@@AlexinMadrid Did he mean "Greetings from Dominican Republic. Your video is very informative! More video to come please!!. Am I right of my translation?
Hi Alex, I would like to add the word, Atrevido/Atrevida - In spanish means Daring. In Filipino means Nosy. As an Ilonggo we also have the word "Meter" which is equivalent in filipino as nosy however in spanish means "to get yourself into" (Meterse).
Thanks for your input! I remember the word “atrevida” being used in that way by my grandmother 😊 The word “entrometido/a”, the Spanish word for nosy, is similar to the the way you use “meter” in Ilonggo. Is there a noun you use for it? Like “metido” or something like that?
Hi again Ms. Alex. I have done some researching about the topic in this video and I hope you don't mind if add some of those here. Thanks.

And because of internet alam ko na ang mga mga pinamana ng mga spanish sa mga filipino sana mabalik ang spanish language sa pinas kas yun naman talaga ang nauna kahit pangatlong language nalang its about of tradition and culture on old memories
Actually sa pagkaka-alala ko parang May takeover na sa Pilipinas by the Koreans sa dami ng Korean groceries, restaurants, English schools, at iba pa nilang business doon 😝
@@AlexinMadrid kaya nga po eh puros chinese and korean ang nakikita ko dito sa pinas kahit spanish wala pa ako nakakasalubong dito.🤣☺ but okey lang nanatili parin nmn ang iniwan nilang mga pamana sa mga filipino ☺
I am learning Tagalog in Manila.. it's very interesting to know this.. Another word like "chupa-chupas" ( that's actually the first word that i found it's similar to Spanish 🤣)
actually bolero/bolera in tagalog also has the connotation of a "liar" because when someone says to you "bolera/bolero ka talaga" it could mean "you are really a liar" since he/she is telling a lie to praise the other
Saludos desde México! Es bueno saber que los filipinos aun mantengan hermandad con los latinos aun despues del intento de borrado cultural de estados unidos cuando fueron colonia
bastos could be from the philippines because spanish words sometimes don't pronounce the last letter. if basto came first filipinos wont add an s to it.
The Ilocanos use the following Spanish words: Entremitido(a) - nosy Andelantado(a) - advanced or one who is too impatient Letse (leche) - is a cuss word in both Tagalog and Ilocano, but it means milk in Spanish But more vulgar words used as insult words are: Karaho (carajo) Puñeta Konyo (coño) Note: rich, bourgeoisie pinoy kids have been called "shit-coño kids" because of their predilection to pepper their speech with those swear words in English and Spanish Lamierda is not necessarily a cuss or an insult word in Tagalog (unlike the Spanish la mierda), because it only means aimless, joyful gallivanting in tagalog
When my friend and I went to a nude spa, he called the desk guy “bakla”. I saw in the Latino’s eyes the look of indignant. Is that also a Spanish loan word?
A well chosen topic. If this were an in-person language class, am sure you will have a 100 percent attendance ... even if it is an 8:00 AM class in the midst of a pandemic : ) Who would want to miss a chance to learn how to insult (or swear) in another language? I live here in Vancouver (the Canadian one) that is very multicultural and it is funny (and guaranteed too) that among the most popular foreign words first-generation immigrants learn are insults and swear words. Two examples: many non-English speaking immigrants, even seniors, pick up sh*t and the F word in no time. Some even say them with gusto as if the act signifies entry into the mainstream society. I also notice ESL students learn many bad words from their fellow students' first languages. LOL! Tells you something about human nature --- people instinctively know the most effective words in a second language. Really enjoyed listening to your content and lighthearted style Alex. Heard in tonight's news about the COVID-19 second wave there in Spain and the neighbouring countries. Stay safe and sane.
Thanks so much for your insightful comment. I have to admit that I myself learned swear words quickly when I arrived here heheh Good to be reminded I’m not the only one with this fascination! I am staying safe here, thanks, I hope you are doing the same in Vancouver. 😊
Ask ko lang po noon ayaw ng mga filipino sa mga espanyol/kastila kase ginawang alipin ang mga filipino at matapobre daw yung mga kastila. Sa panahon po ba ngayon ganun parin po ba ang turing ng mga kastila sa mga filipino?
Napakaganda ng tanong mo. Ito naman ay obserbasyon ko lang. Sa pagkakaalam ko (pati na rin sa karanasan ko), maganda ang tingin ng mga Espanyol sa mga Pilipino bilang immigrant group. Ang tingin nila sa ating mga Pinoy na nandito ay masipag, malinis, at hindi mahilig sa gulo.
