“Philippines: thank you, sting ray” 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭 It took me few seconds to realise it hahahahaha @ROYALesana you have the best comment in this video 👍👍👍 Im Australian 🇦🇺 but knows several Filipino languages Good on ‘ya mate!!!
In Bicolano we don't say "salamat", we say "Dios mabalos" or "mabalos" for short. The literal meaning is "God will repay you". Although "salamat" is getting common for the new generation, but "Dios mabalos" is still very popular until now, it's even the term for formality.
Natural na sakin na magsabi ng salamat imbis na thank you sa mga strangers like tindero't tindera, drivers, guards etc. parang mas gusto talaga ng bibig ko yung salamat, it's nice to know the real meaning of it. It's nice to wish people peace/safety kasi they help you get through the day din.
I love how my long time curiousity was answered where "salamat" came from because I remember when I was young, when I read a tourist brochure of Malaysia about their word "Salamat" was kinda similar here in the Philippines. Thank you for this educational video kuya 😍
honestly I've learned the Islamic greeting As-salamu alaykum since I was in gradeschool when I stayed in Riyadh for a time, and I've never thought to connect "Salam" to "salamat" until now XD this pretty cool bit of history!
As a Malay i wished I could see a more brotherly cohesion between all the south east asian nations. We share a lot of history in common which our colonisers used to try to divide.
Nice. As a filipino muslim. I somehow connected the word salamat to salam in arabic. Where it has change over the time on how to say it and what it really means. We have the word "apir", when it actually means "up here" for a high five.
@pastense as a local, yes. Please don't HAHAHAHA But I'm from Puerto Princesa City tho. I've also been there and I bring my own water then during tours
@ Puerto Princesa is beautiful too! The entire island is. That red soil you have is so iconic. I recommend Palawan much more than Boracay. You’re so lucky to live there!
My co-workers once asked me what is good morning in Tagalog. I said we don't say "Good Morning (mabuting Umaga)" in the Philippines, instead we say "Beautiful Morning (magandang Umaga)". Instantly they concluded that our language is beautiful.
Madakul hu salamat, Kirby. Taga Higaonon ang akong asawa, ug baylan sya. Nasabot ko nga etymology sa "salamat" sa Semitic mga pinulongan na. Kanunay sa Higaonon Binukid gi ingon kami "Madakul hu salamat hu Magbabaya".
@@AstraeaJustice Wala naman sa initial statement niya na nag originate ang salamat sa Pilipinas eh. Replying with the intent to oppose someone and the sh*t you're disagreeing about is not even present in what they've said is bs. What do you mean of hiram na salita? A certain group of community use words or slangs depending on how often they use it. If new generation slightly change its sound it'll be passed on to the next and they will continue using it based on how frequent it's applicable in their daily lives. Example yung english word na "knight", silent K and G di ba. Sa old english spelled "cniht" pero sound "k'nigt" (sa tagalog sound "kinig-t" para sayo). Nung tumagal na keep yung K at G pero silent na pag binabangit. Nababago dahil sa bagong gen ng community.
@@balbasontheroad that attitude makes them feel superior than others i think, they're the type of people who talks and act like they know better than anyone, when in reality they dont lol. that's their way to cover up their stupidity and toxicity, so hayaan mo nalang po sila for sure di rin nila maiintindihan kung anong gusto mong sabihin hahaha
I see people having conflicting views about the video. But I wish yo say SALAMAT as a sign that there is peace and gratitude even in the midst of everything around us. :)
People want what they don't have. Hence, if there is no peace, only tampo, peace will be valued. A people who don't say "thank you" are not thankful. They are entitled. This explains why my gf quickly forgets everything I have done for her. That is in the past. She is focused on what she wants from me right now. She lives in the present.
Thank you for educating the Filipinos and keeping our history and roots alive and relevant.. It is vital that we don't forget who we are as a people.. More power to you and your channel.. SLMT!
