My first words in Tagalog!

 

To avoid keeping it too simple, I started by learning complete sentences rather than individual words. I thought that would make it easier to jump right into the adventure.

Tulog ako ——————————— I’m going to sleep
Anong sasakyan / nila? ————— What kind of transportation?

Numbers:These terms exist in Tagalog, but out of habit, Filipinos mainly use Spanish, or young people use English.
However, the single-digit numbers are used in Tagalog.

 

 1: isa

3: datlo
4: apat
5: lima
6: anim

For tens, add “n pu”

Ex: dalawan pu

For hundreds: add "ng daan"
Ex: isang daan

 

For thousands: add "ng libo," but for words ending in a consonant, add "na libo"
Ex: isang libo or anim na libo

    You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I to find this matter to be really one thing that I
    feel I’d by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and very vast for
    me. I’m having a look ahead to your next publish, I’ll attempt
    to get the grasp of it!
