I'm from the Philippines and lives in the Central Luzon, we mostly speak a lot of Tagalog. A lot of people from other areas are often amazed of the fact that we speak deeper Tagalog terms or that we sound so fluent in Tagalog. I don't really find it weird tho. 🤷‍♂️

Based from experience, it’s more of the comfort in communicating than the translation. There are local words that can be used to translate but mostly use English since the country is heavily influenced by the US. Greetings from Texas.

to be fair we do have mandatory English classes all throughout school up to college where there are 4 semesters of English apart from "foreign language" classes (usually 2 semesters)

I'm half filipina but still can't speak Tagalog. I didnt know my dad and didnt meet his family til I was 23.

I'm a Filipino and this was the reason why i failed in Filipino subject since most of the words in Filipino textbook have a deep meaning and sometimes the teacher won't tell what is the meaning of the word so that's why I'm having understanding Filipino

In my estimate, around 30% of Filipinos are fluent in English. When I say fluent, they can communicate with correct grammar and pronunciation. The other 40% of population can communicate in English but not fluently. The other 20% can understand English but will not be able to respond or communicate purely in English. When they do, native english speakers are likely to have difficutly understanding. The remaining 10% of the populatino do not understand and can't communicate in English at all. Fyi, around 90% of all the notices and signages in private and government establishments are written in English.

WE SPEAK MIX TAGALOG AND MY GRANDKIDS SPEAK IN FLUELTY ENGLISH THEY. SPEAK TAGALOG TOO EVEN IN THEYRE SCHOOL SPEAK IN ENGLISH SAME TAGALOG TOO THEY HAVE SUBJECT ENGLISH AND PILIPINO ITS TAGALOG SUBJECT

I speak different languages fluently because I use specific languages for certain groups of people. Since the pandemic, I've connected with them online so I talk to children in English, to the elderly in Tagalog, and to some in Ilokano or Ibaloi depending on who are in the video call.

How are you alex? And when ur gonna do another live stream eagerly waitin!!

best comments for this video, thats a good perspective..

Being a Filipino Tag-lesh is my comfort language

Oh you two have a sweet intro wtf! Lol

4:33 in Ph, you can seperate if it's not good for u both anymore. But there's no divorce bc yk i think if divorce becane legal people's mindset might be like it's omay to marry bc u can just divorce if it won't work. idk if u get my point. But filipinos are very traditional, and me personally i don't want divorce to be legal, because marriage is very sacred

Sentence structure of Tagalog and English is so different. When we speak Taglish, we use the Tagalog sentence structure. We just use English words or clause we are individually comfortable with in within that Tagalog sentence structure.

We also speak spanish and english mixing filipino language.......like delikado,bueno,amigo,counting numbers in spanish..,...,

Most Filipinos speak at least 2 languages. Filipino (the official language. Tagalog core), English, and their native tongue (location dependent ei. Bisaya, ilocano, kapampamgan, etc).

I do language switching but with 3 language. And my tagalog speaking friend are confused..

I think they used wrong phrase about Divorce on being illegal. Because how can you say it's illegal if in the first place, there's no such BILL in congress right now to push through? At the same time, regardless if it's a bill or law, Divorce are meant to help the married couple to fix their marital problems under our existing constitution in manner and legal way.

On a Christian's point of view, marriage is a sacred sacrament, the reason why divorce is not implemented in a Catholic nation like the Philippines. He gets it.

I think this interview was conducted only in NCR or in Metro Manila, and the people they interviewed were only youth or millenials and obviously a residence from that area. But I'm gonna be harsh. This interview feels kind of bias. If the personnel in this particular matter also conducting an interview to the other generation of humankind and they just don't get picky about the looks of the person they going to interview with, I'm pretty sure they got a Pilipino person who can speak Filipino language straightly. Well, let's see in the province area of the Philippines particularly in the Tagalog region if this is also a fact. The only thing annoying is when you hear that they cannot talk or speak a straight Filipino language but they can speak Taglish and they can also speak straight English, for me... That's WOW!

Philippines had so many dialects but people.understand tagalog and can speak tagalog and english at the same time.

