Pagbati at Pagpapakilala
Greetings and Introductions

 

Gng. Cruz:	Magandang gabi po.	Good evening.
Bob Turner:.	Magandang gabi po naman, Gng. Cruz. Kumusta po kayo?	Good evening (too), Mrs. Cruz. How are you?
Gng. Cruz:	Mabuti po naman, at kayo?	Quite well, and you?
Bob Turner:.	Mabuti po naman. Ginang Cruz, ito po si Anne, maybahay ko.	Quite well, Mrs, Cruz, this is Anne, my wife.
Gng. Cruz:.	Ikinagagalak kong makilala kayo, Ginang Turner.	I’m pleased to meet you, Mrs. Turner.
Anne Turner:.	Nagagalak din po akong makilala kayo, Ginang Cruz.	I’m also pleased to meet you, Mrs. Cruz.

Notes on the Conversation

Magandang is maganda (literally, “nice,” “pretty,” or “beautiful”) plus the linker –ng. One of the functions of a linker is to connect words which form phrases.

Po is a particle used in respectful address, roughly equivalent to “sir” or “ma’am.”

Kumusta, from the Spanish como está, means “How are you?”

Kayo, the plural form of ka (“you”), is used for politeness, even when addressing one person.

Si is used to mark the topic or subject of a sentence when it is someone’s name.

Ko is “me,” “my,” or “mine.”

Kong is ko plus the linker –ng.

Din and naman both mean “also,” “too.” In expressions like Mabuti po naman, naman is used like “quite” or “pretty” in such English expressions as “quite well,” “pretty well/fine.

Nagagalak and ikinagagalak are two different verbs formed from the base galak (“happiness”).

Nagagalak akong makilala kayo means literally, “I am pleased that you are introduced.”

Ikinagagalak kong makilala kayo is literally, “That you are introduced pleases me.”

Both sentences say the same thing, but the first focuses on the feeling of the speaker, while the latter focuses on the cause for the feeling.

Sa Pilipinas
In the Philippines

Gng. Cruz:	Ginoo at Ginang Turner, gusto kong ipakilala sa inyo ang mga kaibigan ko, sina Ginoo at Ginang Ramos.	Mr. and Mrs. Turner, I would like to introduce to you my friends Mr. and Mrs. Ramos.
Bob Turner:	Nagagalak kaming makilala kayo.	We are pleased to meet you.
G. Ramos:	Gayon din po kami. Matagal na ba kayo sa Pilipinas?	Likewise. Have you been in the Philippines long?
Bob Turner:	Hindi po, dalawang buwan lamang.	No, sir, two months only.
G. Ramos:	Gusto ba ninyo ang Pilipinas?	Do you like the Philippines?
Anne Turner:	Opo, gustung-gusto namin. Maganda ang Pilipinas pero mainit.	Yes, we like it very much. The Philippines is beautiful but hot.
Gng. Ramos:	Taga-saan po kayo?	Where are you from?
Bob Turner:	Taga-Michigan po. Taga Olongapo po ba kayo?	From Michigan, ma’am. Are you from Olongapo?
Gng. Ramos:	Hindi po. Taga-Maynila kami.	No, sir. We’re from Manila.

NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

Ipakilala (“to introduce”) and makilala (“to meet”) are formed from kilala (“acquaintance”).

Inyo is the plural of iyo (“you”); sa inyo means “to you.”

Ang, usually translated as “the,” marks the topic of the sentence.

Mga (pronounced /manga/) is a particle placed before a noun to form the plural. It may be used with or without ang.

Sina is the plural of si (subject marker), used when referring to someone by name.

Kaming is kami (“we”) plus the linker -ng.

Nagagalak kami means “we are pleased.” Compare it with nagagalak ako, “I am pleased.” (Notice that the form of the verb does not change.)

Gayon din is literally “same also.”

Matagal na means “a long time now.”

Na is “this time,” “now I” or ” “already.”

Ninyo means “to you” or “by you.” Notice that in Gusto ba ninyo ang Pilipinas? ninyo means “by you” and ang Pilipinas is the topic, so a more literal translation might be “Is the Philippines liked by you?” Gusto is derived from Spanish and can mean “like,” “want,” or “would like.”

Ba is a particle used in “yes” or “no” questions.

Namin means “us.”

Taga means “from” and refers to place of birth.

*      *      *

The Pilipino verb system does not have the same kind of tense distinctions as English. There are only three so-called “tenses” of a verb in Pilipino:

Completed action: Perfective
Action begun but not completed: Imperfective
Action not yet begun: Contemplated

The two verbs ikinagagalak (from the infinitive ikagalak) and nagagalak (from the infinitive magalak) show incomplete actions, i.e., imperfective.

“Infinitive” Prefix + Base	Imperfective .
ika + galak	ik-in-a-ga-galak
ma + galak	na-ga-galak

The rules for forming the imperfective depend on the prefix. Notice only that the imperfectives have syllables with an “n” and both repeat the first syllable of the base. Another example:

ipa + kilala        ip-in-a-ki-kilala
ma + kilala        na-ki-kilala

In Pilipino, the verb does not change whether the subject is singular or plural. Example:

Ipinakikilala sina Ginoo at Ginang Turner kina Ginoo at Ginang Ramos.

(Mr. and Mrs. Turner are being introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Ramos.)

Ipinakikilala si Bob kina Ginoo at Ginang Ramos.

(Bob is being introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Ramos.)

Juan, gusto kong ipakilala sa iyo si Bob, kaibigan ko.
Juan, I would like to introduce to you Bob, my friend.

*Notice that inyo (the plural of “you”) is used for respect even though only one person is being addressed. *”My” is aking when it precedes the noun and ko when it follows.

Saan Kayo Nakatira?
Where Do You Live?

Gng.Ramos:	May anak po ba kayo?	Do you have children?
Anne Turner:	Opo, mayroon. Mayroon kaming tatlo, dalawang lalaki at isang babae.	Yes, we have. We have three, two boys and one girl.

Gng. Ramos:	Gabi na. Hindi na po kami makapagtatagal. Paalam na po.	It’s (getting) late. We can’t stay longer. Good-bye.
Anne Turner:	Adiyos. Magkita tayong muli.	Good-bye. Let’s see each other again.

NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

May can mean “have” or “has,” “there is,” “there are,” “there was,” or “there were.”

Mayroon is the same as may but usually used in responding to a may question.

Kami is “we” (“I and others”).

Makapagtatagal means “to be able to stay longer.” This is the usual way to say you have to leave whether you’re visiting or run into someone on the street.

Tayong (tayo plus the linker –ng) means “we” (“you and I and others”); compare it with kami (“I and someone else or others, but not you”). Pilipino makes a distinction between “we” when the person being addressed is included (tayo) or excluded (kami).

Paalam is the formal “good-bye,” and is used by the person who leaves first. More commonly used terms, such as “0, sige na” or “Hanggang bukas,” will also be heard.

Adiyos (“good-bye”) is used as a response to paalam.

Audio for this lesson

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.
