| Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 31 - Learn to write in Filipino without lifting a pen. |
| In today's lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase that will provide you with the tools to learn from the people around. Now, a dictionary is a great idea, but don't forget that you can use Filipino to learn in a more fun and interactive way. Today, we're going to cover a way for you to hold on to the information you get. |
| In Filipino, "Can you write it down, please?" is Pakisulat naman. |
| Pakisulat naman. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Pakisulat naman. |
| Let's hear it once again: Pakisulat naman. |
| The first word Pakisulat means "please write." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Pakisulat. |
| And, Pakisulat. |
| This is followed by Naman, which in English is something like "similarly" or "the same." |
| Naman. |
| Naman. |
| And, Naman. |
| So, to recap here, we have Pakisulat naman. Literally, this means "Can you write it down, please?" |
| Once you have it, in Filipino "Can you pronounce this, please?" is Pakibigkas naman. |
| Pakibigkas naman. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Pakibigkas naman. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Pakibigkas naman. |
| The first word Pakibigkas means "please pronounce." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Pakibigkas. |
| Pakibigkas. |
| And, Pakibigkas. |
| This is followed by Naman, which in English is something like "the same." |
| Naman. |
| Naman, |
| And, Naman. |
| So, to recap here, we have Pakibigkas naman, which means "Can you pronounce this, please?" |
| The phrases that you have learned today are very helpful in holding on or keeping the information you have. Especially, if you need to get to a destination that you can't pronounce. The phrases "Can you write it down, please?" and "Can you pronounce this, please?" are very helpful but are of no use unless you have a pen and paper. |
| If you need to ask someone, "Do you have a pen and paper?" you can say May pen at papel ka? Where May is "to own" or "to possess." Pen is "pen." Ka is "you." At means "and." And the last Papel means "paper." |
| Again, May pen at papel ka? |
