Paano po ba ang pagpunta sa istasyon ng bus?
How Does One Get to the Bus Station?

NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

Mamà is a polite term used to address a man whose name you don’t know. Notice that the mark over the “a” indicates that the vowel is cut short or stopped; it is not a stress mark.

Maaari is sometimes used instead of puwede. Both mean “can” or “may.”

Kantong is kanto (“corner”) plus the linker -ng.

Makikita–future of makita–“will be able to see.”

Mo is “you” or “your.” Sa kaliwa mo, “On your left”; Makikita mo … , “You will see … ” (See below for a summary of Pilipino pronouns.)

Pakiulit is paki (prefix for polite request) and ulit (“to repeat”)–“Please, repeat.”

Hanggang means “until,” “as far as,” or “to.” Hanggang bukas, “until tomorrow,” is commonly used when parting from someone you expect to see the next day.

Dyip (“jeepney”) is an ornately decorated, elongated jeep used as a jitney. Jeepneys have routes like buses, but except in Manila do not have regular stops; the driver will stop whenever requested. You just say Para po!; the destination is painted on the side. In some places the jeepneys are also color and number coded.

Magdyip means “to take a jeepney.” Mag added to a noun changes it to a verb; for example, asawa – “spouse”; mag-asawa – to get married.” Mag is often used with foreign words: mag sweater – “to put on/wear a sweater”; magbus – “to take/ride a bus.”

PRONOUNS

One pronoun in Pilipino may have several meanings in English, as you saw in the examples Sa kaliwa mo, “on your left,” and Makikita mo” “you will see.”

Different pronouns in Pilipino may have only one English equivalent; for example, asawa ko and aking asawa both mean “my spouse.”

Every pronoun in Pilipino has three forms, classified as the ang, ng, and sa forms. The form of the pronoun often depends on its position In the sentence.

• As you know, ang in front of a noun marks it as the topic of a sentence, so the pronouns that are used as topics are called the ang forms.

Examples:

I	ako	Tatlong buwan na ako rito. (I have been here three months now.)
You	ka/ikaw	Kumusta ka? (How are you?)
We (I and others)	kami	Hindi kami makapagtatagal. (We can’t stay longer.)
We (You & I & others)	tayo	Magkita tayong muli. (See each other again.)
You (pl.)	kayo	Saan kayo nakatira? (Where do you (pl.) live?)

• The -ng form. These pronouns may correspond to the English possessive pronouns or adjectives, as well as subject or object pronouns.

Examples:

I, my, me	ko	Gusto ko ang Pilipinas. (I like the Philippines. Literally, the Philippines pleases me.)Ito si Anne, maybahay ko. (This is Anne my wife.)
You, your	mo	Gusto mo ba ang Pilipinas? (Do you like the Philippines?)…sa kaliwa mo. (…. on your left.)
We, our, us	namin	Nakatira sa Olongapo ang kaibigan namin, si Pedro (when the person you’re speaking to doesn’t know Pedro). (Our friend Pedro lives in Olongapo.)
We, our, us	natin*	…ang kaibigan natin, si Pedro (when the person you’re speaking to also knows Pedro). (Our friend Pedro…)
You, your (pl.)	ninyo	Gusto ba ninyo ang Pilipinas? (Do you (pl.) like the Philippines?) Literally, Does the Philippines please you?Anak na lalaki ba ninyo ito? (Is this your son?)

• The sa form. This form may correspond to an object pronoun or possessive pronoun/adjective and is often used with sa.

Examples:

Me, my, mine	(sa) akin	Ito si Anne, ang aking maybahay. (This is Anne, my wife.)
You	(sa) iyo	Magandang umaga sa iyo. (Good morning to you.)
We, our, us (I & others)	(sa) amin*	Ito si Bobby ang aming anak na lalaki. (This is our son Bobby.)
We, our, us (You & I & others)	(sa) atin*	Nagtatrabaho sa Olongapo ang ating kaibigan, si Pedro. (Our friend Pedro is working in Olongapo.)
You (pl.)	(sa) inyo	Gusto kong ipakilala sa inyo si Ginoong Ramos. (I would like to introduce to you Mr. Ramos.)

NOTE: Mula (“from”) is used for emphasis. We have translated mula as “away” when used with malayo and as “by” when used with malapit. Notice that rito/dito can occur after ba or at the end of the sentence. Mula rito normally is at the end. Lang (“only”) is the short form of lamang.

NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

Aalis means “will leave/will depart.”
(Ang marks the topic of a sentence, so ang alis means “the departure.”)

Sa marks the directional focus. It may be translated as “in,” “at,” “to,” or “from” and may be preceded by a more specific preposition; e.g., para sa maynila, “for Manila,” mula sa Maynila, “from Manila.” Notice that sa is also used for time: “at seven o’clock” sa alas siyete.

Balikan means “round trip.”

Nga is equivalent to “please”; nga po is the polite form.

Anong is ano (“what”) with the linker -ng.

Dating is “arrival.” (Ang dating, “the arrival”; darating, “will arrive.”)

Maraming is marami (“plenty”) with the linker -ng.

• Tagalized Spanish numbers are generally used for prices and for telling time.
