Anne: Puwede bang bumili ng kalahating kilo? Could I buy half a kilo?
Tindera: Opo. Eto po ang karne ninyo. Yes, ma’am. Here’s your beef.
Tindera: Ano po ang ibig ninyong bilhin? What would you like to buy?
Anne: Pagbilhan mo ako ng isang taling sitaw at apat na hinog na kamatis. Sell me one bundle of string beans and four ripe tomatoes.
Tindera: Eto po. Hindi ba kayo bibili ng prutas ngayon? Here you are, ma’am. Aren’t you going to buy some fruit today?
Anne: O0, ibig ko ng isang piling na saging, dalawang malalaking hinog na mangga, at saka bayabas. Yes, I would like a bunch of bananas, two big ripe mangoes, and also some guavas.
Tindera: lIang kilong bayabas po, ale? How many kilos of guavas, ma’am?
Anne: Mga tatlong kilo lang. Magkano ang lahat? About three kilos only. How much for everything?
Tindera: Disinuwebe pesos at singkuwenta sentimos. Nineteen pesos and fifty centavos.
Anne: Eto ang bayad. Here’s the payment.
Tindera: Maraming salamat. Babalik kayo, suki! Many thanks. Come back again (patron)!

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.
