    Spain is a lovely country. I’ve only ever been to Catalunya.
    I noticed Filipinos use plural Spanish words for singular nouns. For example, we say isang veces when it should be isang vez.
    We also say iisang voces instead of iisang voz.
    I hope Spanish is brought back in the Philippines.

    Here are some greater similarities between Spanish and Chavacano based on the words you gave as examples. The words on the left column are in Spanish and the ones on the right are in Chavacano.
    Domingo (Sunday) = Domingo (Sunday)
    Colchón (mattress) = Corchon or Colchon (mattress)
    Cerrado (closed) = Cerrao (closed or already closed)
    Entende (understand) = Entendé or Entendér or Entíende (to understand)
    Seguro (sure) = Seguro or Siguro (maybe), and probably a meaning we had from the influence of the Tagalog language or the Filipino national language, but we also use "Puede ser" for "maybe", "can be", or "most probably", and we use "Segurao" to mean "sure, secured, safe, or assured"
    Peluca (wig) = Peluca (wig)
    Siempre (always) = Siempre (both mean "always" and "of course" depending on the context of a phrase or sentence)
    Demasiado (too much) = Demasiao (too much)
    Sigue (follow) = Sigue or Sigui (follow, to follow, to go after, to go with, or to go along), but we also use "Sigue" to mean "alright then, ok, all right, let's do it, sure, or sure then" or also to mean "go on or go ahead", and we exclusively use "sigui" with an "i" to mean "to follow".
    Derecho (right/quality of being correct, good, just, or appropriate, also to mean straight, upright, direct, or erect, and also mean the position, location, or direction of right or the ride side when attached to masculine words) = Derecho (with the same meaning as in Spanish except the last one about the position, direction, or location of right or the right side)
    Derecha (right/the direction, position, or location of right or the right side, and also means the same thing when attached to feminine words) = Derecha (the same meaning as in Spanish), but we exclusively use the word "derecha" for all words it attaches to, and we don't change it to "derecho" even we attach it to masculine words.
    La mierda (the shit, the pooo, or the crap) = Lamierda (the same meaning as in Filipino or Tagalog), because we do not have the word "mierda" in Chavacano to mean shit, crap, or poop. We also do not use the word "la" and we only use it with some phrases. We use the word "sucio" (which means dirty, unclean, or nasty in Spanish) to mean "poop", or the word "tai" (which came from Tagalog word "tae") to also mean the "poop".
    Salvaje (wild, feral, untamed, savage, or fierce) = Salvaje (evil, cruel, bad) and has the same meaning like in Filipino or Tagalog.

    Thanks for the video. Very informative and helpful. My mother spoke the dialect in Antique…..and sunday is called “domingo”. As far as “derecho or diretso”…”Filipinas” may have learned it from México (the galleon trade between Mexico & Filipinas). In Mexico, they use “derecho” when they mean straight as in “va derecho” (go straight) or “va todo derecho” (go straight all the way). Just the same, I like the way you present your vlogs, polite and professional. I have always enjoyed my visits to Spain and will be looking forward to your next vlog about España.

  • @ext1013
    @ext1013 3 роки тому +5

    I was actually did a research why these two words turned out to have a totally different translation. I know it's part of history between the two countries. Anyway, why did the word 'puto' means, sweet rice or cake in tagalog but the word 'puta' means what it means. This is probably how Spanish men wanted filipinos to remember them. It's pretty funny I guess. One time, I offered some sweet rice to an Ecuadorian office mate and the wrapper has the word 'puto' written on it and she was laughing and confused but politely refused the sweet. We had a good laugh. I enjoy your video.

    • @AlexinMadrid
      @AlexinMadrid  3 роки тому

      Hi! From what I’ve read so far, the word “puto” meaning rice cake is not of Spanish origin, and existed before the Spanish came. So it seems like it’s just a coincidence that can sometimes have a funny result. 😊 Thanks for watching! 💜

    • @JosephOccenoBFH

    In the Middle part and southern part of the Philippines, our local dialects here are actually more similar with spanish, we have a lot of words in our dialect that are not in Tagalog, like our "Sunday" is "Domingo", "To continue" is "Sigue/sigue" and a lot more,

    The depth of the explanations, given its 8-minute length, is nothing less than impressive. Are you both in the academia? You both gave such a nuanced take on how some of those loan words have taken off on a linguistic journey of their own and developed altered meanings albeit still showing their Spanish DNA. Nothing surprising given the passage of time and the geographical distance between the two countries. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Alex. By the way, your friend mentioned that there are 20,000 Spanish loan words in the Filipino language, which is way beyond what I had read/heard before --- 4,000 to 5,000. What is the source of her information? (edited for typos)

    One I know is the word "aburido". In spanish it means "bored" and sometimes in Filipino as well, but most of the times the meaning evolves into futuristic tense. i.e. intead of simply implying "bored", it turns into "what you feel or do when you are bored" such as "worried", "in a hurry", "disturbed feeling", "very uncomfortable", etc.
    Plus Dominggo is also used but not in conversational purpose, but people would know what it means.

