| Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 48 - "I like it" and "I don’t like it" in Filipino. |
| In today's lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase you'll use countless times on your travels. For everyone out there who likes Philippine food, this is the word you'd like to know so you can get more of it. |
| In Filipino, "I like it" is Gusto ko iyan. |
| Gusto ko iyan. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Gusto ko iyan. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Gusto ko iyan. |
| The first word Gusto means "like." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Gusto. |
| And, Gusto. |
| This is followed by Ko, which in English is "me" or "I." |
| Ko. |
| Ko. |
| And, Ko. |
| Followed by Iyan, which means "that" or "it." |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Iyan. |
| And, Iyan. |
| So, to recap here, we have Gusto ko iyan. Literally, this means "I like it." |
| If you want to say that you really like something, then you can use this phrase. |
| In Filipino, "I really like it" is Gusto ko talaga iyan. |
| Gusto ko talaga iyan. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Gusto ko talaga iyan. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Gusto ko talaga iyan. |
| This phrase is essentially the same. There is just one additional word at it, that word is Talaga, |
| Talaga. |
| And, Talaga. |
| In the event that you don’t like something, "I don’t like it" is Hindi ko gusto iyan. |
| Hindi ko gusto iyan. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Hindi ko gusto iyan. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Hindi ko gusto iyan. |
| The first word Hindi means "no," "don’t," or "not." |
| Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Hindi. |
| And, Hindi. |
| Followed by the remaining words which is simply put the word at the beginning of the phrase. |
| So, all together, we have Hindi ko gusto iyan, which means "I don’t like it." |
| If you want to express extreme likeness, you may say Sobrang gusto ko iyan, which means "I like it so much." If you are referring to a person, you can say Gusto ko siya. It means "I like him/her." |
