I am not comfortable with straight dudes and dudettes using "pakak" like a gangsta term. That's a gay slang first and foremost. They can't even pronounce it right—the stress is on the second syllable, not the first! >:(

For those who speak Tagalog, i'm going to try spelling this but just know its phanetic and may be wrong because I can't figure out how to do accent marks and stuff like that. Maligyang Pasco. #Filipino #Christmas, #Tagalog

TIL: The #Filipino word "lugar" is from Spanish.

The #Tagalog words for "place" are the archaic "pook" and the even more archaic "lunán", from which we get the grammatical term "pang-abay na panlunan" ("adverb of place").

I started typing "sha" instead of "siya" ironically and now I can't stop 😭 #Tagalog

I translated Miranda Priestly's iconic blue sweater monologue into #Tagalog for fun. Here are some interesting #Filipino words I learned:

Abrigo (n.) - sweater, jacket
Kubransa (n.) - collection
Almasen (n.) - department store

One of them posted na ang pagkakalikha raw sa #Filipino bilang wikang pambansa ay ginawa lang bilang anyo ng post-colonial era colonialism. Naging "dialect" daw ang Bisaya, Ilonggo, Ilocano, etc.

Una, diba paano naging kolonyalismo eh wika naman sa Pinas talaga ang #Tagalog? Pangalawa, walang nakasaad sa kahit anong batas na diyalekto na lahat ng mga wika sa bansa na hindi Filipino.

@youronlyone I went ahead and created a new image with the correct final #baybayin character, uploaded it to #WikimediaCommons, and updated almost #Wikipedia references to the original wrong image.
