If In Tagalog Novels & Stories

I nodded slowly, trying to piece everything together. “Yeah. That’s why I don’t look like you guys,” he added with a smirk. So… you understand Tagalog?” I asked, curiosity creeping in. “Yeah. Fluently. Even Ilocano—my mom’s from Baguio.” “Aayatin kita,” he said smoothly, switching to another accent mid-sentence. I blinked. “Uh… what was that?” As a pure Tagalog speaker, I was clueless. He laughed, warm and teasing. “It means ‘I like you’ in Ilocano.”

Onin, not believing Agatha, turned to me for confirmation. "Bestie, 'goose' is a goose in Tagalog. The word for ghost in English is G-H-O-S-T," I corrected her. "Well, that's close enough. They sound the same," Agatha justified. "I knew she was wrong. Good thing we have a smart friend," Onin remarked. "Fine. Whatever. But tomorrow, okay? Wait for Carmelita and me at the White House, Onin. Around six in the evening," Agatha said.

He ignored the woman and continued walking while still carrying her and not letting his guard down in case of the enemy's sudden attack.

I learned some Tagalog phrases from my Filipino neighbours in Valencia, such as tang ina mo and ang baho ng pekpek mo which I don't have a single idea what those mean. It was a great life not until my mother died in a car accident in Barcelona while working. I was at my lowest that time. I had no idea how cruel life can be. Mentally, I was lifeless, but some Spanish friends and Filipino neighbours tried their best to help me out financially and emotionally with my mother's passing.

This is a confusing question. "Money. Here!" I said and took one hundred and twenty from my pocket. I showed it to him. "This thing you call money?" It's a raised eyebrow. "Yes, this is money. In Tagalog, we call this 'pera'. If you don't have this, you'll die of hunger." "P-era." He said money in Tagalog. "Wow! Cool! When I say 'money'." He spoke in English and was very happy when he said the money correctly.