@@AlexinMadrid aw nakakatuwa naman kung ganun po kase pinagmulat kami sa mga nakaraan na pangyayari pero alam ko naman na magbabago din ang henerasyon. Mas maigi narin balikan at kilalanin ang mga naging parte na ng kasaysay.bakit nga ba kase hinayaan mawala ang language nila dito sa pinas yan tuloy kailangan ko pa mag-aral.☺
In Chavacano, these are the equivalent insult words we use: 1. Loca/Loca or Loko/Loka, or Loco Loco/Loca Loca, or Loco-loco/Loca-loca, or Loko-loko/Loka-loka = crazy, mentally-ill, naughty, joker, trickster, etc. It can also be used as a verb too. 2. Bobo/Boba (general), or Bobito/Bobita (usually for a child, younger person, or someone younger to you) = fool, slow learner, idiot, stupid 3. Inutil = generally means useless, but because of the national influence of the Filipino national language aka the Tagalog regional language, then it sometimes also means impotent in the sexual or reproductive context 4. Chismoso/Chismosa, or Tsismoso/Tsismosa (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling) = person who likes to gossip, or who likes to talk about and craft or make up stories and issues of the personal and private lives of neighbors, of family or clan members, of friends, or of other people 5. Pilyo/Pilya (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Pillo/Pilla = naughty or mean but in a lighter sense, and is usually applied to a kid/child or to a younger person 6. Demonyo/Demonya or Demonyito/Demonyita (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Demoño/Demoña or Demoñito/Demoñita = devil, devil-like, evil, mean, naughty in an evil or bad way. "Demonyo/Demoño" can also be simply used in Chavacano as a vulgar or informal expression of surprise, shock, anger, dismay, or misfortune. 7. Maldito/Maldita = naughty, mean, person with bad or evil attitude or behavior, and is a synonym of person who is with moderate "mal costumbre". Maldito/Maldita is like in between a Demoño/Demoña or Demoñito/Demoñita and Pillo/Pilla in terms of the level of badness, evil, or naughtiness of attitude or behavior. 8. Salbahe (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Salvaje = a person with bad, evil, or naughty and undesirable attitude or behavior, and is similar in meaning and level to a maldito/maldita, but salvaje has a more deeper meaning in the sense that one person is naughty, bad, evil, or mean, and is also less of a human, or more like an animal 9. Bruho/Bruha (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Brujo/Bruja or Burujo/Buruja = it can mean many things from being evil or bad; being or looking messy, messed up, or unclean, especially with one's face and hair; an old male or female (usually female) witch or sorcerer; a monster lurking from the shadows or the dark; or an equivalent of the Filipino "mumû" or the American "bogeyman" 10. Maton = goon, bully, or thug, and is only applied for men; may also mean a brave, or reckless, strong, big/large, or muscular guy 11. Sanggano (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Sangano, Zangano = goon, bully, or thug, and is only applied for men, and is usually from the urban slum areas 12. Bolero/Bolera = person who intentionally crafts, makes, or gives a compliment, oftentimes exaggerated compliments, in a very nice and flattering way, and sometimes as a joke aside from just trying to please you with nice and sweet words of compliment; also sometimes is a synonym of "mentiroso/mentirosa" , "pamparon", or "embustero/embustera" in Chavacano 13. Bastos = rude, crude, vulgar; a pervert, a sex maniac, or a sex offender, a person who does sexual harassment or other sexual offenses and crimes, a rapist, a perverted person; perverted onlooker, perverted spy, perverted viewer/looker/watcher, perverted "mirón" 14. Presko (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Fresco = a person who is rude but also proud, boastful, arrogant, overconfident, and sometimes narcissistic and self-centered, and is usually a man 15. Antipatiko/Antipatika (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Antipatico/Antipatica = rude, mean, snobbish, unfriendly, unsociable 16. Suplado/Suplada (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Soplado/Soplada = snobbish, mean, rude, narcissistic, self-centered, unfriendly, prideful, boastful, arrogant 17. Disgrasyada (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Desgrasyada, Disgraciada, Desgraciada (and other spelling variations) = an unmarried pregnant woman or lady, usually a young lady in her teenage or young adult years; a derogatory and highly offensive term used in a joke as a synonym for a single mother, and who stereotypically was an unmarried pregnant woman or lady without a husband or without the father of her child or children to raise the child or children with; a disgraced woman or lady; a miserable woman or lady with a very miserable or unfortunate life or had a miserable or unfortunate life through a miserable or unfortunate event, happening, situation, or circumstance. It can also be applied, though rarely, to a man as "disgrasyado, desgrasyado, disgraciado, or desgraciado", but only with the last meaning about having a miserable or unfortunate life 18. Impakto/Impakta (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Impacto/Impacta = evil entity, evil being, evil spirit, an evil Filipino mythical creature or being, a monster and usually a tiny or little monster; derogatory and offensive use of "impacto/impacta" means ugly, or to a person with malformed or distorted face, a monster, or to someone disfigured; a "tiyanak" or a baby/infant, vampiric/blood-sucking, and shape-shifting monster of Filipino mythology 19. Sutil = We do not use "sutil" that much in Chavacano, and so we do not have the word with the same meanings as in Filipino or Tagalog and in Spanish. We use instead "pillastron" or "pilyastron", "pillo/pilla" or "pilyo/pilya", "salawayun", and "durro cabeza" (hard-headed, stubborn) for the meaning in Filipino or Tagalog of "sutil", and we use "poco" , "un poco", "poquito", "un poquito" to mean "subtle" as how "sutil" in Spanish also means. I just don't know exactly if older Chavacano speakers uses "sutil" often, and on what does it really mean in Chavacano. 20. Gago = usually used in Chavacano for a baby, infant, toddler, kid, or child, or a young person, and generally used to all persons, who talks and speaks unintelligibly aka who talks or speaks in "baby talk" or in gibberish; or someone who talks or speak words that are not easy to understand or comprehend by anyone, especially by those who can speak or talk clearly; also applied in similar meanings, but as an offensive and derogatory term, to any person with a speech problem or issue in speaking or talking clearly such as persons with special needs, and those with disorders, impairments, or disabilities in their speech and language speaking, talking, and pronunciation; but this word is not exactly and not exclusively used for persons who stutter. We do not use the word "gaga" in Chavacano the same way as how "gago" is used. We also use the word or term "gago" in the meaning above for both male and female, and we do not usually use it as a noun referring to the person, but mostly as an adjective used to describe the person or someone's manner or way of unclear, gibberish, and unintelligible speech and pronunciation. Also because of the influences of the Filipino national language or the Tagalog regional language to our Chavacano language, mostly through mass media and education, we also acquired and adopted "gago/gaga" with the same meanings as in Filipino or Tagalog, and we as well acquired and adopted their meanings as a noun or for a person who is crazy, silly, or senseless. So in Chavacano, we usually use "gago" like, "The baby is still a gago because he/she still speaks gago or in a gago way/manner, and its kind of cute for the baby." or like, "My younger cousin, who is already in 7th Grade, still speaks gago, and it's quite abnormal for her/his age."
