Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 30 - "How do you say this in Filipino?"
In today's lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase that will provide you with the tools to learn from the people around. A dictionary is a great idea, but don't forget that you can use Filipino or Tagalog to learn in a more fun and interactive way.
For today's lesson, we're going to need a word, as we're going to cover "How do you say (something) in Filipino?" For today's lesson, let's use "car" for that something.
In Filipino, "How do you say 'car' in Filipino?" is Ano sa Tagalog ang "car"?
Ano sa Tagalog ang "car"?
Let's break it down by syllable: Ano sa Tagalog ang "car"?
Now, let's hear it once again: Ano sa Tagalog ang "car"?
The first word Ano means "what."
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Ano.
And, Ano.
This is followed by Sa, which in English is "in."
Sa.
And, Sa.
Followed by Tagalog, which is another term for Filipino.
Let’s break it down by syllable: Tagalog.
Let’s hear it one more time: Tagalog.
Followed by Ang, which means "the."
Let’s hear it again, one more time: Ang.
And then followed by something. And in today's lesson, we have used "car."
So, to recap here, we have Ano sa tagalong ang "car"? Literally, this means "What is 'car' in Tagalog/Filipino?" For the record, "car" in Filipino is Sasakyan.
You can also use this expression without saying any English. To accomplish this, you can use the expression "How do you say this in Filipino?" In Filipino, "this" is Ito.
Let's break it down by syllable: Ito.
Now, let's hear it once again: Ito.
So, in Filipino, "How do you say this in Filipino?" is Ano ito sa Tagalog?
Ano ito sa Tagalog?
Let's break it down by syllable: Ano ito sa Tagalog?
Now, let's hear it once again: Ano ito sa Tagalog?
The first word Ano means "what."
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Ano.
And, Ano.
This is followed by Ito, which in English is "this."
Ito.
Ito.
And, Ito.
Followed by Sa, which means "in."
Let’s hear it again: Sa.
And then, followed by Tagalog, which is the Filipino term for the Filipino language.
So, to recap here, we have Ano ito sa Tagalog? Literally, this means "What is this in Tagalog?"
To ask how to say "How do you say that in Filipino?" simply substitute the word "that" that is Iyan for "this" or Ito. "How do you say that in Filipino?" Ano iyan sa Tagalog?
Ano iyan sa Tagalog?
One more time: Ano iyan sa Tagalog?
