| Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 40 - "Do you have an English information guide?" |
| In today's lesson, we'll introduce you to crucial phrase for all of you travelers out there who are interested in learning more about the tourist attractions you're going to visit. Learning about the history and cultural significance of places you visit can be just as rewarding as seeing them. |
| Today, we'll cover "Do you have an English information guide?" |
| In Filipino, "Do you have an English information guide?" is Mayroon kayong English information guide? |
| Mayroon kayong English information guide? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Mayroon kayong English information guide? |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Mayroon kayong English information guide? |
| The first word Mayroon means "to possess" or "there is." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Mayroon. |
| And, Mayroon. |
| This is followed by Kayong, which in English is "you." |
| Kayong. |
| Kayong. |
| And, Kayong. |
| And then followed by "English information guide." |
| So, to recap here, we have Mayroon kayong English information guide? which means "Do you have an English information guide?" |
| Now, to ask for a different language, we can just replace the word for "English" with any other word for a language, and works just fine. Let's try "Korean." In Filipino, Mayroon kayong Korean information guide? The only thing that changes is the thing you are looking for. So, in this case, it's "Korean." |
| You don't have to worry about anything when it comes to information guides in the Philippines. All information guides and any write-ups are in English. There may be times when advertisements in the form of leaflets and flyers are in Filipino, and with that, the Survival Phrases you learned from this lesson is very helpful. |
| For instance, someone has given you a leaflet or a flyer and the words on it are in Filipino and your interest was aroused by it. "Do you have an English version?" in Filipino is Mayroon kayong English nito? |
| Mayroon kayong English nito? |
| Mayroon kayong English nito? or "Do you have an English version?" |