Thanks so much for your input! I would love to learn Chavacano to see how it relates to Spanish, as it is the language most closely related to it among all the Filipino languages. 😊
"Querida" in the Philippines means "mistress" instead of sweetheart" or "beloved". It may have taken this meaning because some husbands probably love their mistresses more than their wives.
Thanks Alex your vlog is so informative and very useful. I felt sorry to learn when Spanish subject was phased out in High School and College curriculum in PI. Knowing Spanish makes you correct the right usage of words in Tagalog especially when its origin is from Spanish. Ex.; Mapa-kali , yun bata hindi mapakali. This word could orignate from verb "Callar"?
Another great video! Learnt a lot and now I'm definitely gonna use loko loko o gago/a (we also have gaga in French! And English too, it is all coming from Spanish?!) Thanks!
As far as I can tell, “estúpido” and “puñeta” are used with pretty much the same meaning, although I haven’t personally heard the latter being used. As for the first word you mentioned, from what I remember, it’s not really used as a curse word in the Philippines, more like a term to describe posh people such as the “konyo kids”. To use that word in Spanish is quite vulgar as it refers to female genitalia. I hear it quite often though. 😝
There are 4 different dialects in Spain such as Basquez, Galazian and Castillan, they are also different meaning in one word. But Castillan is the national languages of Spain.
@@thornados4969 Actually the coastal Filipinos who encountered the Spanish when the union of Castile and Aragon was new (i.e. in 16th-17th c.) use "kastila" but the interior peoples reached in the 19th c. uses "espanyol."
when we say borrow does that mean we have to give these words back? Castilian or Spanish language borrowed a lot of words from Latin (Roman) as well which has its roots in Rome Italy.
I always found it Interesting that they are called “loanwords”, because like you stated in your question, it is a mystery as to whether you have to “repay” the loan 😝 Thanks for your comment! 😊
Araw araw maraming salita ang na iimbinto ang mga Pilipino...kaya habang tumagal ang mga salita ng Pilipino ay wala ng salin mula sa dictionary kaya ang salita ng mga Pilipino sinasali na sa dictionary...
From colonization of Spain in 333 years. The hypocrite politician form the dialect Tagalog dialect and become national language of Philippines but suppossed to be the national language is Cebuano not Tagalog because Cebuano are more volume of speakers than Tagalog, these cases had been brought to Congress and they had debating for that matter back then.
idk about you, but here in visayas Maldito is very widely used as to its female counterpart Maldita, maybe its only the tagalog people who rarely uses Maldito hahaha
I guesss the Tagalogs would always hear the Spanish saying one thing and doing another, that's why they misunderstood Spanish words. Take for example "siguro." The Tagalogs must have heard Spaniards saying "sure" but nothing happened so they assumed "siguro" meant "maybe." And they needed a stronger word for "sure" -- "sigurado," "assured.
@@AlexinMadrid my lola would always say letse when she is angry so for sure it’s an insult to the other person. I’m not sure what does it really mean ..... all I know it’s not a bad expression to say ...
There‘s a Spanish woman on UA-cam who is sharing Spanish culture as well. One of her topics was Spanish swear words. And in the comment section someone asked her if what really is the meaning of the Spanish insult „Me cago en la leche!“ and so i did a little research. This is what I found: In Spanish, this phrase is used frequently to express anger,frustration or disappointment, the same way that English speakers would say 'shit' or damn it. ¡Me cago en la leche! El fontanero no ha arreglado bien el fregadero. Damn it! The plumber hasn't fixed the sink properly.
We also used enseguida in chavacano derived from the spanish word en seguida but we don't mean that as immediately, its meaning in chavacano is all at once. Example: Chavacano: Ya cay el maga fruta enseguida cuando ya pasa el fuerte viento. Tagalog: Nahulog ng sabay- sabay ang mga pruta nang dumaan ang malakas na hangin. English: The fruits fell all at once when a strong wind passed by. Immediately is translated as "ahora mismo" or "ara daun" which are often use, or "emidiatamente" which is rarely used.
That’s probably true. I wonder if we would still have all our Filipino languages or if we would all have spoken just Spanish. I guess we’ll never know 😊
@@AlexinMadrid there is an old document that I read somewhere, Manila, Zamboanga and I think Cavite, spoke Castillan and other regions speak their own different languages during the Spanish period. It is also said that 10% of the population spoke spanish as their native tongue and 60% spoke it as their second langauge. Example is the intellectual giant Don Benito Legarda Jr. who spoke the original Filipino Spanish, which was the Spanish unique only to Filipinos, not the Mexican, Argentinian, nor from Spain, which is said to use old expressions no longer used in Spain.
