| 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. |

| Brandon: "diamond shape"? |
| Ice: That will be hugis dyamante. |
| Brandon: "heart shape"? |

| Brandon: Okay, so how do we ask the shape of an object? |
