    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.

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.

    -------
    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.

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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

      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.

    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

    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)

    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. 😮😮😮