@@AlexinMadrid hehe. yes po. although some of the bisaya words have been adapted na rin in tagalog in recent times. maybe we'll see gwapa or maldito being used more often soon.
We have a lot of insulting or curse words derived from spanish especially from mexican spanish like sinverguenza meaning walang hiya or ang kapal ng pagmumukha, pendeho, chingona, pendeho, tonto, torpe, amd some bleep words hehehehe. All derived from spanish.
How about (PUTO)the same word in Tagalog and Spanish but totally different meaning. It’s an insult in Spanish rather than Tagalog .. we love PuTo because it’s a dessert in the Philippines 🇵🇭 but an insult in Spanish .
"puto" the rice cake comes from malay (putu) and ultimately from a Dravidian language of southern India. "puta" meaning whore, however, definitely comes from Spanish.

All words that you featured here, we use that in our daily conversation except for sutil, it's mainly a tagalog word. For sutil which means stubborn in tagalog, we used purpiao, duro cabeza, duro pulso or as my father also say sordo.

@@AlexinMadrid pero mas gusto ng ibang filipino ang matututo mag korean kesa espanyol😂 sad but true db po
Actually sa pagkaka-alala ko parang May takeover na sa Pilipinas by the Koreans sa dami ng Korean groceries, restaurants, English schools, at iba pa nilang business doon 😝
@@AlexinMadrid kaya nga po eh puros chinese and korean ang nakikita ko dito sa pinas kahit spanish wala pa ako nakakasalubong dito.🤣☺ but okey lang nanatili parin nmn ang iniwan nilang mga pamana sa mga filipino ☺
In Visayas we use Maldito to young male
I am learning Tagalog in Manila.. it's very interesting to know this..
Another word like "chupa-chupas" ( that's actually the first word that i found it's similar to Spanish 🤣)
I’m glad you thought so. Good luck with your studies! 😊
actually bolero/bolera in tagalog also has the connotation of a "liar" because when someone says to you "bolera/bolero ka talaga" it could mean "you are really a liar" since he/she is telling a lie to praise the other
Yes that’s true, I usually use that word in that sense too! 😊
Saludos desde México! Es bueno saber que los filipinos aun mantengan hermandad con los latinos aun despues del intento de borrado cultural de estados unidos cuando fueron colonia
😊 Gracias por tu comentario!
@@AlexinMadrid Is it = "Thanks for your comment!"
Yes it is! 😊
Carinosa = affectionate / loving
Both in spanish and filipino
The word "Tonto" in tagalog and spanish has the same meaning.
Maraming salamat sa video. Natututo ako ng Tagalog at kahit na I don't wish to use these terms much, it's good to understand them.
Glad you learned something! As you said, it’s good to understand them even if you don’t use them 😊
Very interesting content now I know the roots of our bad words 🤣 it came from espanyol
Glad you leaned something! 😊
Echosera!
My beautiful lady 🌹 💖 🇵🇭 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
I love this series, it’s learning words on 3 different ways, Tagalog-English-Spanish
Glad to hear it! Thanks! 😊
bastos could be from the philippines because spanish words sometimes don't pronounce the last letter. if basto came first filipinos wont add an s to it.
This is absolutely so helpful for a starting learner like me
!Thank you so much^^
I’m glad you learned something! I hope to post similar videos soon. Good luck with your study of Spanish!
The Ilocanos use the following Spanish words:
Entremitido(a) - nosy
Andelantado(a) - advanced or one who is too impatient
Letse (leche) - is a cuss word in both Tagalog and Ilocano, but it means milk in Spanish
But more vulgar words used as insult words are:
Karaho (carajo)
Puñeta
Konyo (coño)
Note: rich, bourgeoisie pinoy kids have been called "shit-coño kids" because of their predilection to pepper their speech with those swear words in English and Spanish
Lamierda is not necessarily a cuss or an insult word in Tagalog (unlike the Spanish la mierda), because it only means aimless, joyful gallivanting in tagalog
Thanks for sharing! I hope to include these in future videos 😊
Very informative dear! Thankee!
Thanks for watching! 😊
I like how you explain..and you have a nice smilling personality😁😁you're good and smart thanks.
Thanks for your kind words and for dropping by! 😝
❤❤❤
This is interesting! I didn't know these come from Spanish words
Glad to hear it! Thanks for dropping by 😊
Lamyerda vs. La mierda, probably when you pasear pasear/pasyal with you dog so the dog will have his mierda outside the house! lol
In those days it’s easy to imagine that there was a lot of dog poo on the streets! 😝
When my friend and I went to a nude spa, he called the desk guy “bakla”. I saw in the Latino’s eyes the look of indignant. Is that also a Spanish loan word?
You're ths best sissy
Thanks as always for your support! Stay safe and healthy! 🤗
We used maldito here in cebu always same meaning also
Cebuano has so much Spanish! 😊
A well chosen topic. If this were an in-person language class, am sure you will have a 100 percent attendance ... even if it is an 8:00 AM class in the midst of a pandemic : ) Who would want to miss a chance to learn how to insult (or swear) in another language? I live here in Vancouver (the Canadian one) that is very multicultural and it is funny (and guaranteed too) that among the most popular foreign words first-generation immigrants learn are insults and swear words. Two examples: many non-English speaking immigrants, even seniors, pick up sh*t and the F word in no time. Some even say them with gusto as if the act signifies entry into the mainstream society. I also notice ESL students learn many bad words from their fellow students' first languages. LOL! Tells you something about human nature --- people instinctively know the most effective words in a second language.