Dang! I just watched a video talking about King Solomon and the Land of Ophir. Now, connecting these two thoughts with one word, Peace. Yep, they have peace with each other. It just makes it think that maybe Ophir might be Philippines too. And if not, it can be our brothers from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc. ------- Topic aside. Even though I type english most of the time, there has probably, never on my daily life that I have used Thank you or Thanks, unless I specified it. I instinctively say "Salamat po (sa inyo)" to anyone I wanna say my gratitude. Also, maybe that's why I am fine with other religions and am fascinated by them. Because Ph itself was and is a country that is open to different schools of thoughts about spirituality. --------- Thanks for this. Although I have the hint since I was a child, as I lived in a place where I can speak Tausug and learn it from the speakers, I didn't know much about it before watching this vid. Bien gracias at Maraming Salamat po sa iyo kuya.
Salamat is indonesian word good morning :selamat pagi !the origin of tagalog was indonesian because mixed married with Bajau,Sulu,Bisaya,and ilocano and the likes they became different language than the origin speakings
In my home province Surigao, the old people 😊 don't say salamat. They would say "Gracias". Of course in my generation, "salamat" na talaga ang aming sinasabi to express our gratitude. Thanks Kirby❤.
aaah sana nga fitting, rhyanjill-san, pero ang Thanksgiving na sine-celebrate sa Amerika (tawag nga riyan ay "Turtle Island" [Khéya Wíta sa wika ng Lakota + andaming pang ibig sabihin sa iba't ibang wika ng mga katutubo sa America/Turtle Island)... Ang Thanksgiving ay mito, panlabas ng kwento, para ma-whitewash, makubli and mapahina ang katotohanang nililipol ng imperyal, kolonyal, kapitalistang Estados Unidos ang mga katutubo, ang mga lumad... T_T Pero patuloy na buhay ang mga katutubo sa Turtle Island, sa Amerika, at patuloy silang lumalaban para sa katotohan, para sa lupang ninanakaw sa kanila, para sa kalikasan... Land Back! Kaya nakabatay sa kasinungalingan ang Thanksgiving, tulad ng kasinungalingang ipinapakalat na di edukado, walang alam, tamad, at "barbaro" ang mga katutubo rito sa mga isla, sa kapuluan, na tinatawag na natin sa kolonyal na pangalan na Pilipinas or the Philippines... Sorry sa mahabang post! At sana, may sense! Salamat, as in hindi lang iisang Diyos or relihiyon ang bukal ng ispritwalidad, kundi ang mabuti sa mga paniniwalang ito -- pakikipagtao, pakikipag-usap, pagdadamayan at paglaban para sa at kasama ang mga inaapi at naagrabyado ng maykapangyarihan... iyan sana ang maisabuhay nating pagpapasalamat sa isa't isa!
I remember figuring this out back in college, when I learned Indonesians greet each other with Selamat. It dawned on me that as “Salamat” it incorporated “Allah”in the etymology and is an expression of gratitude and it was more of a blessing, which if you think about, is how the reaction many languages have when you’re truly grateful for something. It really speaks to the Muslim influence in groups in the lower Luzon areas and south. When I had realized that, I compared it with my culture. In Ilocano we say “Dios to agngina” which likewise means “God Bless you” in addition to “Agyaman nak” as a form of gratitude. I think it’s interesting how it speaks to the strong Spanish influence in the north. Since then, I’ve loved sharing this fun linguistic/cultural fact of the Philippines.
this content is gold! thanks for educating us.. it's nice to know these facts since I'm more fond of saying "salamat" than thank you.. now this is more why I'd continue doing so
Loving how your video very logically and objectively points out so many things about our culture, colonization, disinformation and its effects. Much to learn and factor into how we deal with those challenge which are even for difficult now, due to the spread of social media.
In bicol, a new term being told derived from salamat as we call it "salamatun" meaning "thank you very much". Adding -on or -un in bikol language after an adjective increases the degree of describing the original meaning. Eg mahamison - mahamis (sweet) -on =very sweet. Although salamatun is technically grammatically incorrect, we frequently use it nowadays.
