Thanks very much, Bud, for the videos!!! I am learning alot from them! Can you please spell the last Tagalog phrase you mention in this video on "it'sn really hard"? I missed that.
@FAllingMemories25 Yes this has been pointed out to me many times in the comments and this is my response: Yes, I later learned that "matapang" means "brave" BUT in the context "Matapang ka sa akin!"..to translate "You're brave to me" just seems very awkward and really doesn't make sense in English...So I took liberties with the translation.
sir, i have a question. I dont know where I should add the word e in a sentence like you did. i am 14 years old and i am also learning tagalog with your videos. salamat po.
@SaiyanAko First, thanks for learning Tagalog. The sound "e" is never necessary. It is just a sound that some areas of the Philippines use for emphasis. My wife says it a lot. Since she's my model of speaking, I use it a lot. It's mostly for emphasis. In English we sometimes add the word "really" for emphasis. For example: I should go. I REALLY should go. The word "really" is not necessary, just like the sound "e" at the end of a sentence is not "really" necessary. Hope this helps.
Just something sir, I don't know if it has been mentioned already but "tapang" means brave or courageous. So "matapang ka" means "you're brave/ courageous". We use "Masama ka" for "you're mean" or "you're bad". Anyway, appreciate the video. I have a friend who really wants to learn tagalog. I'm a fluent speaker but my problem is that I could not teach it so I'm watching your video as a teaching aid. Great job!
@Wingcapt4 Yes, I later learned that "matapang" means "brave" but in the context "Matapang ka sa akin!"..to translate "You're brave to me" just seems very awkward..So I took liberties with the translation..Thanks for your helpful and kind comments.
@EspenErsvik wow! Great observation! Do you know how English can have one word with two meanings? (Example bear= an animal or "I can't bear it any longer") Same with some Tagalog constructions. You found one: Nakaka = to make one (hungry, tired, etc. ALSO NAKAKAintindi. I CAN understand. Hope this helps.
I dont know how to explain it in terms of adjective-noun-adverb. haha sorry, but if you say it like that: Ang (root word of adjective) ng (noun) (optional possesive noun). But you can also say: Matigas ang ulo mo. :)
@troooy88 Thank you for your helpful comments. After making the video I later learned that "matapang" literally means "brave" but in the phrase "Matapang ka sa akin!" The translation "You're brave to me!" just doesn't sound right in English. That's why I loosely translated it as "You're mean to me!"
i am studying french right now and it is hard if you just rely on the books and cd's because written language is very much different from spoken language.
btw, I don't think "matapang ka sa akin" is also right in tagalog. I think what you meant was "Mas matapang ka kaysa sa akin" (take note of the addition of MAS-KAYSA). It means, You are braver than me.
@troooy88 Yes, I understand what you're saying. All the words and phrases I'm teaching have come from my Filipina wife. Since she is Cebuana, she may not be speaking Tagalog correctly. I appreciate your comments.
I'm just watching this 2nd video (the 1st convinced me in no time that you were a serious teacher, with a great accent)... and i don't know much about tagalog (I've just bought and downloaded a couple of methods)
These last 2 days, I've familiarized myself with basic expressions and I never saw the "E" word you put at the end of your sentences. Is it the same as "AY" (but spelled differently) or is it specific to exclamative sentences?
@chickencharlie The "e" that you hear is a kinda of "street talk accent". I doubt you'll learn that in a formal course. Kinda the difference between "How are you today, sir?" and "Hey, how's it goin'?" The first you'll learn in a book. The second you'll learn on the street.
@chickencharlie hi! "Ay" can be exclamatory, like "Ay, mainit!" = Oh, (it's) hot!.
it can also be part of what we call 'di-karaniwang pangungusap' (uncommon sentence). In tagalog, you can say or describe things in two way. Normally, you say "Maganda ka."(You're beautiful). However you can also say "Ikaw ay maganda / Ika'y maganda". It means the same thing, but the latter one will make you sound too 'old school' and too romantic. Not a very common way to say. :)
Im using your video to teach my daughter how to speak tagalog.I dont know why she does'nt want to learn ut i have to ensist coz i know it will help her down the road..Thank you Sir for your videos..
im not trying to be rude but is the reason why your always waiting on your wife is that shes still on filipino time cuz when i lived in lower Mindanao i was always early and i was always wondering why every one else was l8 for things my fiancee and her family always told me cuz they are on filipino time thats why they show up l8 most filipino show up l8 they said also the vid is nice it helped me find out why words was alittle different at times im learning with rosettastone it dont show that ty
@MagicMaximo Okej, i think its funny when they say e in almost every sentence. My ate is from batangas so i thought that your wife was from batangas as well. Im learning tagalog so my ate can understand me a little better and that i can understand her. So your videos are really good and i have learned alot! Thank you
@FantasyLizz Thanks for your kind comments. You know, language learning students usually just follow the accent from their environment, so, since I've been married 39 years I naturally speak like my wife. Good luck with your Tagalog and I'm glad you're enjoying the vids.
Nice lesson! By the way I would like to correct you on the Matapang part. Matapang means brave not mean, perhaps the word you are looking for is Masungit, Sungit = mean. Amazing lessons!
@pinoyako2829 Thank you for your comments. Yes, later learned that I just assumed the meaning from the context. I later learned that Matapang means Brave, but in the context It seemed weird that she would say "You're brave to me." (Matapang ka sa akin!) I guess it loses something in the translation.
@MagicMaximo i undersand what kuya buds wanted to say about matapang....matapang can be translated in different way depends on the way it is being used.