Really enjoyed listening to your content and lighthearted style Alex. Heard in tonight's news about the COVID-19 second wave there in Spain and the neighbouring countries. Stay safe and sane.
Thanks so much for your insightful comment. I have to admit that I myself learned swear words quickly when I arrived here heheh Good to be reminded I’m not the only one with this fascination! I am staying safe here, thanks, I hope you are doing the same in Vancouver. 😊
Ask ko lang po noon ayaw ng mga filipino sa mga espanyol/kastila kase ginawang alipin ang mga filipino at matapobre daw yung mga kastila. Sa panahon po ba ngayon ganun parin po ba ang turing ng mga kastila sa mga filipino?
Napakaganda ng tanong mo. Ito naman ay obserbasyon ko lang. Sa pagkakaalam ko (pati na rin sa karanasan ko), maganda ang tingin ng mga Espanyol sa mga Pilipino bilang immigrant group. Ang tingin nila sa ating mga Pinoy na nandito ay masipag, malinis, at hindi mahilig sa gulo.
@@AlexinMadrid aw nakakatuwa naman kung ganun po kase pinagmulat kami sa mga nakaraan na pangyayari pero alam ko naman na magbabago din ang henerasyon. Mas maigi narin balikan at kilalanin ang mga naging parte na ng kasaysay.bakit nga ba kase hinayaan mawala ang language nila dito sa pinas yan tuloy kailangan ko pa mag-aral.☺
Oo nga, bahagi sila ng kasaysayan natin whether we like it or not 😊
In Chavacano, these are the equivalent insult words we use:
1. Loca/Loca or Loko/Loka, or Loco Loco/Loca Loca, or Loco-loco/Loca-loca, or Loko-loko/Loka-loka = crazy, mentally-ill, naughty, joker, trickster, etc. It can also be used as a verb too.
2. Bobo/Boba (general), or Bobito/Bobita (usually for a child, younger person, or someone younger to you) = fool, slow learner, idiot, stupid
3. Inutil = generally means useless, but because of the national influence of the Filipino national language aka the Tagalog regional language, then it sometimes also means impotent in the sexual or reproductive context
4. Chismoso/Chismosa, or Tsismoso/Tsismosa (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling) = person who likes to gossip, or who likes to talk about and craft or make up stories and issues of the personal and private lives of neighbors, of family or clan members, of friends, or of other people
5. Pilyo/Pilya (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Pillo/Pilla = naughty or mean but in a lighter sense, and is usually applied to a kid/child or to a younger person
6. Demonyo/Demonya or Demonyito/Demonyita (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Demoño/Demoña or Demoñito/Demoñita = devil, devil-like, evil, mean, naughty in an evil or bad way. "Demonyo/Demoño" can also be simply used in Chavacano as a vulgar or informal expression of surprise, shock, anger, dismay, or misfortune.
7. Maldito/Maldita = naughty, mean, person with bad or evil attitude or behavior, and is a synonym of person who is with moderate "mal costumbre". Maldito/Maldita is like in between a Demoño/Demoña or Demoñito/Demoñita and Pillo/Pilla in terms of the level of badness, evil, or naughtiness of attitude or behavior.
8. Salbahe (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Salvaje = a person with bad, evil, or naughty and undesirable attitude or behavior, and is similar in meaning and level to a maldito/maldita, but salvaje has a more deeper meaning in the sense that one person is naughty, bad, evil, or mean, and is also less of a human, or more like an animal
9. Bruho/Bruha (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Brujo/Bruja or Burujo/Buruja = it can mean many things from being evil or bad; being or looking messy, messed up, or unclean, especially with one's face and hair; an old male or female (usually female) witch or sorcerer; a monster lurking from the shadows or the dark; or an equivalent of the Filipino "mumû" or the American "bogeyman"
10. Maton = goon, bully, or thug, and is only applied for men; may also mean a brave, or reckless, strong, big/large, or muscular guy
11. Sanggano (from Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Sangano, Zangano = goon, bully, or thug, and is only applied for men, and is usually from the urban slum areas
12. Bolero/Bolera = person who intentionally crafts, makes, or gives a compliment, oftentimes exaggerated compliments, in a very nice and flattering way, and sometimes as a joke aside from just trying to please you with nice and sweet words of compliment; also sometimes is a synonym of "mentiroso/mentirosa" , "pamparon", or "embustero/embustera" in Chavacano
13. Bastos = rude, crude, vulgar; a pervert, a sex maniac, or a sex offender, a person who does sexual harassment or other sexual offenses and crimes, a rapist, a perverted person; perverted onlooker, perverted spy, perverted viewer/looker/watcher, perverted "mirón"
14. Presko (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Fresco = a person who is rude but also proud, boastful, arrogant, overconfident, and sometimes narcissistic and self-centered, and is usually a man
15. Antipatiko/Antipatika (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Antipatico/Antipatica = rude, mean, snobbish, unfriendly, unsociable
16. Suplado/Suplada (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Soplado/Soplada = snobbish, mean, rude, narcissistic, self-centered, unfriendly, prideful, boastful, arrogant
17. Disgrasyada (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Desgrasyada, Disgraciada, Desgraciada (and other spelling variations) = an unmarried pregnant woman or lady, usually a young lady in her teenage or young adult years; a derogatory and highly offensive term used in a joke as a synonym for a single mother, and who stereotypically was an unmarried pregnant woman or lady without a husband or without the father of her child or children to raise the child or children with; a disgraced woman or lady; a miserable woman or lady with a very miserable or unfortunate life or had a miserable or unfortunate life through a miserable or unfortunate event, happening, situation, or circumstance. It can also be applied, though rarely, to a man as "disgrasyado, desgrasyado, disgraciado, or desgraciado", but only with the last meaning about having a miserable or unfortunate life
18. Impakto/Impakta (from the Filipino or Tagalog spelling), Impacto/Impacta = evil entity, evil being, evil spirit, an evil Filipino mythical creature or being, a monster and usually a tiny or little monster; derogatory and offensive use of "impacto/impacta" means ugly, or to a person with malformed or distorted face, a monster, or to someone disfigured; a "tiyanak" or a baby/infant, vampiric/blood-sucking, and shape-shifting monster of Filipino mythology
19. Sutil = We do not use "sutil" that much in Chavacano, and so we do not have the word with the same meanings as in Filipino or Tagalog and in Spanish. We use instead "pillastron" or "pilyastron", "pillo/pilla" or "pilyo/pilya", "salawayun", and "durro cabeza" (hard-headed, stubborn) for the meaning in Filipino or Tagalog of "sutil", and we use "poco" , "un poco", "poquito", "un poquito" to mean "subtle" as how "sutil" in Spanish also means. I just don't know exactly if older Chavacano speakers uses "sutil" often, and on what does it really mean in Chavacano.
