."
Ice: parisukat.
Brandon: "rectangle"?
Ice: parihaba.
Brandon: "triangle"?
Ice: Tatsulok
Brandon: How about some less traditional shapes. Like "oblong."?
Ice: biluhaba is the old way of saying it, but now a’days we just say oblong.
Brandon: "star"?
Brandon: bituin
Brandon: "diamond shape"?
Ice: That will be hugis dyamante.
Brandon: "heart shape"?
Ice: hugis puso.
Brandon: Okay, so how do we ask the shape of an object?
Ice: We use the phrase Anong hugis ito?
Brandon: That is "What shape is this?" How do we answer the question?
Ice: We use the sentence pattern (Hugis + [the shape] + ang + [the object])
Brandon: Okay, let’s say, "The table is square."
Ice: Hugis parisukat ang mesa.
