"making out in tagalog"
so, i’ve been on this mission to learn tagalog. yeah, i know, i’ve wanted to learn tagalog for quite a while, and every once in a while, i pick up a book or a language cd and i try to pick up some more phrases.
the most current book i’ve picked up, though, is pretty hilarious. i mean, the phrases it teaches are funny to me already, but then when you look at the order they’re put in the book, you pretty much realize, “making out in tagalog” is designed to help you “make out” with tagalog-speakers… or do a whole heckuvalot more!
here’s a few exerpts:
“have you been drinking a lot?” kanina ka pa ba umiinom?
“well, drink some more!” kung ganoon, inom pa!“i’ll take you home” ihahatid kita sa inyo
“do you want to come to my place?” nais mo bang pumunta sa aking tirahan?“turn off the light” patayin mo ang ilaw
“is this your first time?” ito ba ang iyong una?
“i don’t want to have a baby.” ayaw kong magkaanak
and the best 2 lines in this series:
“i don’t like to wear a condom” ayaw kong gumamit ng kondom
“if you don’t wear a condom, i won’t do it” kung hindi ka gagamit ng kondom, ayaw kong gawin ito
the next chapter had me rolling on the floor
“will you marry me?” pakakasalan mo ba ako
was followed up with the classic:
“will you come to america with me?” sasama ka ba sa akin sa amerika?
and yet, it gave multiple reasons to not get married, including
“i have another boyfriend” mayroon akong iban kasintahan
and “i’m already married” ako ay kasal na
it ends with some tips on how to break up with each other, but in case he keeps on trying, you can always tell him:
“i’m going to change my phone number” magpapalit ako ng numero ng telepono
and if you enjoyed this book, you can get a variety of books with the same phrases. they have this book available in chinese, korean, japanese, tagalog, indonesian, thai, and vietnamese.
can you say “asian fetish”?
I found myself about to attempt to vocalize some of those phrases, until I realized my mom was standing out in the hallway.
