Here's a thought Leah........Perhaps they meant to say Tubig and they got the Kape wrong....😄

Hi Leah,

Thank you for your comment! That's right, kape means coffee thus uminom ng kape means drink coffee. Thank you for helping us improve the website! Salamat.

I'm confused. Under the verb 'inom' in the examples the sentence says the wowman drank 'kape'- which is Tagalog for coffee isn't it? But the translation says that "the woman drank 'water'".

I like the selection of basic words. What would be helpful, if the words were put into sentences that I would actually use.
