| Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 47 - Explaining allergies in Filipino. |
| In today's lesson, we'll cover a phrase that will prove invaluable for those of you're allergic to something. Letting other people know about your allergies is vital to a fun and healthy trip. In today's phrase, we'll go over "I'm allergic to something." |
| To start, we'll need something that we're allergic to. In some cases, allergies to peanuts can be extremely dangerous so let's start there. |
| In Filipino, "I am allergic to peanuts" is Allergic ako sa mani. |
| Allergic ako sa mani. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Allergic ako sa mani. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Allergic ako sa mani. |
| The first word "allergic" doesn't have a Filipino translation. |
| The second word Ako means "me" or "I." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Ako. |
| And, Ako. |
| This is followed by Sa, which in English is "to." |
| Sa. |
| Sa. |
| And, Sa. |
| Followed by Mani, which in English means "peanuts." |
| Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time: Mani. |
| And, Mani. |
| So to recap here, we have Allergic ako sa mani, which means "I'm allergic to peanuts." |
| Now, let's go over some other common allergies. Let's try "shrimp." |
| In Filipino "I am allergic to shrimp" is Allergic ako sa hipon. |
| Allergic ako sa hipon. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Allergic ako sa hipon. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Allergic ako sa hipon. |
| Notice the only thing that changes here is Hipon, the rest is the same. |
| Hipon. |
| Hipon. |
| And, Hipon. |
| Now, let's go over "I'm allergic to milk." In Filipino, Allergic ako sa gatas. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Allergic ako sa gatas. |
| Again, the only thing that changes here is the word Gatas which means "milk." |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Gatas. |
| And, Gatas. |
| If you are allergic with eggs, just simply replace the word with "eggs." In Filipino, "eggs" is Itlog. "I'm allergic to eggs" in Filipino is Allergic ako sa itlog. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Allergic ako sa itlog. |
| And, Allergic ako sa itlog. |
| If you are allergic to crabs simply substitute with the word. "Crab" in Filipino is Alimasag. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Alimasag. |
| And, Alimasag. |
| If you are allergic to fish, "fish" in Filipino is Isda. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Isda. |
| And, Isda. |
| In Filipino, "I am having an allergic reaction" is Inaallergy ako. |
| Inaallergy ako. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Inaallergy ako. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Inaallergy ako. |
| The first word Inaallergy means "having an allergy." |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Inaallergy. |
| And, Inaallergy |
| This is followed by Ako, which in English is "me" or "I." |
| Ako. |
| Ako. |
| And, ako. |
| So, to recap here, we have Inaallergy ako, which means "I am having an allergic reaction." |
| Don't take allergies for granted because they can be very dangerous when triggered and will put your life in danger if not given a proper medication. In an instance that the allergy has occurred and you are in need of an anti-allergy medicine this phrase will help you: "Do you have an anti-allergy?" In Filipino, Mayroon ka bang anti-allergy? |
| Let's break down this phrase by syllable: Mayroon ka bang anti-allergy? |
| Let's hear it one more time: Mayroon ka bang anti-allergy? which means "Do you have an anti-allergy?" |
