| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 12 - Restaurants: Choosing a seat in Filipino. |
| Today, we'll cover getting a table in the section of the restaurant you want. In the Philippines, smoking in restaurants is still accepted, but there are occasions when you can ask for a non-smoking seat. Or, perhaps you would like a smoking seat. Either way, let's cover that first. |
| Now, remember, when you enter a restaurant, you'll hear "Welcome." This will likely be followed by one of the following: |
| "Non-smoking," in Filipino is Bawal ang paninigarilyo. |
| Bawal ang paninigarilyo. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Bawal ang paninigarilyo. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Bawal ang paninigarilyo. |
| The first word Bawal means "forbidden." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Bawal. |
| Bawal. |
| This is followed by Ang, which in English is "the." |
| Ang. |
| And Ang. |
| It is followed by Paninigarilyo, which means "smoking." |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Paninigarilyo. |
| Let's hear it one more time: Paninigarilyo |
| Now, all together, let's break down the phrase: Bawal ang paninigarilyo. |
| Bawal ang paninigarilyo. |
| "Smoking" is Puwedeng manigarilyo. |
| Puwedeng manigarilyo. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Puwedeng manigarilyo. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Puwedeng manigarilyo. |
| The first word, Puwedeng has no direct English equivalent. |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Puwedeng. |
| Puwedeng. |
| It is followed by Manigarilyo, which in English is "smoking." |
| Manigarilyo. |
| And Manigarilyo. |
| Now, all together, let's break down the phrase and hear it one more time: Puwedeng manigarilyo. |
| Puwedeng manigarilyo. |
| You may answer in English either "smoking" or "non-smoking," depending on your choice because Filipinos don't use the Filipino way of asking these questions. English is widely spoken in the Philippines and you might even hear the terms "non-smoking" and "smoking." |
| So, basically, when you enter a restaurant, you will hear the phrases "Non-smoking" and "Smoking." But, if you are feeling adventurous, try the Filipino words. A little bit of the language will go such a long way! |
