I have a question regarding gender identity with words. Does this exist? Would a female say she is Filipina and a male say Filipino? I know this is how it is referred to in Spanish so, what about Filipino/Tagalog?

I have a new neighbor who just moved here (to the U.S.) from the Philipines. She told me that she speaks Tagalog or Filipino. I thought it would be fun to learn her language. Although she speaks english well, I thought it would be nice if she had someone to talk to, especially since she has no family here aside from her husband and five year old daughter. I am an American born Spaniard who speaks very little Spanish. However, since Filipino/Tagalog has it's roots from Spanish, I believe it would be somewhat easier to learn. Having her to talk to on a daily basis will make it easier for me to retain this language. We are all having fun with this. Her husband laughs at my American accent blended with the Filipino words. Really need to learn how to roll those "r's"!!😉

I am married to the most beautiful Queen, from the Philippines, my Stepdaughter.....leave out a step, is getting married and I hoping to try and give my father of the bride speech in Philippino. 😄

I am learning Filipino to help better understand the culture and language of my girlfriend. She is an OFW working in Dubai that I met on Facebook. We have plans for me to go there in August to meet.