@4to9iron - Why don't you get something better to do than talk shit on peoples comments? He's doing a wonderful thing by teaching others who want to learn the tagalog language!Keep your comments to yourself, and come to think of it.. how about YOU go shoot yourself!!
Sorry for cussing on this post MagicMaximo, but this person is by far more ignorant than I.
Tapang means brave not mean. "Ma-tapang ka" could be translated to" You're brave." Perhaps, the word you're looking for in tagalog is sama. Ma+sama=Masama. You're mean.
I did life in Pilipinas for three years and by turnings of live now my mom is married to a filipino,and I really wanna learn more,I can understand a lot but I wanna speak a lot too lol hey why everyone make critics about this guy?is so nice of him and I couldn't find a filipino taking hes time to put this videos on youtube,ofcourse saw some but not like this gentleman by the way you have earn a costa rican tourist guide for free if you ever come around here sir.
LOL . Hehehe . You made me laugh with this , "MALAMIG KA BA?" Hahaha . Hindi ako yelo o halo-halo para maging malamig . Kung balak mong magtanong kung ano ang temperatura o pakiramdam ng isang tao ay dapat sabihin mo na "NILALAMIG KA BA?" Pero MAGALING ! MAGALING ! Ipagpatuloy ang magandang simulain ! -saludo-
haha maybe ur wrong gramming when u already added the word e...change the e to "naman"example :ang lamig naman=meaning .....um...u dont like to be cold....or whatever...it is better to use naman than e...becuz "e" acts like ur impatient....yea...
matapang isnt...mean..haha it means brave...we have no actually specific word for mean....sometimes we use exactly the word mean...lol...im a filipino so i speak tagalog all the time..so i know some of the words were wrong
Siguro ang eskpresyong "eh" ay ang pakiramdam nang ginagamit sa mga Asyano kasi laging ako naririnig ng mga Hapones atsaka ang mga Koreano ng sinasabi'ng "eh" sa huling pangungusap nila. o.O
I hope you understood that guys. It feels so good to speak in Tagalog again. Err... I would speak it, but actually typing it. I'm trying to speak it again so I don't forget it. xD
But anyway, your videos are very helpful MagicMaximo, keep it up! :)
Hey Bud. I really enjoy learning tag from you. I know you may not have it completely always 100% but after trying to learn it online for some time, i finally can put what I have learned through reading and listening to it to see if i have pronouced it correctly. Thank you.
In some areas of the country this sound at the end of a sentence is used for emphasis., but it's not necessary. An example in English would me MAN in:
I'd have to disagree. Tagalog is a difficult language to learn. The language keeps evolving into different slangs, our elders don't even know what the youngsters are talking about sometimes. Haha.
Yes, I understand. You're saying I speak too much slang and I shouldn't teach like that. My question to you is why I shouldn't teach slang? People want to learn how to understand and speak the way other people really talk.
Yes, Matapang does literally mean "brave", but to translate "Matapang ka sa akin" as "You're brave to mean." doesn't really make sense in English. So I just took the meaning "You're mean to me" out of the context. Thanks for your comments.
hmm, ok this was always a question i was wondering. what is the difference between mo, and ka? like, if you say maganda ka, can't you also say ang maganda mo? idk, i'm confused.
if u put the word "ANG" u can use "MO"..like for example : Ang ganda mo"...but if u dont want to use the word "ANG" you should use "KA"..like for example "maganda ka" see how the word ANG was gone...lol....i hope this will help.....
u pwn, my friend speaks tagalog, and when i spoke some words to him for the first time he almost choked, i hope to learn from you and then him to speak taglog. Subbed!
Thanks!!You're video really helps.I combine you lessons with a Tagalog grammer website and make thing's easier to understand..My wife wants me learn bisayas, but I think it easier to learn Tagalog.I looking forward to learning more from you.
Yes, It means, "brave", but that doesn't make sense in this context. Why don't you give constructive comments instead of insults? I could say you're an idiot because you can't spell, but I won't.
true.. talaga comes up tons of times. just like 'ano' .. and .. um. oh shoot there was one, but im forgetting it... maybe itll come back. anyway, your accent is kinda funny, but i shouldnt be talking i have the strongest american accent ever when i speak tagalog... which is why i mainly dont :D however, good for you! posting up 15-something vids of tagalog talking. i could never do it :)
just saying, there IS a connection between the spanish word and tagalog words salvaje and salbahe...
the philippines originated as a spanish colony i think, or something like that, but anyway, a lot of filipino words and spanish words are similar. if you do a little research it'll all make sense.
Very true! I am studying Spanish right now (1st year) and I am doing better than my American classmates. Filipino accents have almost the same with the Spanish, giving us the advantage of learning Spanish.
Thanks for your kind and helpful comments. Yes, from the context "Matapang ka sa akin,a!", I just assumed it meant "mean" because "brave" really doesn't make sense in English, oh well. And I did mess up on the spelling of "talaga." Thanks for the corrections. That's the way I learn.
If you wanna say "The table is hard." Matigas ang mesa." "Your head is hard"= Matigas ang ulo mo. Even though you're talking about YOUR head, you still say "Matigas ANG ulo mo." The phrase "Matigas na." means It's hard NOW. Clear as mud?
hello po! salamat sa tulong mo akoy arabo and im trying to learn tagalog but im having a very hard time with mga nga and some other words come with "ng" in the middle.. can you plaese make a video and teach us how to pronounce them .. salamat po in advance!
you know dude, saying the world "ang tigas-tigas talaga e!" have a double meaning in our country nowadays--especially the way you will pronounce it! LmAo!
Thanks very much, Bud, for the videos!!! I am learning alot from them! Can you please spell the last Tagalog phrase you mention in this video on "it'sn really hard"? I missed that.

