#TIL the English "#boondocks" comes from the #Tagalog "bundok" meaning "mountain."

#til that Moray Eel in #Tagalog is Indong.

Grabe the more I read about the #Fosstodon monolingual issue mas gusto ko mag code-switch unnecessarily, basta-basta lang, kasi at least here I won't get banned 😂

Kung hindi ninyo ako maintindihan e di bahala kayo diyan.

The General Strike - Pugon (2016) / Filipino blues rock

Youtube: https://youtu.be/PE2zGYX4QTw

This song was played in the ending credits of the horror film #Nocebo. The entire album slaps and it's all about the experiences and suffering of workers and labourers. I'll post the translation in a bit since there's a word count limit on Mastodon.

Na- @takam ko sa dukót (Binisaya).

If you grew up in a rice-eating culture, you'll probably know what https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_rice is. In #Filipino|#Tagalog, they're called kaning tutong, or simply tutong.

During a visit to a marketplace, looking for local delicacies, I chanced upon this. The translation app said it's "crispy rice crust" , and in the #Philippines , these are never commercially sold, and are the unwanted (?) by-product of cooking rice on a stove.

And of course, there's a documentary on the life of a magtataho (taho vendor) on YouTube

#vocaloid song in #Tagalog but sounds extremely #Japanese

it's basically a "I murdered my cheatin' lover" song but inspired by a traditional folk dance

Anyone have some nice and up-to-date resources for learning #Tagalog / #Filipino from English or German?

Month old video, still good to watch 👍

"#HarvardUniversity is set to offer a new course in #Tagalog, a #Filipino language that is the fourth most frequently spoken language in the #US behind #English, #Spanish and #Chinese. Harvard Professor James Robson and Co-President of the Harvard Philippine Forum, Jose Marco Antonio, join News NOW to share how the program came about and what they hope to accomplish by teaching Tagalog." #Philippines

Since my self-hosted Mastodon instance seems to have stabilized now, it's time for an #introduction! :ad:

I am Francis Rubio, a :bisexual_flag: web developer and designer from the #Philippines. I also created @antaresphdev to talk about web dev to #Filipino devs in #Tagalog

I write about my life, career, and technology on my website https://francisrubio.antaresph.dev/.

I also post corny #Pinoy jokes, so now you can't complain; you've been warned. :KEKW: :boostpls:

@cordillera @jikodesu pato and isla are both from Spanish. Tagalog has *tons* of word pairs consisting of "pure" #Tagalog and Spanish-borrowed both describing the same thing:

• luntian vs. berde
• bughaw vs. asul
• upuan vs. silya
• aklat vs. libro
• silid vs. kuwarto
• pamahalaan vs. gobyerno
• lungsod vs. syudad
• manggagamot vs. doktor
• wika vs. lenggwahe

@youronlyone @gowin @pinoy @takam

Wow.

That had been on my mind for a couple of days, and I finally found it - there's a lot of meanings for it, an etymologically diverse and robust word.

In the context given, it was pretty much precisely what I thought it meant 👍

Some love song my first band wrote five years ago. Warning: very scuffed.
Tried to practice mixing with it. Only #Audacity and CAPS plugins. Also, tried using audio.com, pretty nice place to host audio.

Tagalog is now available on LingQ and is FREE for everyone for the first 3 months. We’ve created 60 Mini Stories with audio and transcripts in Tagalog to help you get fluent. #tagalog

Do we have any Filipinos or Filipino food enthusiasts on Mastodon? 🇵🇭

Pictured here: chicken adobo, rice/garlic, pancit, puto, and lumpia yesterday. Growing up with a half Filipino mother, I ate such food as this regularly.

Mayroon bang mga Pilipino o mga taong gusto ng pagkaing Pilipino sa Mastadon? 🇵🇭

Sa foto ito ay narito ng chicken adobo, kanin sa garlic, pancit, puto, at lumpia. Lumaki ako na may half Pilipino nanay, sa malakas kumakain ako ng pagkain Pilipino. #Tagalog #Filipino #Food

We have 🇵🇭 #Tagalog language now on https://main.elk.zone and I’d like to invite #Filipino friends to try and give feedback so we can improve the translation for the community 🙏

Settings -> Language, then choose “Tagalog” as your Display Language

@pinoy @pilipinas

Take it from me, when #Pinoys tell you "Masama ang loob namin sa mangyayari", the accurate translation is "We feel offended about what's happening" - no matter what your language translator says 🙄

Even #Filipino newspapers often make this mistake, understating the emotional content of a #Tagalog phrase when translating them to #English.

Since when did Duolingo have English for Tagalog speakers?

#Duolingo #Tagalog

Magandang umaga: good morning in #Tagalog. #language

🇵🇭 A well-articulated thread about the #Tagalog word #loob and its literal and figurative meanings. It was written in reaction to a misinformed Twitter post claiming 'loob' means something more than it really does, but regardless is a good read. #Philippines #Filipino

(I have heard some apps allow quoted boosts a la the bird site, but the two apps I use, Tusky and Mastodon, do not, so the best I can do is forward the link to add my commentary.)
