how do you say [b]adobo[/b] in english? and [b]nakakapagkabagabag[/b]? curious

weee...this is fun! haha

eik? how come i never seen this thread before? i owez want to learn filipinos lang..so this should be helpful~

The [b]Ng[/b] is actually part of the Filipino alphabet including [b]ñ[/b]. Maybe because of some Spanish pronounciation. Well the words mga, nga and ngiti is juts easy to pronounce. But first of all you need to learn how to pronounce [b]Ng[/b].. So how do we start? Okei. I thought of something.. Try to pronounce [b]GANG[/b]. Then remove the [b]G[/b] it becomes [b]ANG[/b] (pronounce that) Then let's remove the [b]A[/b] now it's [b]NG[/b] (pronounce like GANG but w/o the G and A) So in Filipino... This is how you pronounce it: mga = ma-nga So, for example.. this one.. [b]NGITI[/b] (How to pronounce?) Just like... Let's say... [b]GANGEE[/b].. The way you pronounce [b]NGEE[/b] is same with [b]NGI[/b] plus the [b]TI[/b] it becomes... ngiti = NGEEE-TI I think you've learned much?

[/quote] cool, bro....thanks for that......i had actually wondered if the g was silent in those situations but now i know.....thanks a lot, again +repu for you

[quote=RossVolturi]how do you say [b]adobo[/b] in english? and [b]nakakapagkabagabag[/b]? curious[/quote] i asked my girlfriend if she could translate those to english....she didn't know how to translate it, either i don't think adobo actually has a translation to english....just a name of a food/recipe, right? and the only thing i know about nakakapagkabagabag....is that it's a long f'in word

[quote=bhebhiej]and the only thing i know about nakakapagkabagabag[/quote] well bro jesse, it's english word,i think is [b]disturbing.[/b] Use nakakapagpabagabag in a sentence. [b] Nakakapágpabagábag kapág kinakábag ka.[/b] translation---> [b] It is disturbing when with gas. [/b]

[/quote] I believe, it means you feel a pounding on your chest, like something's bothering you. hence it makes it a long word cause it takes a sentence to define it :idea: sorry for the double post!
