@nenabunena In what language were you taught in your schools?

[nenabunena]

@Qcumber como esta is spanish, it was filipinised to kamusta - this is common knowledge. If you study languages & the acquisition of foreign words, most lborrowed words are changed phonetically to adopt to the locale. This is true for english, japanese, filipino & every other language. No1 uses kumusta in my understanding, i went to private schooling from nursery until college & post graduate studies, everyone uses 'kamusta', not kumusta. If ur an educated filipino, you should know this

[Qcumber]

@nenabunena Spanish 'como esta usted?" (how are you?) was tagalized as 'kumustá ka?" (same). The "kamustá" form developed later among illiterate people.

@Qcumber it's spelled kumusta? officially it's spelled as 'kamusta', your dictionary is wrong. i went to private schooling & 'kamusta' is the right spelling. the 1 who made your dictionary is probably uneducated

great stuff!

the song was so funny :D

hehehe

[jivanmedia]

sorry but i use kamusta instead we must remember languages evolve and its not the dictionary that dictates its actually the other way around the dictionary records usage obviously the dictionary you are using is a bit out dated i guess... :P since we borrowed it from "como esta" does it mean we are uneducated as compared to the Spaniards? then the latins are the uneducated greeks the spaniards, the uneducated latins etc., it all depends on the point of view im an uneducated "kamusta" user ;-)