I think, I would say 40% of Filipino can speak in English fluently. 30% are the trying hard. Just like me. and the last 30% those people who are very good in Tag-lish. A filipino Modernized languages. ( After spain left the Philippines in 1898.) They speak in tagalog at the same time they manage to mix the English words and some sort of Spanish Language in order to speak straight or continuously without pausing. That is why most filipinos prefer to speak Tag-lish than a trying hard. Trying hard people they can speak fine in English but, in a Slutter way. They called it, English Carabao. But, unfortunately for those 40% who could speak fluently they also started from being trying hard. Ibig sabihin lang nyan na experienced din nila ang mag Nose bleed.

U guys look cute. Alex, when are u guys getting married?

Dammmm..! Love is blind..!

I can speak 5 languages, Tagalog, English, Bisaya, Ilocano, Pangasinan or pangalatok, My mother speaks Bisaya, my father speaks tagalog, we live in Pangasinan where Pangalatok and ilocano are the 2 main dialect spoken.

If you dont like anymore your wife, it easy to take a devorce.! Reason broken family, children will suffer situation, find other guy/ woman/ mistress, where is the love.? What ever happened if you love him you must fight forever not devorce..! Thats why Philippines has no devorce me and my wife we 29 years since we married we have three kids. If you dont like devorce you must respect each other openion.

Actually speaking in full Filipino isn't old style or something like that. Personally, I think speaking in full Filipino is sexy and kinda sweet.

Nag summon kayo ng mading filipino with this video.

i think kahit nga yung tagalog may halo rin na spanish

Beautiful beautiful couple Reaction with Pakistan ........y........you.........✍🏻🇵🇰🌹❤️

Yes, unfortunately, Philippines is the only country in the world in addition to Vatican City where divorce is still illegal. Spousal abuse and unhappy marriage are tolerated and preferred than human rights because of “Christianity”.

I'm watching from Negros Occidental, Philippine and I read other comments as well as reading the exact tittle saying 'speaking all Tagalog' About legality of divorce here in our country, it's a NO. Why? I guess it's for the reason that Philippine was more dominated mostly with Christian Faith and more studies seen the effects of the legal divorce. Speaking all out Tagalog? For me as a Negrense or living and came from Negros having dialect called Hiligaynon. Speaking Tagalog as affected by social media or other things, by other foreign countries and by learning as studies from Kindergarten, elementary, grade school, High school, college and of course plentiful of Philippine local dialects mmmmmm speaking Tagalog all the was not easy hehehe If most of 'Filipino' called to Philippine male and 'Filipina' for female will be given 1 bond paper or yellow pad for essay exam using (ONLY FILIPINO WORDS) wehehe plenty will fail wahahaha Why? We Filipino have barowed word from other foreign countries like ( janitor - dyanitor) and we are trained educationally so wehehe English WORDS in our mind will be needed to be translated to Tagalog or Ta-ga-lug if given idea to speak it, like We are friendly persons. Mmmmmm as Pinoy for men and Pinay for women we need think in translation ways like We? Mmmmm We - Tayo Are - ? Kind of a difficult to translate word for word but we Filipino and Filipina have translation in phrases or sentence so hehehe no answer if word for word in a phrase or sentence which can be Tagalog translated. We - Tayo Are - ? Friendly - palakaibigan Persons - mga tao We are friendly persons. 1. Kami (ay) taong palakaibigan. 2. Kami'y tao na palakaibigan. Wehehe hard right? We Filipino and Filipina have not only one way to translate it but not all of course like (good day) Good - mabuti, maganda hmmm I forgot others sorry Day - araw 😉 Magandang araw in Philippine 🇵🇭 language but doing it by specificity mmmm Maganda(ng) araw To make it short, it's not easy for most of us Filipino and Filipina to speak all Tagalog but there are Pinoy and Pinay knew it very well.

80%

Seger y wes ngambung

Probably 60% tagalog and 40% english

FYI. Filipino Tagalog influence by spain because they have been occupied for a long time. Filipino English influence by america because they have been occupied for a long time. Filipino not influence by japanese language because they were not occupied for a long time. Filipino not influence by united kingdom English because they were not occupied for a long time. That the facts.

🍺!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

I'm glad that you don't use the Philippines as your content👍👍👍
