| Jay: In other words, "er-fath" and "er-moth," respectively. And because the sound for "f" usually becomes "p", in Filipino, the "fath" becomes "pat." |
| Becky : Now let's hear an example sentence. |
| Jay: [NORMAL] Ang erpat, tumatanda na. Ayaw ko na siyang magtrabaho kaya magsisikap ako para pwede na siyang mag retiro. [SLOW] Ang erpat, tumatanda na. Ayaw ko na siyang magtrabaho kaya magsisikap ako para pwede na siyang mag retiro. |