20. Gago = usually used in Chavacano for a baby, infant, toddler, kid, or child, or a young person, and generally used to all persons, who talks and speaks unintelligibly aka who talks or speaks in "baby talk" or in gibberish; or someone who talks or speak words that are not easy to understand or comprehend by anyone, especially by those who can speak or talk clearly; also applied in similar meanings, but as an offensive and derogatory term, to any person with a speech problem or issue in speaking or talking clearly such as persons with special needs, and those with disorders, impairments, or disabilities in their speech and language speaking, talking, and pronunciation; but this word is not exactly and not exclusively used for persons who stutter. We do not use the word "gaga" in Chavacano the same way as how "gago" is used. We also use the word or term "gago" in the meaning above for both male and female, and we do not usually use it as a noun referring to the person, but mostly as an adjective used to describe the person or someone's manner or way of unclear, gibberish, and unintelligible speech and pronunciation. Also because of the influences of the Filipino national language or the Tagalog regional language to our Chavacano language, mostly through mass media and education, we also acquired and adopted "gago/gaga" with the same meanings as in Filipino or Tagalog, and we as well acquired and adopted their meanings as a noun or for a person who is crazy, silly, or senseless. So in Chavacano, we usually use "gago" like, "The baby is still a gago because he/she still speaks gago or in a gago way/manner, and its kind of cute for the baby." or like, "My younger cousin, who is already in 7th Grade, still speaks gago, and it's quite abnormal for her/his age."
Thanks so much for your input! I would love to learn Chavacano to see how it relates to Spanish, as it is the language most closely related to it among all the Filipino languages. 😊
Ta usa kita purpiao, duru cabeza o duro pulso o sordo para na palabra sutil si kere decir stubborn or hard- headed.
nice to see you ... you look great
Hi Tito Mario! Thanks for visiting! 😘
"Querida" in the Philippines means "mistress" instead of sweetheart" or "beloved". It may have taken this meaning because some husbands probably love their mistresses more than their wives.
That makes sense, and it’s also a bit sad…
Thanks Alex your vlog is so informative and very useful. I felt sorry to learn when Spanish subject was phased out in High School and College curriculum in PI. Knowing Spanish makes you correct the right usage of words in Tagalog especially when its origin is from Spanish. Ex.; Mapa-kali , yun bata hindi mapakali. This word could orignate from verb "Callar"?
That’s an interesting thought! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for your kind words, much appreciated! 😊
You didn't mention the word ' Atribida'
Yes there are many other words that I haven’t included. I’ll add that next time. Thanks! 😊
Another great video! Learnt a lot and now I'm definitely gonna use loko loko o gago/a (we also have gaga in French! And English too, it is all coming from Spanish?!) Thanks!
Thanks for watching! You have gaga in French too?? 🙀
@@AlexinMadrid yes, it's an adjective that doesn't change gender, je suis gaga 🤪
French is Romance language as is Spanish, Portuguese French and Italian
Kumosta, is as well from spanish "¿cómo estas?" And means, how are you doing. Not an insult but very nice to hear in Philippines
Yes I like that word too. Thanks for dropping by! 😊
I'm from Zamboanga city so for me chavacano and Spanish very similar
I wish I knew how to speak Chavacano so I would’ve leaned Spanish faster 😊
I can speake chavacano fluently i understood spanish
What about the word ' coñio ' , istupido, and punyeta or punyeto ? Is it the same in spanish insult words ? 😊
As far as I can tell, “estúpido” and “puñeta” are used with pretty much the same meaning, although I haven’t personally heard the latter being used. As for the first word you mentioned, from what I remember, it’s not really used as a curse word in the Philippines, more like a term to describe posh people such as the “konyo kids”. To use that word in Spanish is quite vulgar as it refers to female genitalia. I hear it quite often though. 😝
Coño & puñeta are used a lot in Caribbean Spanish like Puerto Rico, Cuba, & Dominican Republic. It’s like saying damn.
There are 4 different dialects in Spain such as Basquez, Galazian and Castillan, they are also different meaning in one word. But Castillan is the national languages of Spain.
