| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Brandon: Let’s take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Ice: The first word is pamilya. |
| Brandon: Which means “family”. |
| Ice: The word pamilya is a noun that is used by both men and women in the Philippines. |
| Brandon: Can you give us an example? |
| Ice: Mahal ko ang pamilya ko. |
| Brandon: That would be "I love my family." |
| Ice: We can also say Malaki ang pamilya namin. |
| Brandon: That's "We have a big family." |
| Ice: The second word that we’re going to talk about is ate. |
| Brandon: The word ate is an noun that refers to an "older sister." |
| Ice: But in daily conversation, ate is used to refer to any woman whose name is unknown to the speaker, like "miss" in English. |
| Brandon: How about an example. First, a sentence where it means "miss". |
| Ice: Ate, magkano po ito? |
| Brandon: “Miss, how much is this?" How about using it to refer to an older sister? |
| Ice: Maganda ang ate ko. |
| Brandon: Which is "My older sister is beautiful." |
| Ice: The final word that we’re going to talk about is kuya. |
| Brandon: The noun, kuya means an "older brother." |
| Ice: However, the same as with ate, it can also be used to refer to any man whose name is unknown to the speaker, somewhat similar to a "mister." |
| Brandon: Let’s give an example. First, using it as an "older brother." |
| Ice: Matalino ang kuya ko. |
| Brandon: "My older brother is smart". So how about using it to refer to an anonymous man? |
| Ice: We could say Kuya, nasaan po ang simbahan? |
| Brandon: "Mister, where is the church?" Okay, now onto the grammar. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Brandon: In this lesson, you’ll learn how to talk about family in Filipino. First, Let’s learn the words for each family member in Filipino. |

| Brandon: How about "younger brother?" |
| Ice: Filipino uses a different phrase than Ate and Kuya, and the same phrase is used for both "younger brother" and "younger sister." |
| Brandon: Ok, so what is it? |
| Ice: It's nakababatang kapatid. |
| Brandon: Again? |
