| Matt: That’s true, it’s really useful to know. |
| Ice: The conversation takes place at a house early in the morning between two friends. |
| Matt: They are very close, so they'll be using informal Filipino. All right! Let’s listen to the conversation. |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Ice: Did you know that the Philippines has only two seasons because it’s a tropical country? |
| Matt: And those two seasons are the dry and wet seasons, right? |
| Ice: That’s right! But when we say ‘dry season,’ it doesn’t mean that there’s no rain at all. |
| Matt: So what is considered to be the dry season then? |
| Ice: It's when the temperature is hotter, and there's less rainfall. |
| Matt: So I’m guessing that in the wet season, there are more rainy days than sunny days? |
| Ice: Yes, you got it! And the hottest months in the Philippines are normally from March to May. |
| Matt: How about the coolest months? |
| Ice: The coolest months are from November to January. |
| Matt: That’s good to know! It should help you plan your trip to the Philippines, listeners! |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Matt: Let’s take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Ice: The First word is “lagay.” |
| Matt: This means “condition” as in the condition of an object. For example, the question “What is his condition now?” can be expressed as… |
| Ice: Ano na ang lagay niya? |
| Matt: Moving on with the next word, we have the noun… |
| Ice: “panahon,” which means "weather." In other cases, “panahon” can also mean “time” or a “period of time.” |
| Matt: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Ice: Sure. “Mabuti ang panahon ngayon” |
| Matt: It means “The weather is good today.” And what’s the last word? |
| Ice: “maulan” |
| Matt: This is an adjective meaning “rainy.” |
| Matt: How do you say “It was rainy here yesterday” in Filipino using this word? |
| Ice: That’s Maulan dito kahapon. |
| Matt: Okay! Now let’s move onto the grammar. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Matt: In this lesson, you’ll learn how to talk about the weather. Let’s learn some of the basic weather conditions. Firstly, “sunny” in Filipino is… |
| Ice: maaraw (slow) maaraw |
| Matt: How about "rainy"? |
| Ice: maulan (slow) maulan |
| Matt: "windy" is? |
| Ice: mahangin (slow) mahangin |
| Matt: what about "hot"? |
| Ice: mainit (slow) mainit |
| Matt: what about "cold"? |
| Ice: malamig (slow) malamig |
| Matt: What about humid? |
| Ice: mahalumigmig (slow) mahalumigmig |
| Matt: lastly "dry" will be… |
| Ice: tuyo (slow) tuyo |
| Matt: All right! Now that we know these words, what phrase should you use to ask about the weather? |
| Ice: You can use the phrase “Ano ang lagay ng panahon?” |
| Matt: Which literally means “What is the weather condition?” |
| Ice: That’s right. If you want to add a specific time, you can add the time ordinal at the end of the phrase. |
| Matt: So if I want to ask “What will be the weather conditions for tomorrow?” that is… |
| Ice: Ano ang lagay ng panahon bukas. |
| Matt: Now what if I want to specify a place, for example, “What are the weather conditions in the Philippines?” |
| Ice: Start with: “Ano ang lagay ng panahon.” Then you add the phrase “sa + place”. |
| Matt: So the sentence altogether is... |
| Ice: Ano ang lagay ng panahon sa Pilipinas. |
| Matt: Now what if I want to ask about a particular place and a specified time? Something like “What will the weather conditions be in the Philippines tomorrow?” |
| Ice: Start with “ano ang lagay ng panahon.” then just add the time ordinal and the phrase “sa + place”. The order of the place and time doesn’t matter. |
| Matt: So the question “What will the weather conditions be in the Philippines tomorrow?” is… |
| Ice: Ano ang lagay ng panahon sa Pilipinas bukas. or “Ano ang lagay ng panahon bukas sa Pilipinas” |
| Matt: So then how can you respond to this kind of question? |
| Ice: If you simply want to state the weather conditions for a specific time, you use the pattern [weather condition + time]. |
| Matt: So if it’s going to be rainy tomorrow, you say… |
| Ice: “maulan bukas” maulan means “rainy” which is the weather condition, and bukas means “tomorrow.” |
| Matt: What if you’re asked about the weather in a particular place? |
| Ice: For that we use the pattern [weather condition + sa + place] |
| Matt: So if it’s rainy in the Philippines you say… |
| Ice: Maulan sa Pilipinas. |
| Matt: Ok, and what if you were asked about the weather condition of a particular place for a specified time, something like our example “What will the weather conditions be in the Philippines tomorrow?” |
| Ice: You can say the word for the weather condition first, followed by sa, then the place you want to say, and finally the time expression. again the time ordinal, and place can be in any order. |
| Matt: So if it’s going to be rainy in the Philippines tomorrow you say… |
| Ice: Maulan sa Pilipinas bukas or Maulan bukas sa Pilipinas. |
