Newbs – It’s so Hot! Arte mo!

29 04 2008

42-16126275


The vicious heat of the Filipino summer getting to you? It’s not all about the tropical paradise of beaches, bikini-clad Pinays, and cold beer you know. For the rest of us who aren’t at the beach, we have to endure scorching 37 degree temperatures, which can lead to “inis init”. Jovitt discusses this tropical phenomenon while Cris and Mickey take a looksy at a  dialogue which can go “either way.”

A: Ang init ngayon! Natutunaw ako!
B: Exage ka naman! Hindi kaya.
A: Bakit ka ganyan?
B: Ang arte mo eh.

A: It’s so hot today! I’m melting!
B: You’re exaggerating! It’s not THAT hot.
A: Why do you have to be that way? :(
B: Because you’re so fussy.

Newbs – I’m from the States. Astig.

24 04 2008

amerika

Just because you’re white doesn’t mean you’re from the States. We all know that’s true, but give 40 years of colonization plus another 60 years of neo-colonization and you have Filipinos thinking all white folks come from the land of the free. Well, in this lesson, Cris and Mickey teach you how to clarify where you are from, Cris also adds some flavor with his etymology of the word “astig”. Jovitt discusses the importance of hometowns and provinces.

A: Excuse me po, taga-rito ka ba?
B: Hindi, taga-Amerika ako.
A: Talaga? Taga-Canada ako.
B: Astig.

A: Excuse me, are you from here?
B: No, I’m from the States.
A: Really? I’m from Canada.
B: Cool.