Filipinos called the spaniards , 'kastila' which could be mean 'castillan' spaniards.
@ Castillan or Castillano is the National laguage of Spain. There is Basquez, Galizean and Catalan,
were four dialects in Spain.
@@thornados4969 Actually the coastal Filipinos who encountered the Spanish when the union of Castile and Aragon was new (i.e. in 16th-17th c.) use "kastila" but the interior peoples reached in the 19th c. uses "espanyol."
@@AXimab kastila = spaniard , espanyol = spanish (lang)?
@@thornados4969 "kastila" means specifically "Castilian" as opposed to other types of Spaniard while "espanyol" refers to all Spaniards.
Most of the visayan and mindanaoan don't want to take away the Spanish language in their heritage.. Yun mga politiko lang ang may gustong Alisin to..
I’m curious why they want to take it away...
Muchas gracias por las nuevas palabras. Puedo llamar a mis amigos ahora y divertirme.
De nada! Me alegro de que hayas aprendido algo! 😊
when we say borrow does that mean we have to give these words back?
Castilian or Spanish language borrowed a lot of words from Latin (Roman) as well which has its roots in Rome Italy.
I always found it Interesting that they are called “loanwords”, because like you stated in your question, it is a mystery as to whether you have to “repay” the loan 😝 Thanks for your comment! 😊
@@AlexinMadrid Fun Fact: English also has a good percentage of words that has their roots in Latin (originally from Roma Italy).
You’re right! That actually helps me learn Spanish because of the similarities between English and Spanish.
Araw araw maraming salita ang na iimbinto ang mga Pilipino...kaya habang tumagal ang mga salita ng Pilipino ay wala ng salin mula sa dictionary kaya ang salita ng mga Pilipino sinasali na sa dictionary...
Yeah some of our words really same meaning in Spanish. Maybe we just borrowed from them
Yes that’s true, we really borrowed a lot of words from them 😊
333 years of Spanish colony. Filipino speak Spanish during that time.
From colonization of Spain in 333 years. The hypocrite politician form the dialect Tagalog dialect and become national language of Philippines but suppossed to be the national language is Cebuano not Tagalog because Cebuano are more volume of speakers than Tagalog, these cases had been brought to Congress and they had debating for that matter back then.
idk about you, but here in visayas Maldito is very widely used as to its female counterpart Maldita, maybe its only the tagalog people who rarely uses Maldito hahaha
Hahaha Maybe! It looks like Visayan is more gender equal! 😝
Hello po... Nice vlog..👍
I guesss the Tagalogs would always hear the Spanish saying one thing and doing another, that's why they misunderstood Spanish words. Take for example "siguro." The Tagalogs must have heard Spaniards saying "sure" but nothing happened so they assumed "siguro" meant "maybe." And they needed a stronger word for "sure" -- "sigurado," "assured.
Waray:
Hoygo/hoigo - to gamble
Castigo/kastigo
Entonces/entonses
Tukar/tucar - play the piano
Parilya/parilla - gas lamp
Salida - movie
Thanks! Waray sounds so interesting! 😊
In Tagalog leche is an insult word or a bad expression Leche ka ..... but in Spanish LECHE is milk 🥛. Although I’m not sure how to smell it in Tagalog
In Tagalog it’s spelled LETSE
Thank you for your input, I’m really curious as to how “leche” became a sort of “bad word” in Tagalog 😊
@@AlexinMadrid my lola would always say letse when she is angry so for sure it’s an insult to the other person. I’m not sure what does it really mean ..... all I know it’s not a bad expression to say ...
Yes, my lola also used to say it. I think one sense “leche!” has in Spanish is to mean “jeez!”
There‘s a Spanish woman on UA-cam who is sharing Spanish culture as well. One of her topics was Spanish swear words. And in the comment section someone asked her if what really is the meaning of the Spanish insult „Me cago en la leche!“ and so i did a little research. This is what I found:
In Spanish, this phrase is used frequently to express anger,frustration or disappointment, the same way that English speakers would say 'shit' or damn it.
¡Me cago en la leche! El fontanero no ha arreglado bien el fregadero.
Damn it! The plumber hasn't fixed the sink properly.
Ang galing mo mag-translate sissy
How about Puñeta? Is this spanish too?
Yes! I’m planning to put it in another video for interjections/swear words 😊 Let me know if you have others!
naririnig ko yung TONTO pag nagalit yung tatay namin. Like "ayaw ra ko ug tinontohi." Wag mo akong lokohin.
Thanks for your input! 😊
I worked as a spanish rep in call centers. I can't believe I never thought of making fun of my native coworkers by saying "quiero comer puto secó"
Hahaha that’s hilarious! 😝
Hiligaynon (ilo-ilo, negros occidental etc.)- Ensiguida
Spanish/latin America - Enseguida
English- Immediately
Same with Ahora Mismo.
That’s good to know! Thanks for sharing! 😊
We also used enseguida in chavacano derived from the spanish word en seguida but we don't mean that as immediately, its meaning in chavacano is all at once.
Example:
Chavacano: Ya cay el maga fruta enseguida cuando ya pasa el fuerte viento.
Tagalog: Nahulog ng sabay- sabay ang mga pruta nang dumaan ang malakas na hangin.
English: The fruits fell all at once when a strong wind passed by.
Immediately is translated as "ahora mismo" or "ara daun" which are often use, or "emidiatamente" which is rarely used.