Yes, Matapang does literally mean "brave", but to translate "Matapang ka sa akin" as "You're brave to mean." doesn't really make sense in English. So I just took the meaning "You're mean to me" out of the context. Thanks for your comments.

hmm, ok this was always a question i was wondering. what is the difference between mo, and ka? like, if you say maganda ka, can't you also say ang maganda mo? idk, i'm confused.
alexalcantaraa 2 years ago
if u put the word "ANG" u can use "MO"..like for example : Ang ganda mo"...but if u dont want to use the word "ANG" you should use "KA"..like for example "maganda ka" see how the word ANG was gone...lol....i hope this will help.....

Yes, It means, "brave", but that doesn't make sense in this context. Why don't you give constructive comments instead of insults? I could say you're an idiot because you can't spell, but I won't.
YOUR = possessive
YOU'RE = you are

There are also the words MAS and NAPAKA. For example,
"Napakainit dito." = "It's very hot here."
"Napakalamig dito." = "It's very cold here."
"Napakatigas ng ulo mo!" = "You are very hard headed!"
"Mas mainit dito kaysa doon." = "It's hotter in here than over there."
"Mas malamig dito kaysa doon." = "It's colder here than over there."
"Mas matigas ang ulo mo kaysa sa akin."= LITERALLY "Your head is harder than mine." = "You are more hard-headed (stubborn) than I am."
Good Luck!

true.. talaga comes up tons of times. just like 'ano' .. and .. um. oh shoot there was one, but im forgetting it... maybe itll come back. anyway, your accent is kinda funny, but i shouldnt be talking i have the strongest american accent ever when i speak tagalog... which is why i mainly dont :D however, good for you! posting up 15-something vids of tagalog talking. i could never do it :)

just saying, there IS a connection between the spanish word and tagalog words salvaje and salbahe...
the philippines originated as a spanish colony i think, or something like that, but anyway, a lot of filipino words and spanish words are similar. if you do a little research it'll all make sense.

Very true! I am studying Spanish right now (1st year) and I am doing better than my American classmates. Filipino accents have almost the same with the Spanish, giving us the advantage of learning Spanish.

Just to add more info:
matapang means brave or strong not mean. :)
And also talaga is spelled as tAlaga, not tElaga..
I like how you said "Ang tagal-tagal mo." You said it with feelings.
Keep on making these videos. I'm lovin' it.. :)
"Ang galing mong magsalita ng tagalog. Ipagpatuloy mo lang ang paggawa ng mga video katulad nito. Maraming salamat. Paalam." :)

Thanks for your kind and helpful comments. Yes, from the context "Matapang ka sa akin,a!", I just assumed it meant "mean" because "brave" really doesn't make sense in English, oh well. And I did mess up on the spelling of "talaga." Thanks for the corrections. That's the way I learn.

You're really welcome. I'm just so happy that you are eager to learn our language and I want to help you with it.
Anyway, did someone tell you "matapang ka sa akin, a!"? My mother always says that to my dad.. haha!! It's so funny when they argue. :)
Happy Holidays! Keep those videos coming.

Should it be matigas na, or is matigas 'ang' correct? These particles are making me crazy.
poetswolf1985 3 years ago
If you wanna say "The table is hard." Matigas ang mesa." "Your head is hard"= Matigas ang ulo mo. Even though you're talking about YOUR head, you still say "Matigas ANG ulo mo." The phrase "Matigas na." means It's hard NOW. Clear as mud?
