0:45 are you ready here we go hi i'm erica it's nice to meet you did you get it let's take it step by step start by saying this means how are you but it's commonly used to say hi in filipino next say akosi i am and then your name my name is erica so i'll say
1:32 erica finally say this means it's nice to meet you next we're going to learn how to introduce ourselves in formal filipino but first i'll teach you two words that turns any filipino sentence formal they are po and opo all filipinos learn these two words when they are young because they are a must when speaking politely to those who are older
2:19 now here's how to introduce yourself informal filipino how are you i'm erica it's nice to meet you camo did you notice the word po in this introduction let's compare it with the informal introduction we learned earlier first we have kamusta instead of just kamusta as we've said before kamusta means how are you and has essentially the same used as hai in english
3:05 it comes from the spanish phrase como esta we add the word po to this to make it polite for the next sentence there is no need to change akosi or i am however saying your full name is considered more formal in the philippines we say our first names first and last names last finally pay attention to the ending we is changed to the plural pronoun to make the sentence more formal the pronoun is moved to the front of the verb and ng is added to connect the words
3:52 finally we also add to the sentence to show respect one more time the informal way to introduce yourself and filipino is kamusta the formal way to introduce yourself is kamustapo now it's time for erica's tips have you gotten hold of saying well you might be surprised but filipinos say nice to meet you more often than its filipino counterpart this is because many english words and phrases are used in daily conversation since english is the second official
4:38 language of the philippines filipinos also shake hands during first meetings just like in many western cultures but of course if you use the proper filipino introduction your new filipino friends will definitely be impressed in the last lesson we learned how to introduce ourselves in filipino in this lesson we're going to learn how to use good manners as we thank people handana are you ready then let's go here's how we say thank you in filipino it's very easy means thank you when saying thank you very much you just need to add maraming
5:24 maraming salamat marami means a lot and the ng is a connector added to marami to connect marami and salamat maraming salamat literally means many thanks and is equivalent to thank you very much during the last lesson we mentioned the informal and formal way of speaking filipino salamat is the informal way to thank someone when thanking someone older than you you need to use the polite formal form do you remember what we need in order to do that that's right we just need to add the word po
6:14 if you really want to thank someone in a formal setting you can add maraming which means a lot as we have just learned now how do you answer it's easy just say literally means it's nothing but it is the equivalent of you are welcome voila means nothing while anuman stands for whatsoever it is a very common phrase to say when replying to a friend or a stranger who is thanking you to make it formal and more polite just
6:59 add so when someone says salamat or maraming salamat to you you can simply reply with walang aluman now it's time for erica's tips the word salamat is said to have been of semitic origin it sounds similar to the arabic salam and the hebrew shalom meaning peace filipino has been influenced by many languages throughout history so don't be surprised if you find similar sounding words from other languages most especially spanish words in the last lesson we learned how to be
7:45 grateful to people by saying salama in this lesson we'll learn some of the most common greetings used in the philippines are you ready then let's start first we'll learn the greetings we use when meeting people do you remember this from the first lesson literally means how are you but it is used as hi or hello musta is a shortened version of kamusta which you can use when greeting friends musta for formal situations we use kamusta

9:17 during the evening there is only one greeting and that is magandang gabi magandang gabi maganda means beautiful or good the connector ng is added to connect maganda and gabi in formal situations you just need to add to the filipino greetings i've already mentioned are you ready for more next are some greetings we use when leaving to say goodbye in filipino we say

10:48 them all again here are the greetings we use when meeting people kamusta magandang arou magandang umaga for greeting people who are older than you just add po it's easy isn't it now it's time for erica's tips another famous greeting you might hear in the philippines is mabuhay this literally means live but it's used to mean welcome
11:34 it is used in formal situations like when welcoming an audience during events or when welcoming people into the country but not necessarily when welcoming guests to your home in the last lesson we learned the most common greetings in filipino do you remember them in this lesson we're going to learn a very useful phrase do you speak english this phrase can be a lifesaver the majority of filipino people understand english but if you ask in filipino you can be sure that everyone will understand what you're saying even if their answer is no here's the informal way to ask it
12:22 ingles let's break down the sentence in filipino the verb can come before the subject means speaking followed by ka which means you next there is ba which is the question marking particle after it comes nang which acts as an object marking particle marking english which as you might have guessed is english another common way to ask if someone can speak english is english literally this means can you do english now we're going to make these sentences
13:09 formal filipinos follow the spanish custom of changing a singular pronoun plural in order to show respect in formal situations so we change ka to kayo and then move it after ba we also need to add po as a sign of respect everything else stays the same english english if you want to be even more formal you can add moalang before the sentence
13:55 it means excuse me so excuse me do you speak english here are some common responses you might hear oh yes no hindi now it's time for erica's tips for those of you who are not only english speakers you can use this question with any language you need

