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”).

NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

Polo baróng is a short-sleeved version of the traditional barong Tagalog. The barong Tagalog is a long-sleeved, usually embroidered dress shirt worn on formal occasions; traditionally it is white, although some are now also available in pastel colors. These shirts are worn over pants and without a tie.

Burdadong is burdado (“embroidered”) plus -ng linker.

Isukat ko means “tryon by me.” Maaari bang isukat ko ang kulay asul? literally is “Can the blue color be tried on by me?”