Hi Miss Alex, there's no "guapa" in the tagalog language but we use the tagalog word for beautiful lady or pretty girl as "maganda". ✌😀
Hahaha good observation! I always wondered about that. 😝
@@AlexinMadrid all good. Wala pa rin po kayong kupas, Miss Alex. Still beautiful as ever. 😃 ingat po kayo
in bisaya there is guapa..
Maybe because there are a lot of beautiful women in the south! 😊
Maraming salamat! Ingat ka rin! 😊
My parents everytime the write they use C instead of K in bicol.
It’s fascinating how various Filipino languages absorbed Spanish words differently.
@@AlexinMadrid 333 years of Spanish presence. much longer than Mexico. If Americans EEUU did not come here, we will be Speaking Spanish right now.
That’s probably true. I wonder if we would still have all our Filipino languages or if we would all have spoken just Spanish. I guess we’ll never know 😊
@@AlexinMadrid there is an old document that I read somewhere, Manila, Zamboanga and I think Cavite, spoke Castillan and other regions speak their own different languages during the Spanish period. It is also said that 10% of the population spoke spanish as their native tongue and 60% spoke it as their second langauge. Example is the intellectual giant Don Benito Legarda Jr. who spoke the original Filipino Spanish, which was the Spanish unique only to Filipinos, not the Mexican, Argentinian, nor from Spain, which is said to use old expressions no longer used in Spain.
Wow thanks for the info! Wish I could’ve read that article too! 😊
I believe you can one Sutil when a person knows how to push someone's trigger buttons; one must be a keen observant to pull that off hence Sutil :-)
That’s a great deduction! Thanks! 😊
I agree. It's a short step from "sharp" to "annoying."
punieta? gungong? gungong tambien?
Puñeta is Spanish, yes. Gungong I haven’t been able to find. 😊
@@AlexinMadrid I think Cavite chavacano uses them "gunggong" including "que bobo dela yu ka"
Ay ang galing mo naman sis, iniwan kona , stay safe.lagi
The visayan use gwapa and gwapo not Tagalog s
maldito/maldita is used in bisaya
gwapo/gwapa is also used in bisyaa
i dont think tagalog uses the word gwapa.
You’re right, Tagalog usually uses maganda instead of gwapa 😊
@@AlexinMadrid hehe. yes po. although some of the bisaya words have been adapted na rin in tagalog in recent times. maybe we'll see gwapa or maldito being used more often soon.
Punyeta - Puñeta
We have a lot of insulting or curse words derived from spanish especially from mexican spanish like sinverguenza meaning walang hiya or ang kapal ng pagmumukha, pendeho, chingona, pendeho, tonto, torpe, amd some bleep words hehehehe. All derived from spanish.
Cabrón also. Chingón is from Mexican Spanish.
First tamsak sissy
Bolero, yes good to know! Pero paano yung “bulitas?” 🤣
😂😂😂 Actually “bolita” means “small ball” or “marble”, so there you go!
Chavacano words spelling is Spanish version
You forgot the infamous 4 letter word " PUTA" and the Spanish word for milk "LECHE".
Thanks! I’ve been planning to include those words in a separate video about cuss words. Let me know if there are other words that come to mind! 😊
How about (PUTO)the same word in Tagalog and Spanish but totally different meaning. It’s an insult in Spanish rather than Tagalog .. we love PuTo because it’s a dessert in the Philippines 🇵🇭 but an insult in Spanish .
Yes you are right, that word is quite offensive in Spanish so it might cause some trouble if you start asking where you can buy some puto here 😊
"puto" the rice cake comes from malay (putu) and ultimately from a Dravidian language of southern India. "puta" meaning whore, however, definitely comes from Spanish.
And you are gwapa too.!!! Madam,

😂😂😂 Thoplada!!!!
No! Basto we don't have that word. Just basta mean stop, enough...
As I mentioned in my other comment, I based these Spanish roots on the Real Academia Española dictionary 😊
I could go all day to list all chavacano words we use that came from spanish. Ang dami.... at saka ang tagalog madami pa yang salita galing sa español. All words that you featured here, we use that in our daily conversation except for sutil, it's mainly a tagalog word. For sutil which means stubborn in tagalog, we used purpiao, duro cabeza, duro pulso or as my father also say sordo.
Good video,, sad americans do so much damage to a unique culture and deprived so much ,, I still remember the writers of a unique spanish filipino generation in the 30's
Are their writings still available? It would be nice to read them! 😊

That’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing! 😊
May i also add these words/expressions?
Leche!

Thanks for your input! I was actually planning to include “leche” in another video about interjections/swear words. And thanks for tarantado! I’ve been trying to look for where we got that expression! 😊 Feel free to add anything I may not have mentioned in my videos. I do appreciate the help!
@@AlexinMadrid You're welcome Ms.Alex.
Its my pleasure to have contributed to your vlog channel in my own little way. By the way, I am also Filipino who has been learning and studying Spanish on my own for about two years now. I'm very passionate about different languages (especially Spanish and German,) and the culture of other countries as well. I also love to cook and to write poems in Tagalog, English and Spanish.
Wow that’s impressive! I’ve been trying to write in Spanish and it’s so difficult! Good luck with your language studies, cooking, and writing! 😊
@@AlexinMadrid thank you so much Ms. Alex.
@@AlexinMadrid Muchisimas gracias sñra,
Lo aprecio mucho. Que tenga un buen día!
