NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

Ibig is the same as gusto, “would like to” or “would care to.”

Magkano means “how much.”

Magkakano means “how much each… ” or “how much per…”

Ale is a polite title used to address a woman whose name you don’t know.

Bumili means “to buy” from the root word bili (“buy”).

Bumili is used when the focus is on the buyer.
Example:
Puwede bang bumili ng kalahating kilo?
“Could I buy half a kilo?”

Bilhin also means “to buy”; however, the focus is on the object to be bought.
Example:
Ano po ang ibig ninyong bilhin?
“What is it you want to buy?”

Bibili is the future of bumili.

Pagbilhan mo is “you sell me.”

Kilong is kilo plus the linker.

Kalahating is kalahati (“half”) plus the linker.

Taling, from tali (“tied”) plus the linker, means a “bundle.”

Malaki (“big”) is used with singular nouns.
Malalaki is used when the nouns are plural.
Malalaking is malalaki with the -ng linker.

Babalik is the future of bumalik (“to return” or “to be back”).
Babalik kayo, suki literally means “You’ll be back, patron.”
Suki is a word used to address a regular customer or patron.
