Tagalog phrases can be useful to memorize because you can use them in many situations requiring answers or opinion about something. Sometimes phrases do not follow grammar rules and are normally present in spoken Tagalog rather than written Tagalog. Therefore, knowing phrases can make you sound fluent, accurate, and easily understood by your listener.
Examples:
\”Ano ka ba\” – you say this word when you are annoyed with someone or you don\’t agree to someone\’s repeated behaviour.
\”Ewan ko\” – this is a phrase you say when you want to say \”i dont know what it is\” or when you simply want to stop answering the questions which is similar when you say \” i have no idea\”
Examples:
- Teka lang – -Just a second
- Sandali lang – -wait a minute
- Ikaw na nga – – Right, take it over or -okay, you are the one who is right.
