when you speak both filipino and english and start losing vocabulary in both language. BYElingual

Even the reporter was having a hard time asking in full filipino 😂

Please dont lose your languages, Filipinos. They are precious

I'm Filipino-Japanese, this remind me of the video where they also asked Japanese people to speak pure Japanese haha. This is such an interesting topic!

You cant just speak pure Tagalog without sounding like a famous Filipino poet

"So, are you able to speak pure Tagalog?" "Yes" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Bagsak agad

The reason why some Filipinos can't speak using tagalog alone is because 1. There are words that can not be translated into tagalog, 2. Schools in the Philippines encourage students to speak in english more than to speak using our native language (I don't have any bad intention) 3. The impact of the society and of course we were colonize by the americans which influenced us. 4. Some of the citizens define status with the language they are using, 5. I can't think of other reasons now, Pero pilipino ho ako at alam ko at kaya ko magsalita ng purong tagalog na hindi hinahaluan ng ingles o kahit na anong banyagang linggwahe, sa aming pamamahay ay mas hinihikayat ako ng aking mga magulang na magsalita gamit ang tagalog dahil dapat pa rin nating pahalagahan ang ating sarili at kinalakihang linggwahe. Ps: all of the things i said above was just my opinions 🤟

Filipino friends, you have such an interesting culture and language, that's why I got really interested in learning filipino, I love your accent when speaking Tagalog, English and Spanish words. I'm from Mexico and I hope to visit your country someday.

Let me give you an example of a Taglish. *Sana all* 👌

Most of the people they interviewed were young. I bet older people would have an easier time talking tagalog.

I had a Filipino professor from my university that speaks so fluently, you'd rediscover your old but familiar Filipino vocabulary and hear it like poetry. That professor works in the university near the interview area :)

I just realized my former Filipino teacher speaks pure Filipino especially during her lectures, now that I'm a freshman college, I missed listening to her

"Wag mokong ingles-inglesin sa bayan ko *pUnYEta!* " -Heneral Luna

"Can you speak tagalog?" Me: Yes of cours- Pisting yawa.

Yung feeling na di mo express ang thought mo sa purong Filipino mas masyadong nasanay ka sa Englis kesa sa tagalog🤧.

As someone who is not Filipino this is the coolest thing ever. Everyone is going round speaking 2 languages at once and they can just pick and mixing which words to use and they just take it for granted.

When you speak 3 languages and mix all of them in one sentence.

lmao when they try speaking Filipino straight and having a mental breakdown that's so me lol

The difference between Tagalog and Filipino. Based on what I remember, Tagalog is the local language mostly spoken in Luzon. On the other hand, Tagalog is where Filipino is derived from. It's standardized and borrows many words all over the Philippines. For example, kawatan and magnanakaw are similar, but kawatan is mostly used in Bisaya language and it is now accepted in Filipino. You can also used "salitang hiram" borrowed words like manggagamot-> doktor. Gamot -> medisina. People often confuse this that Filipino is Tagalog, but it is not. They are different as the Filipino language is constantly evolving and we are still adding words to it.

Me as Malaysian, i love watching Filipino teleserye. It fascinating to see how unique the Tagalog language. For us, Tagalog is like our long lost brother, it’s like we should understand the language but we can’t..😂😂😂 it’s getting me more interested when i watch Marian Rivera’s “Amaya”. That series using the pure Tagalog as the series depicted the time during Pre-colonial period. If anyone curious how pure Tagalog is spoken, I recommend you watch the series. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Filipino Language is deep, and sadly to say Philippine education prioritizes English rather than its language.

Nowadays, if you speak in full Tagalog, you're considered rare. I love the language. When you hear it spoken in it's true form, you'll love it too.

I have already said this comment in one channel by two American bff's. Taglish is a language on its own. Only Pinoys can understand it. The Americans can't understand it. Other nationalities cannot comprehend it. And Pinoys unknowingly invented it in this modern age where we are all living a new and different language that is very unique!

even though i speak filipino i cant take my eyes off the subtitles for some weird reason

Why some Filipinos speak English and Filipino within a conversation: 1. Some English words cannot be translated to Filipino (just like how there used to be no words from other languages can be translated to English so it had to borrow words from other languages). 2. Filipino language teachers don't encourage students to speak pure Filipino, therefore we're having trouble speaking our native language. (Before replying to my comment, please be aware that this is just my opinion.)

The times when you still can meet a person in the street and casually talk to them. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Since i was a baby my parents especially my dad had been communicating with me in English because they said that it would be an opportunity for me to work abroad. So when i enrolled to a Filipino school as teen, it was tough for me to speak tagalog but i understand a bit (because i listened to my parents communicating each other in tagalog.)

Growing up in the Philippines, I spoke mixed English and Tagalog. If I tried to speak full Tagalog they would make fun of me for not being able to speak in English. Then, if I speak in English they'd think I'm showing off my English-speaking skills and being arrogant. Right now speaking in full Tagalog is so difficult for me. I have to mix it with some English words. However, I can speak in full English with ease.