15:29 hi everybody i'm erika welcome to filipinopod101.com filipino minuto the fastest easiest and most fun way to learn filipino in the last lesson we learned the phrase excuse me do you speak english we mentioned the phrase which means excuse me informal filipino in this lesson we're going to learn how to use this and other words when apologizing in filipino we can use mawalangalang when we need to stop someone to ask a question it literally means just to be rude but
16:14 it's used to mean excuse me for example palenque excuse me where is the market there is another phrase we used to mean excuse me and that is however is used when you have bothered someone and could also mean i'm sorry um exclusively for formal situations for informal situations filipinos usually just say
17:01 excuse me but if there is something you really want to apologize for it might be better to use a different phrase that phrase is it means please forgive me in this used in informal situations in formal situations we say here we added po and turned the second person pronoun into plural another common phrase filipinos use for apologizing is passenger
17:50 this phrase is usually heard from shopkeepers when apologizing to customers it can be translated as please be patient with us now it's time for erica's tips in the philippines it is normal to simply say excuse me or i'm sorry since english is commonly used in conversation you could also add bo to these phrases to make them sound a bit more formal and sincere excuse me po or excuse po i'm sorry po or sorry in the last lesson we learned quite a few phrases used when apologizing in filipino in this lesson we are going to learn numbers in filipino that's right numbers
18:37 and you are going to learn them in only three minutes are you ready let's start isa is
19:30 okay now repeat after me i'll say the numbers and give you time to repeat each one anime great job try to remember these numbers by heart because you'll see them again in bigger numbers do you know what is before isa here's a clue it's almost the same as in english
20:17 it's zero now let's continue from 11. la lima
21:08 these numbers may seem longer and harder to remember but they basically follow a simple rule which is la plus connector plus the numbers one to nine in filipino the connector is usually n a if the letter before it is a consonant and n g if the letter before it is a vowel in this case since la b ends with i then we'll be using the ng connector however nz sometimes changes its form depending on the letter that follows it for the letters d l r s and t the g from n g is dropped to make it easier to pronounce
21:57 if a p follows the ng connector the mg becomes an m just like in la bimpito now it's time for erika's tips filipinos don't exclusively use the filipino way of counting as i've said before english is commonly used in the philippines so it is very common for us to count in english as well but that's not all sometimes we even use the spanish way of counting especially when telling the time in the last lesson we learned the numbers from issa to la bincham do you remember them well let's not stop there now i'll give you the tense
22:52 i just like 11 to 19 from the last lesson the tense also has a common formula it is the numbers one to nine plus connector plus pu as i mentioned the connector is usually an a if the letter before it is a consonant and mg if the letter before it is a vowel i also mentioned that if a p follows the ng connector then it becomes an m
23:38 now here's one more thing if the vowel before m is an o then that also changes and becomes a u just like in tatampu and so on finally one last thing to note is that for the number 10 we say and not isam are you ready to try making compound numbers out of the numbers we've learned i promise it's easier how would you say 56 in filipino let's take it step by step fifty is just add end at in its contracted form and then six anim so it will be
24:24 done isn't that easy let's try another number for instance 98 take ready for more challenge how do we say 100 in filipino it is isa which is one followed by the connector ng then which is hundred now let's try counting up to 999. for compound numbers in the hundreds the formula is numbers one to nine plus connector
25:09 plus done plus numbers 20 to 99. for example 169 is isangdaan animnaputsam one thing to note is that the an becomes when the na connector is used for example 492. for compound numbers with 1 to 19 you have to add an at after saying the hundred for example 401 is and now it's time for erica's tips conjugation may be the trickiest part in learning filipino but it is done mostly to make sentences sound more natural and
25:55 easier to pronounce so don't worry if you can nail it down yet people will still understand you just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it can you believe it after only two lessons you can now count up to 999 in filipino in the next lesson we are going to put your number knowledge to use do you have all the skills you need to go shopping in the philippines let's learn it together in the next filipinos lesson in the previous lessons we learned how to count in filipino i hope you spend some time practicing the numbers because they will come in handy today we're going to learn how to go shopping in the philippines before we go you need to know how to say how much is this
26:45 are you ready to go shopping in the philippines let's go you see something you like and want to ask the shop clerk how much it costs first you might want to say either ate older sister or cuya older brother it's common in the philippines to call a sales clerk atte or kuya to show respect to them means how much and ito means this to be more polite you just add to the phrase if you want to be more specific when asking how much is this
27:31 and refer to a certain type of object we need to add the connector ng to ito and then the object that you want to buy for example a hat is sombrero ate it so the shopkeeper will usually answer by simply saying the price is or even the price without the peso
28:20 you might also hear them use the word lang meaning only or just to imply that the price is cheap for example what is isangdan i'm not telling you okay okay it's 100. the hat costs 100 pesos now it's time for erica's tips it is common to haggle in philippine bargain markets so when buying don't forget to say my bawas papo meaning is there a discount just remember it's easier to get discounts if you're polite so don't forget those posts happy shopping at this point can you count pesos in
29:06 filipino we're going to learn how to do this and much more in the next lesson i'll see you in the next filipinos at that long minute lessons [Music] you