    Just found your UA-cam channel...love it!!!....am an American-born Pinoy, raised in Dagupan (age 2-12) with yayas from Iloilo, grew up speaking Pangasinense in elementary school, Ilongoo/Bisayan/Hiligaynon with our yayas at home, learned Tagalog from the movies and tv...studied Spanish, on return to US, in high school and college in Massachusetts, served in the Navy throughout South America where my Spanish improved to a passable level...Ilonggo/Hiligaynon has a lot more Spanish sounding-words/phrases in its vocabulary, such as, abreha ang puertahan for abre la puerta versus Tagalog with buksan ang pintô..., or, kabalo ka pa tokar? sabes tocar (la musica)?, maronong ka ba mag-patugtog?...it seems to me, anyway...love to see a full, scholarly juxtaposition of all these languages, some day...by someone, group of scholars-linguists...too bad the old timer padres and madres (priests and nuns) could not have done this task years ago!!!???

    Just wanna say that the counterpart of spanish word "Demasiado" in Tagalog is "Masyado" not "di Masyado" because that is not a single word in Tagalog, it is actually a phrase consisting of two tagalog words which is "hindi/di" and "masyado", "hindi/di" means not, and "masyado" means Too much.
    you should have compared "demasiado" with "masyado" only then they would have the same meaning by then and they are single words, probably the reason why this absorbed Spanish word got shorten/cut through the years by Filipinos and why it only just became "masyado" is maybe because of some redundancy issues with our ancestors before since the last syllable of "hindi" is the same with the first syllable of "demasiado", i'm not really sure on this, it's just a hard guess on how it turned out to be like that, but one thing i'm sure of is that "Hindi/Di masyado" is two words and not one, we don't write or speak "Hindi" as "di" in formal setting, we only say this when we speak to people informally, like in a casual setting way. i hope this explanation helps on that one. :)) great video overall

    • @AlexinMadrid
      @AlexinMadrid  4 роки тому +1

      Hi! Thanks for your input. You’re absolutely right that “demasiado” and “masyado” do mean the same thing. I was not really making a direct comparison of those two words, as I did spell “di masyado” as two separate words. I put it on the list simply because hearing the word “demasiado” here can really be confusing for Filipinos (it certainly was for me!) which is the point of the video. Thanks for watching! 😊

    I think Filipinos use the Spanish words as they learned from the Spaniards, therefore they apply the meaning of the words as they were used in the old Spanish learned in the period of the Spanish conquest. This same situation occurs in Latin America where sometimes words vary in meaning from country to country and we are even surprised when we realize that they have another meaning.
    In that sense, It is possible that Filipinos understood an "herbolario" as an "herbalist" (as a traditional healer, as a folk healer, or as a medicine man).

      @AlmaMarcelaGosso1 3 роки тому

      In some Latin American countries we use the word "curandero" (witch-doctor) instead of "herbolario" to refer to a folk healer or medicine man, and nowadays we use "médico tradicional" (traditional doctor) to refer to a person who uses herbs or other methods of nature to heal people, but in general it implies in my country that the person studied in some institute or university at first to practice and to get experience. Also in others Latin American countries, like Cuba, they use the word "yerbero" or "hierbero", to refer to a person using herbs to heal, as expressed in this old song by Celia Cruz, the famous cuban singer: ua-cam.com/video/FgISQjAMT-U/v-deo.html

    • @AlmaMarcelaGosso1
      @AlmaMarcelaGosso1 3 роки тому +1

      Going to the meanings of "herbolario" in Spanish, these are the three meaning that I know here in my country:
      - An "herbolario" can be a "tienda" (store), a health food shop: herbalist's (shop), health-food shop, health food store, herbalist's shop, herbs shop.
      It's important to mention that in general here in my country we use "herbolaria" more than "herbolario" to indentify this type of store.
      - Also a "herbolario" can be a "colección" (plant collection): herbarium.
      - And a "herbolario" can be a "persona" (a person who is dedicated to collecting medicinal wild plants to sell them): herbalist, herb doctor, herbs expert, herborist.