@@GassyDaddy77 Iyo po. Diyos Mabalos is the formal gesture of saying thank you in bicol. Salamatun is like a new type of slang in bicol saying thank you very much.
selamat in indonesia/malay is not welcome. welcome in indonesia is "selamat datang". but the exact translation is "hope for peace/safety when you come to our place". or "selamat pagi" would mean "hope for peace/safety through out morning". selamat is a pray for your peace and safety
Salamat is actually multi layered in meaning which is why there is a difference in usage across our languages. Translating to english sometimes gives it no justice.
Yes when selamat is used in greetings it becomes "good". In Bahasa. Stayed in Indonesia and Malaysia for sometime. Learned a lot on languages which makes up my Pilipino language as well...
Salamat for this insightful video. It’s amazing that it was your speech theme at UCD; good for you! I’ve seen many of your videos but only decided to be a subscriber because of this vid! Happy holidays to you and to all! Maraming Salamat!
How about the HALIK(kiss) word? I think it also came from the middle east...I saw many times arabic people saying kef halek followed by a cheek to cheek gesture....
I got that idea Salamat coming from Salam after I meet some Arab people. Thinking we were once majority Muslim during pre colonial period. Salamat 🙏🏻 RE: mabalos term is also in Cebuanos like maka balos or mabalos.
Sir Kirby, SLMT! Tagal ko ng wina wonder about the word 'salamat' since nung pumasyal ako ng Malaysia and nang may maka encounter akong indo fans online. Nagulat ako namention mo sb19, kakatuwa as an A'Tin dn. Anyway, pls keep doing vids like this.
“Salamat” in Sanskrit translates to “Safe,” Sound,” or “Secure.” “Salamat” came from the Arabic word Salama(plural: Salamat) which means “good health “ Ref: Goggles
They said Shalom/Salam when took all the gold Oro from these islands previously called Ophir where Solomon sent ships that took months to comeback. The west European Spanish Portuguese Italian just read the books and followed the money. This has nothing to do with religion, just money hungry men who use power and politicize religion to get gold. Then they say Salam/Shalom closest to our American spirit of gratitude is Share as we say thanks for Sharing :) They probably didnt know the value of gold back then, its just rocks for the islanders until everyone know now :)
I don't think I've heard the Kapampangan version of Salamat, since I moved to Pampanga in June. I do hear the simple Salamat, or Thank you, here. Nice that you included a clip of Mt. Aryat in the video, to talk about the Kapampangan version 😉
Dear Sir, this channel just popped up on my UA-cam page, and it was a great thing it did. I commend your efforts and amazing range of knowledge in Philippine cultures. That easily makes me a new subscriber. You got one Capampangan supporter in me, dear Sir, and please kindly continue this wonderful thing that you are doing. Luid co pu at luid ia iting quecong mal a ambag queng calinangan tamung Pilipinu.
For us Sama, we say "Sèlamu Alayikum" or simply "Sèlam," which is equivalent to greetings like "hello" or "may peace be with you." When leaving, we say "Palanjal na kamē," which means "we will be heading our way," and the response should be "Sèlamat kam/kaū!" means "may peace be with y'all/you."
Salam/Selamat Hari Raya - Peaceful Festive Day Terima Kasih(Thank You) - Received/Acknowledged Love/Care Sama-sama(You're Welcome) - Me Too or Same Here
Goes to show that Filipino words are rich in character if you care enough to break it down and search the origin or etymologies in other languages. One example is the word 'katawan' or body. If you break it down to ka-tauhan, it makes a lot of sense. It means something that makes up a person which is a body!
The tagalog word for justice, katarungan, also has a visayan root word. Tarong in visayan means proper or right conduct. We might infer that those wronged by others during precolonial times did not seek justice the same way we now view it in modern times, but more like redress for having been treated shoddily. Though unstated, the core of justice seems to be entitlement to the preservation of human dignity. Which seems to explain why pinoys today remain hypersensitive to hiya, kahihiyan, mapahiya, avoidance of which preserves dignity that in other cultures elsewhere is deemed a mere aspect of pointless ego preservation, or vanity in short.
Yehhh I notice that too, doesn't mean we weren't colonized we were all peaceful, I mean only around early immigration relating to early Austronesian that was some what kinda peaceful (from what I read, tho correct me if I'm wrong since I forgot where I read it, there weren't any violent deaths before the chinese and indian influence, that's what I mean)
Maybe. The history of humanity is a history of survival - of the fittest. You think great empires were born out of peace, kindness & common aspirations. Hardly, it is the hardy ambitious visionary that comes out on top to garner the subservience of others.
