The word 'virgin' in Tagalog can be translated as 'birhen' or 'dalaga' (for females) or 'binata' (for males), depending on context. Let me give you some examples!
If you're talking about the Virgin Mary, you'd say 'Birheng Maria,' which is deeply rooted in Filipino Catholic culture. You might hear this in phrases like 'Ang Birheng Maria ay ina ng Diyos' (The Virgin Mary is the mother of God).
But if you're describing someone's purity or unmarried status, like 'She is a virgin,' you could say 'Siya ay dalaga' or 'Siya ay birhen pa.' Just be mindful of tone—some might interpret it as old-fashioned or overly personal. I remember my lola (grandmother) using 'dalaga' more often when teasing about marriage!
