| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Juan's post. |
| Camille: Ako dapat ang representative natin sa Olympics! |
| Eric: "I should be our representative to the Olympics!" |
| Camille: (SLOW) Ako dapat ang representative natin sa Olympics! (Regular) Ako dapat ang representative natin sa Olympics! |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I should." |
| Camille: Ako dapat |
| Eric: Use this expression when you want to suggest that you should be the one performing an action. Filipinos are not at all shy in social media and will often jokingly brag about themselves or volunteer themselves to do things. Especially if someone fails in a competition, or something similar, their social media friends would often jokingly say something along those lines, to break the ice and to lighten the mood. Listen again- "I should" is... |
| Camille: (SLOW) Ako dapat (REGULAR) Ako dapat |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "be our representative in the Olympics." |
| Camille: ang representative natin sa Olympics |
| Eric: The Olympics is a very popular event in the Philippines. Many Filipinos are waiting for the Philippines to get its first ever gold medal in the Olympics. So far, the Philippines has a total of 102 medals for the summer games, but no gold medals. Listen again- "be our representative in the Olympics" is... |
| Camille: (SLOW) ang representative natin sa Olympics (REGULAR) ang representative natin sa Olympics |
| Eric: All together, "I should be our representative to the Olympics!" |
| Camille: Ako dapat ang representative natin sa Olympics! |
