Learning Tagalog

This is why Rosetta stone kinda sucks, and get's some bad reviews. In the 2nd picture with the horse, WTF? Are you looking at the horse/brown horse? The pink shirt? Feeding the horse? Also, I read that RS gives a lot of useless info, and not enough practical. If I visit the Philippines, I don't think I will be feeding many horses. A water buffalo maaaaybe. Is this an advanced course? I still don't know what was going on the in horse pic.

How do you like Rosetta Stone so far? Have you ever tried the Pimsleur courses? I heard they're pretty good, too. You might be able to find copies at your local library.

Why do you spend the first 20 seconds talking really retarded? Just show the program stupid.

I have been thinking about buying Rosetta Stone but haven't seen an actual demo of someone using it. This is very helpful and thank you for sharing! This gives me a much better idea of how it works.

[GisL]

P.S. you speak very well! I understand a little Tagalog but can't speak it very well at all (since my mom is Filipino).

ETO and HETO means the same. It's used when pointing to (or the location of) an object e.g. "Heto ang puting kotse." (Here's the white car.)

DITO is usually referring to a place e.g. "Dito ako nakatira." (I live here.) or "Dito kami naglalaro." (We play here.)

ITO means "this", it's not quite the same as ETO/HETO. "Pula ang kotseng ito." (This car is red.)

[bloffwaffel]

awsome! your so helpful haha.

[ygeegrey]

Ito -> Eto -> Heto. It's a derived word, that's why you didn't found it.

[bloffwaffel]

speaking of derived words i wonder if "dito" (tagalog for 'here' also) is where americans got the slang word "ditto" which means "same here" like "i have ten fingers" other guy says: "ditto"

[ygeegrey]

Not sure, but according from what I've

researched from Encarta: It was derived via Tuscan dialect variant of Italian detto "said" < Latin dictus, past participle of dicere "say".

[bloffwaffel]

wow i just looked it up too and it turns out its an actual word. i thought it was slang. well if you think about using it while talking in english remember that its totally unused and not taken seriously and alot of people dont know what it is. the word has an almost joke factor to it like you see in the movie ghost where the main character always said it after his girl said i love you to him so that way he could say it back without really saying i love you. thanks for the enlightenment.

Heto means "here".
