July 8, 2010, Miles writes: I'll sympathize with that suggestion my friend but you know fellow Filipinos might bribe the crocs which makes things worse probably,almost everything and everybody here accepts it so what else can i say.

Subli-Subli translated literally in Tagalog is Balik-Balik. They probably mean a resort you'd like to visit again and again. Anyway, business hours break the record of any in the world, LOL! plus its "Morantic!"
November 16, 2011, Jan writes: I do not know what 'morantic' means, but probably they mean 'romantic', just interchanged the R and M (seen the context)

December 11, 2009, Sikat ang Pinoy Talambuhay writes: Hello, I'm searching google and found your blog nice post. Mabuhay Sikat ang Pinoy!
December 12, 2009, Jan writes: Hi, Thanks for your visiting my website. Tagalog is such a difficult language to learn properly, I don't know if I will ever learn it! But I'll try.
December 15, 2009, Dolor Nevales writes: Hi Jan, It would be fun if you try learning some Filipino tounge twisters, too. You've been living in the Philippines for quite a long time now. Hope you'll find time to learn five to ten Tagalog words everyday. If you can stick on that goal, that means a vocabulary expansion of around 150 to 300 Filipino words on a monthly basis. Peace of cake, right? Well, your Pinoy friends here in the Netherlands are hoping to be able to communicate with you (in our native tounge of course) the moment Flor and you get that itch to visit Holland. By the way, I would like to make a small correction in your article. Good afternoon is "magandang hapon" instead of "magangdang hapon". Watch out with the pronounciation, too. Setting the wrong accentuation on the word "hapon" could change your simple good afternoon greeting into "a beautiful Japanese." Regards, Dolor Nevales
December 15, 2009, Jan writes: Hi Dolor, Nice of you to stop by again on my site, and thanks for the comment. Learning more than one word a day is difficult. If I do that, the words from yesterday will be forgotten.... ;-) (maybe an age issue ??) But who knows I start learning faster after this and will be able to speak a little tagalog by the time we will visit Holland. Regards to the Mah-Jongg group !! I have corrected the word with a type error. maraming salamat po!
December 15, 2009, mic writes: you can also try learning this one... "nakakapagpabagabag" in english it means "bothering"
December 15, 2009, Jan writes: nakakapagpabagabag ! That's also a nice one, I have tried to say this word, but I failed several times, so I gave up. Another one I heard on TV: kumukutikutitap = twinkling (from stars) These words are really breaking my tongue. ;-)
December 21, 2009, n0th1n6 writes: You can also try these: kapakipakinabang kapanapanabik
December 21, 2009, Jan writes: Thank you n0th1n6, I will add them to my list. For those who like to know the meaning of these words: kapakipakinabang = very useful kapanapanabik = something you long for or wanted so much
March 7, 2011, Filipino Tongue writes: I totally agree with you that Tagalog words, and even other words from other Philippine dialects, are really hard to pronounce such "kumukutitap, kinakailangan, etc.. Filipino dialects are really fun to learn with, especially to foreigners, and funny too.:-)
March 10, 2011, Jan writes: Hi, Thanks for visiting my site. I have visited your site and you wrote a nice article about language there. Good work.

November 7, 2011, Ed writes: Heh, reminds me of the time a former gf described our intimate moments, sabi sya "masarap kasama"; it took me 4 more years to understand ALL that she meant by that long after I'd moved on. Talaga, "sarap" (and so many Tagalog root-words) can and are commonly applied in so many different contexts, indeed Tagalog is one of the most contextual languages I've encountered, even in just common vernacular. Here's another one to ponder: "kita". Magingat yan! Buyer beware, if you don't understand already, you'll eventually learn far beyond any dictionary. :)

May 31, 2011, Wilfried writes: Yes, living in the Phils is als mine thing to do in the future. But there is also a lot of nature probs in the Phils. Eartquake, vulcano and the Phils is also know as typhoon ally. Esp. the typhoons it looks that thy go stronger and for a longer period every year. I also was looking for a house in the tagaytay area, the temperature is very nice over there. But its very close by the Taal vulcano and that one is still active and even standing on number 6, on the list of the most dangerous vulcanos in the world, so better not to buy there
June 1, 2011, Jan writes: Flor and I like to go to Tagaytay from time to time. It is always a little cooler there and no traffic like in the Metro Manila area. Although Taal is an active volcano, If you live in Tagaytay there is not much danger. But if you live in Talisay or in other tows and villages close to Taal lake, sometimes people are asked to evacuate. At the moment the alert level is 1, which means there is some activity in the Volcano, but not very bad yet.

September 17, 2011, Jan writes: Hi Jimmy, Depending on your lifestyle it is possible. The only thing is that renting in Tagaytay might be expensive. Tagaytay is a place where many people from Manila have their weekend houses, and many tourist visit this place. That's making Tagaytay a little expensive.