      Yes it certainly seems like some of the Spanish words we use in Tagalog are quite outdated. Also it does seem like some terms were just written according to how they sound, which explains the changes in spelling.

    Hello, I am Latin American and I want to explain something to you about the word "sigue" (which comes from the verb seguir).
    I give this example, when you ask a person to explain something that they are doing incorrectly or it does not have logic and the person begins to argue without making sense what they say, it is likely that tired you would say: "Okay, sigue, sigue". This is a way of cutting off communication and telling the person: "Enough, you don't convince me. Okay, Go away"
    In this case, the Philippine way of using "sige" is very similar because what you would be saying is "Okay", I think.
    In Colombia, for example, when you talk with someone and reach a verbal and informal agreement, you will say at the end to the interlocutor the word "dále" which is equivalent to the Filipino "sige". Also in Colombia "dále" or "dále pues" is used replacing the word "Está bien" or "de acuerdo" (“all right", or "okay". In other words, "dále" or "dále pues" is used as an affirmative response to a proposal or invitation and is very similar to that "sige" in Philippines.
    The use of dale is also currently used in Panama, a bordering country with Colombia.

      Muchísimas gracias! I really want to learn words that have greatly different meanings in Latin America. For example, I’ve heard that “coger” can mean something else over there and might get you in trouble if you use it even in a seemingly innocent way 😝

    • @AlmaMarcelaGosso1
      @AlmaMarcelaGosso1 3 роки тому

      @@AlexinMadrid hahahahahahaha, yes.
      In Spain, as in Latin America too, this verb means “to take,” as in “take the bus,” or “coger el bus.” Coger also mean to catch, to get or to pick, but in some Latin American countries, as mine, "coger" colloquially means to f**k, as in to have sex with.
      This particular meaning of the word "coger" is related to what is connotation and denotation. You know, words usually denote and connote simultaneously. Denotation is the meaning that a word has isolated, out of context, by itself, as it appears defined in the dictionary; while connotation is the set of subaltern, affective meanings that the word acquires within a statement, according to the context in which it is used.
      I'd like to give more details about this meaning of "coger", I mean when one might get in troubles and why and when it is used, etc, but I'd prefer you to send me your e-mail address to ticlongpipi@gmail.com so that I can repply as soon as I receive it and explain you.

    "derecho" is a common term in Mexican spanish to say "straight". In other spanish dialects they most likely use "recto" and also in Mexico you would be understood, but it's more common to say "derecho" as in: "Vaya derecho", "Camine todo derecho". So Diretso comes directly from the Mexican spanish. And that's easy to understand since Spain controlled The Philippines from the Mexico City.

    Hi Gidj! In Kapampangan, Sunday is Dumingu; much closer to Spanish (Domingo) than Tagalog's Linggo. Interestingly, Kapampangans are also known not to have the "H" sound when there's a word starts with an "H" (or simply has an "h") like "hito" is called "itu" in Kapampangan, or "halo halo" is "alu-alu," and for the longest time, I've been guessing it's from the Spanish language where the letter "H" is silent. Inversely, when there's no "H," Kapampangans are also known to have the "H" sound, for example, my grandmother would say, "Haurora" When calling our Aunt Aurora.
    The Herbolario and Arbularyo makes sense in a way since Arbularyos were known to use various herbs to heal their "patients."

    "Kubeta" in the Filipino national language or the Tagalog regional language usually can mean the toilet in general, the toilet room or rest room, the toilet itself or the toilet seat, and even a cabinet, a small room, or a closet, or some enclosed thing with an opening.
    In Spanish, a "cubeta" can mean a bucket, tray, keg, container, a trash can, a rectangular tray or container of some sort, or an open cylindrical container of some sort.
    I guess the word "cubeta" and its relation to "kubeta" might not have to do with some Filipinos before using a bucket as a toilet or used it as something where to poop or urinate into, but maybe because the toilet or the toilet seat looks like a bucket or a container. I am not sure though about the exact etymology of the word "kubeta" and its relation to "cubeta", but I just based it on my experience as a Zamboangueño and Chavacano speaker myself. With most Chavacano-speaking people I knew and met, we sometimes refer to the toilet or the toilet seat as a "basín" (read as: /ba-sin/) or a "bowl", which all came from the English words "basin" and "bowl", and maybe became loanwords or borrowed words in our language because of the toilet or the toilet seat's form and shape like a basin or a bowl, instead of just calling it as "inodoro" or "excusado"/"escusado" as it should be called in Chavacano.
