Bakit Hindi - Why Not Philippines
|
< Older | Newer >
I am in the Philippines, and often they have this unusual way of answering...
They say,
"Why not?"
In reality they mean,
"Of course."
or,
Like why not, or course I will.
Interesting twist on the English language, I had a friend teach me how to say this in the native language of Tagalog. Pronounced:
Tah Gah Low
Or at least that is the way I hear it, nonetheless when I order something and a person says,
"Why not?"
I will in turn answer,
"Bakit Hinde"
Pronounced,
Bah Keet Hin Day
Why not the Philippines?

a friend of mine from work, who is from Azerbhijan, often says "and how?" for "how was it?" or "was it good?"