Maganda iyong ganitong mga content about history, busog ka sa visuals at maganda rin yung narration at flow ng pag discuss. Suggestions lang siguro na ilagay kung saan galing ang mga source ng mga pag-aaral na tinatalakay mo para alam din ng mga scholars, at mas credible ang pundasyon.
I like your research. Thanks! Nakasubscribe ko ug ahat. 😅 Starting today, I'll say "Thank you!" When it applies. I'll reserve "Salamat" for someone who desrves it. 😊
8:32 I can see the different practices existing since precol id a mix of animism/local dieties, Buddhism, Hinduism and islam (depending on where you actually are) but how you say it sounds like PH was paradise and like no battles happen regarding religion, which there was, I think i remember in history class (my teacher was a good one and was genuinely into history too) I remember him saying that PH had trading ofc, alliance and ofc each leaders got their enemies and I think I remember cebu and moro peeps/precol muslim from the south werent really buddy2x and im sure there are more places in PH before that had the same scenario or similar but again spanish colonization erased a lot of stuff
Former Pinoy Aggie here (87). Strangely, I always thought the word traced its origin to pre-Latin, for salted meat. Next time I'm at the deli, "Salámat salami!"
Sir Kirby Araullo, ang galing ng speech prowess mo at intonation, pwede ka sa theater! or maging isang Voice Talent katulad nina "showsuzuki" "justin luzares" & "inka magnaye" i am sure mga kilala mo sila. more power to you and God bless!
I also doubt 'Mahal kita' is I love you, maybe it came from the word mahal as valuable, precious, expensive, 'mahalaga' as important. Mahalaga ka sa akin Mahal ka sa akin Mahal ko ikaw Mahal kita Even the word pag-ibig isn't exactly means love, it's from the word ibig with many meanings like purpose, desire as noun. Filipino put prefix 'pag' to form a word for love. Maybe our ancestors doesn't know what is love😅 They're bunch of nonchalant. No phrase for 'I miss you'. Not even 'nangungulila ako sa'yo' cause it sounds more I'm longing to you. 'I'm sorry' patawad is forgive, pasensya(spanish loanword), paumanhin maybe.. Hello/how are you, kamusta (Spanish loan word)
Hi Kirby! I truly enjoy your content about pre-colonial philippines. I'd like to know more about ancient tagalog to broaden my knowledge on our language. Also, I do hope that you make a video of the oral epic, Hinilawod.
In Bicol region they don't say Salamat,they will say Dios Mabalos.We always put God first,like Dios marjay na aga,Dios marjay na banggi,Dios marjay na hapon.
SALMAT... ang salitang binibitiwan ng isang taong Marunong magpakumbaba, may respeto, may pagtitwala sa kapwa at tumatanaw ng utang na loob! Binibigkas nang may takot sa diyos, may hikbi at nanggagaling sa kaibuturan ng puso❤️ SALAMAT🇵🇭🫡
Man is in a perpetual state of war since Cain killed his brother Abel. Peace normally reigns when tbe superior defeats the inferior. The superior calls that peace until another superior arises and is victorious. The cycle continues until this day. Salamat is the peace between wars and conflict. 😮😮😮

Salamat in Philippines
Agree.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing 😅
What about bundok? Boondocks. Or istambay - Standby.
Digging into the roots also demystifies and demythologizes. Great job!
So this is why we reply with Salamat to Salamat. It makes so much more sense than saying thank you to each other

Meanings change over time. The speaker's meaning is always more accurate than a historical meaning. Today, "Salamat"usually just means, "Thank you."

@@LeslieCabuling One i recently discovered is malunggay or marunggay (in ilocano). It is murungai in tamil whc cross-fertilized with sanskrit a lot.
Thank you for sharing the history! I always wondering why the meaning of the word was different from neighboring countries.