I love the Filipino accent 😍 it’s just so melodious and pleasant to hear. Love from your fellow southeast Asian in Malaysia 💕

Tagalog is already a mix of Bahasa Indonesia, Hokkien Chinese, Castilian Spanish and American English

If you speak in pure Filipino nowadays, they will think you came from 10th Century BCE (Noong mga panahong nabubuhay pa ang Baybayin o Alibata bilang sariling alpabetiko ng mga Pilipino na mababasa sa wikang Tagalog.) -Filipino is different from Tagalog. Filipino is the modern-day language of the Philippines with mixed words. Example of English words inspired by Filipino language: English version: Revolution Filipino version: Rebolusyon Tagalog version: Paghihimagsik English version: Science Spanish/Filipino version: Siyensya Tagalog version: Agham English version: Expert Filipino version: Eksperto Tagalog version: Dalubhasa Thus, Tagalog-which was not a native, but the main language of Filipinos-is slowly dying. The said language have extincted, being used for Literature only and in some thesis-maybe?-and is slowly diving to ‘nothingness’.

*Can Filipinos Speak Their Own Language?* Jose Rizal : Am I joke to you?

"can you answer fully in filipino?" "Yes! Oh..." That guy who tried so hard, that was cute.

Sa ngayon, ang taas at ang talino na ng tingin ko sa mga Pinoy na kayang magsalita sa wikang Filipino at Tagalog sa tuluyang daloy.

for me speaking in pure and straight in Filipino language is very awesome .. and it sounds like you're a poet

foreigners: i love Filipino accent 😍 Filipinos: hilo bebe gorl

Some words cant translate in Tagalog. Accept the fact.

"May itatanong ako sayong question" Arang redundant na sya. Kasi when ypu say tanong it means question, you should simply say. May itatanong ako sayo.

I do love to hear when someone speak Tagalog . The accent sounds unique . I'm Indonesian, even of I must speak with using my nationality language, I still mixed it with my native language .

As a bisaya filipino, pure tagalog for me is sounds like poetic. ✨

aside from years of colonization and all that chaotic, confusing history of the Philippines, isn't it because our education mostly uses english to teach??

So nice to watch you guys I’m Brazilian guy I’m learning Tagalog I’m trying coz my first language is Portuguese, so that is so hard for me also… my second problem is I’m improving my English also… CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TO LEARN THAT?! Hahahaha Tagalog is so hard!!!

U should also interview some middle age or older person ,and u gonna heard how good they are on speaking there own local dialect

1:27 kaya mo ba mag full filipino ngayon guy:Yes Failed at 1 second

hope everyone will keep in mind that english is not the basis of someone's intelligence

Their English language teachers really are fantastic though because when they speak English it's very clear and concise. 👏

As some one who speaks Spanish and English I really want to learn Tagalog… it feels like a natural progression tbh

When I was in highschool, my classmate who used to speak fluently English had been leaving us in awe. But when I was in College, those who used to speak Filipino straight fluently was such a music to the ear.

well i think filipinos that can speak pure tagalog anytime, are the coolest.

What a beautiful language. Good to hear hope they will speak in their own language more. They need to use this beautiful language more.

that is common especially to younger people... that's also the reason why my husband and I teach our child Filipino... We don't want him to lose the mother tongue.

If you speak Filipino Fluently, then you are a LEGEND.! 😉😊

That’s actually true. In the Philippines, at least where I went, there is a lot of English signs. Environment does play a role.

this kinda makes me both glad and mad that I'm not the only who was forced to speak english since childhood I mean good we are opening up to other countries but I feel we are slowly destroying our culture

This was fun to watch! Interesting how languages start to fuse together!

4:33 'Maganda kase ang quality ng education sa pilipinas.' Meanwhile: Philippined ranked as 2nd to the lowesf in Reading Comprehension.

"So yun" "Like" "Umm" "Is" "So" "Actually" "It's because" ETC.… AHAHAHAHH LOL

I was born and raised in America pero both of my parents are fully Filipino. Growing up, I mostly picked up Tagalog from TFC and I now realize how much words I learned by just simply watching dramas with my mother. I still speak more English though. Even when being spoken to in Tagalog because I get embarrassed trying to speak just Tagalog (because I sound funny) so I end up either speaking only in English or in taglish :,)

Filipinos are so friendly. I would love to visit there

“may itatanong ako sayong question”

Causes. - English books - English movies - Most of subjects are english It's basically because of educational lifestyle of a person.

Its really hard to speak in fully Tagalog/Filipino nowadays bcs English has been part of Filipino education subject from elementary to college. Filipinos are also open for language adaptation since the language we/they speak doesn't require different alphabet unlike Mandarin, Hangul and Japanese. I grew up in PH but I am only 1/4 Filo, but yeah the language is just amazing. Edit: Madami sadyang naka-braces sa Philippines

Try to interview people from the rural area province of Batangas, Quezon, Laguna. Most of the people there speak fluent Tagalog with a deep vocabulary. Most of the interviewed people here is very young who live in the capital city that’s why it’s hard for them to speak straight filipino.