They said Shalom/Salam when took all the gold Oro from these islands previously called Ophir where Solomon sent ships that took months to comeback. The west European Spanish Portuguese Italian just read the books and followed the money. This has nothing to do with religion, just money hungry men who use power and politicize religion to get gold. Then they say Salam/Shalom closest to our American spirit of gratitude is Share as we say thanks for Sharing :) They probably didnt know the value of gold back then, its just rocks for the islanders until everyone know now :)
I don't think I've heard the Kapampangan version of Salamat, since I moved to Pampanga in June. I do hear the simple Salamat, or Thank you, here.
Nice that you included a clip of Mt. Aryat in the video, to talk about the Kapampangan version 😉
In bahasa Indonesia selamat can also means safety
Matagal ng panahon Ngayon ko lang nalaman this Salamat!
Dear Sir, this channel just popped up on my UA-cam page, and it was a great thing it did. I commend your efforts and amazing range of knowledge in Philippine cultures. That easily makes me a new subscriber. You got one Capampangan supporter in me, dear Sir, and please kindly continue this wonderful thing that you are doing. Luid co pu at luid ia iting quecong mal a ambag queng calinangan tamung Pilipinu.
For us Sama, we say "Sèlamu Alayikum" or simply "Sèlam," which is equivalent to greetings like "hello" or "may peace be with you." When leaving, we say "Palanjal na kamē," which means "we will be heading our way," and the response should be "Sèlamat kam/kaū!" means "may peace be with y'all/you."
Salamat 😊
This is nice teaching every meaning of words do more of this
Sir Kirby thank you for sharing❤❤❤
Salam/Selamat Hari Raya - Peaceful Festive Day
Terima Kasih(Thank You) - Received/Acknowledged Love/Care
Sama-sama(You're Welcome) - Me Too or Same Here
Dito sa Oman pag sinabeng salamat it means get well soon hahaha
Goes to show that Filipino words are rich in character if you care enough to break it down and search the origin or etymologies in other languages. One example is the word 'katawan' or body. If you break it down to ka-tauhan, it makes a lot of sense. It means something that makes up a person which is a body!
In visayan / cebuano, katawhan is short for ka tao-han, meaning the community or the people, the body politic.
@@Turnaround_time which is also very close to the word 'kinatawan' or a representative.
The tagalog word for justice, katarungan, also has a visayan root word. Tarong in visayan means proper or right conduct. We might infer that those wronged by others during precolonial times did not seek justice the same way we now view it in modern times, but more like redress for having been treated shoddily. Though unstated, the core of justice seems to be entitlement to the preservation of human dignity. Which seems to explain why pinoys today remain hypersensitive to hiya, kahihiyan, mapahiya, avoidance of which preserves dignity that in other cultures elsewhere is deemed a mere aspect of pointless ego preservation, or vanity in short.
thanks kirby
Kung sa Pilipinong wika "salamat," kung sa English na wika, "thank you,"mOareho lang yun.
Shalom, salam, selamat = peace, peace, welcome/greetings
Selamat Datang, the word datang is also used in Capampangan. Datang means to arrive :)
You romanticize too much that our archipelago was a place of peace before colonialism.
Yeah I noticed that too
Yehhh I notice that too, doesn't mean we weren't colonized we were all peaceful, I mean only around early immigration relating to early Austronesian that was some what kinda peaceful (from what I read, tho correct me if I'm wrong since I forgot where I read it, there weren't any violent deaths before the chinese and indian influence, that's what I mean)
“Shared Austronesian values of harmony, care, and well-being”
OMG 🙄
Well, if you prefer to idolize the brutality of those times, let’s see some videos! I’d love to see how arnis de mano killed Magellan!
Maybe. The history of humanity is a history of survival - of the fittest. You think great empires were born out of peace, kindness & common aspirations. Hardly, it is the hardy ambitious visionary that comes out on top to garner the subservience of others.
I clicked "like" way too early and was wanting to express something more by the end.
Salamat Po.
SALAMAT for this!
Shalom , shilomo, yerushalayem... Shalom.. peace
Daghang salamat... Peaceful na! 😊
Salamat is salamat in the way we understand it. SALAMAT!
Salamat for this educational video!
Maganda iyong ganitong mga content about history, busog ka sa visuals at maganda rin yung narration at flow ng pag discuss. Suggestions lang siguro na ilagay kung saan galing ang mga source ng mga pag-aaral na tinatalakay mo para alam din ng mga scholars, at mas credible ang pundasyon.
I like your research. Thanks! Nakasubscribe ko ug ahat. 😅
Starting today, I'll say "Thank you!" When it applies. I'll reserve "Salamat" for someone who desrves it. 😊
8:32 I can see the different practices existing since precol id a mix of animism/local dieties, Buddhism, Hinduism and islam (depending on where you actually are) but how you say it sounds like PH was paradise and like no battles happen regarding religion, which there was, I think i remember in history class (my teacher was a good one and was genuinely into history too)
I remember him saying that PH had trading ofc, alliance and ofc each leaders got their enemies and I think I remember cebu and moro peeps/precol muslim from the south werent really buddy2x and im sure there are more places in PH before that had the same scenario or similar but again spanish colonization erased a lot of stuff
Former Pinoy Aggie here (87). Strangely, I always thought the word traced its origin to pre-Latin, for salted meat. Next time I'm at the deli, "Salámat salami!"
The Arabic word "salem" has many meanings. It means sound, complete, secure, safe and many more.
Sir Kirby Araullo, ang galing ng speech prowess mo at intonation, pwede ka sa theater! or maging isang Voice Talent katulad nina "showsuzuki" "justin luzares" & "inka magnaye" i am sure mga kilala mo sila. more power to you and God bless!
I also doubt 'Mahal kita' is I love you, maybe it came from the word mahal as valuable, precious, expensive, 'mahalaga' as important.
Mahalaga ka sa akin
Mahal ka sa akin
Mahal ko ikaw
Mahal kita
Even the word pag-ibig isn't exactly means love, it's from the word ibig with many meanings like purpose, desire as noun. Filipino put prefix 'pag' to form a word for love. Maybe our ancestors doesn't know what is love😅 They're bunch of nonchalant. No phrase for 'I miss you'. Not even 'nangungulila ako sa'yo' cause it sounds more I'm longing to you. 'I'm sorry' patawad is forgive, pasensya(spanish loanword), paumanhin maybe..
Hello/how are you, kamusta (Spanish loan word)
salamat came from the Malay word 'Selamat' meaning good
Thanks Kirby😊❤😊
Hi Kirby! I truly enjoy your content about pre-colonial philippines. I'd like to know more about ancient tagalog to broaden my knowledge on our language. Also, I do hope that you make a video of the oral epic, Hinilawod.
What is your stand about the debate of Jose Rizal's Retraction? Do you think he retracted or not?
Kahit Ako nga dati napapa-isip,baket nga ba Salamat-malayo sa Salitang gracias o kahit na sa Thank You.
I think it's better to leave the word "salamat" as is because it gives confusion to every filipino.
Salamat po from Brunei 🇧🇳
Kirby! Mumurahin na sana kita buti na Lang Pinanood ko.. 😂😂😂😂 think you’re right there!! Napasubscribe tuloy ako..
Maraming salamat! 🙏🏽
Anyone remember the story of the Book of Salamat?
Also Jerusalem and Salem also from Salam or Shalom
Diyos Mabalos for this video (and for mentioning Bicol) ❤
Is this a re upload?
Thanks
In Bicol region they don't say Salamat,they will say Dios Mabalos.We always put God first,like Dios marjay na aga,Dios marjay na banggi,Dios marjay na hapon.
SALMAT...
ang salitang binibitiwan ng isang taong Marunong magpakumbaba, may respeto, may pagtitwala sa kapwa at tumatanaw ng utang na loob!
Binibigkas nang may takot sa diyos, may hikbi at nanggagaling sa kaibuturan ng puso❤️
SALAMAT🇵🇭🫡
Maraming salamat, Kirby.
Man is in a perpetual state of war since Cain killed his brother Abel.
Peace normally reigns when tbe superior defeats the inferior.
The superior calls that peace until another superior arises and is victorious. The cycle continues until this day.
Salamat is the peace between wars and conflict. 😮😮😮