I am currently teaching myself Tagalog before I move to the Philippines in the future, and let me tell you, it is easy, but also, it can be hard to add it into some sentences, but I am keep trying. Maraming salamat Asian boss for the video

I’m from Mindoro, and we speak pure Tagalog with deep Tagalog words just like the Bulaceños, Batangeños and other pure Tagalog-speaking provinces. And I’m proud of it. Napakasarap pakinggan ng purong Tagalog. Very pleasant to the ears. Authentic and kind of poetic. I also love the tagalog in Bulacan. I’m mesmerized everytime I hear them speak with such beautiful Tagalog accents. I think actors/actresses back in the 50’s-80’s used to speak that way. Ngayon taglish na. Haha

Try to go to the nearest provinces like, Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, batanggas. And ask the elders to speak in full filipino or tagalog language. And comply it together, let's see how different our tagalog in each places. You know here in Metro Manila, even a street kid cannot speak full tagalog also!

do you think that one soluition to this code swithching is to create new filipino words from english by coined old words or combine existing word like iceladic do?

“If you speak English, you have a higher rank than those who don’t speak English.” That’s completely opposite in my school lmao. If you speak full filipino _all the time_ you are deemed popular or “cool”

The interviewer himself is having a hard time speaking in full Filipino.

I'm a Bicolano and my mother tongue was Tagalog/Filipino and I'm so fluent with it more than my local language which is Bicol. I'm not good with English because I sleep all the time during my english class 😂 I think I'm just exposed in social media and western movies and read a lot of eng subtitles.

Filipino itself is a mix of spanish actually. Taglish is a natural evolution.

Its sad to know that we already lost our tradition from the past generation. And now, we cant even speak our language fluently.

I don't know how Filipinos use English and Spanish. But I feel surprised when many of them can't use Tagalog. I mean the real Tagalog. They use English Tagalog :-0

I like how the reporter kept on emphasizing that the national language is called “Filipino” and not “Tagalog”.

This is mind blowing for me... and seriously first time to know about this level of language mix in daily life.

1:55 - He's troubled by speaking pure Filipino when asked to 6:08 - Fluently delivering his answers in pure Tagalog

Feeling ko kaya sila nahihirapan mag Filipino dahil naka brace HAHAHAHAHA

It just came out on my YT recommendations right now. XD. I think, what made me unable to set aside the English language when I am speaking is because English language is the medium of instruction for most of my subjects in school. Even if the subject for Dr. Jose Rizal's life is written in English language.

I’m Filipino, but have left the country 22 years back. Of course, I am very, very fluent in Tagalog. Moderately conversant in Visayan, and can understand a bit of Ilocano. The challenge is, there are a lot of words in Eng that does not have a local word equivalent.

Ah so that’s why when I see Filipino’s Tagalog writing there’s always English in there. They sometimes start sentences in English and it casually changes to another language and it leaves me so confused haha

Do you Speak English? Me: Yes, In *text.*

@ 4:44 lol trust me pinoys we’re mixing English WAY before social media was a thing, I grew up listening to all the aunties speak Tagalog and could keep up because the English they peppered in

Finally, they got new interviewers for Asian boss philippines.

"Kaya mo bang mag filipino ngayon?" "Yes,Oo" Failed.

Me: **sinagot ang tanong nila ng purong Filipino** Me: Mukhang ako'y handa na upang sumulat ng liham para sa aking kasintahan na si Juanito Alfonso. HAHAHAHAHA. Char!

I've noticed that kids learn English first before Tagalog and it makes a big difference what language you learn first because the accent is pretty noticeable like you could hear how they say a word and immediately think that "Englishero toh"

I really like the vibe of Filipinos, they seem super open and friendly❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love from India

*braces joined the conversation*

Honestly I don’t think it’s colonial mentality, rather borrowing and assimilating foreign words is natural in a living language, and would expectedly be more apparent in a bilingual society.

Personally, I believe the reason is that English is a standard language and it's really valuable. It helps us communicate with others more conveniently. Or maybe it's just that, for some reasons, some of us somehow think that English sounds expensive and rich; we think we look smart speaking with it.

I suck at speaking Tagalog and instead of improving it at quarantine, here I am learning Japanese instead.

Everybody be fascinated about the transition of languages, the answer really to that is... *...colonization.*

One of the reasons why speaking straight Filipino kind of challenging esp for young gen is that English word kind of shortens the words coz lots of Filipino words are quite long.

Pure Tagalog sounds romantic if you say it, which is a good thing but at the same time it is fading which is sad

Official languages in the Philippines: Tagalog, English, Taglish, Konyo, Jejemon, and Sward

"kaya mo bang mag full Filipino ngayon?" "YES" ahay

Ayos lang yan. Minsan talaga mahirap kasi it's difficult sometimes.

As a Cantonese born abroad, this sounds just like us. We just use the English vocab with Chinese structure because we don’t know the vocab in Chinese. Then we slap on a Canto accent and it doesn’t even seem obvious that we are using English words.

As a Filipino (who lives in the Ph), this took me as a surprise as I didn't expect people in Manila (just an assumption) are not comfortable in speaking in fluent Filipino. A li'l heads up for international viewers, while Filipinos in the capital region are more comfortable in speaking in English, the majority of Filipinos (especially those who live in the province) mostly speak Filipino :).
