Tagalog Time

KC suddenly wants to learn Tagalog.

She's using YouTube, songs, and bothering me. 😜

Heres some of our convos.

What's up with your repetitive words? Like? Ala-ala. Haka-haka. What am I to say?

and what's your fascination with Aaaaaa? What do you mean? Aanhin, aakayin, inaasam? How do you say that? I can't explain except to say with province every syllable as is. She doesn't get it so I had to think fast. So I said, you know sweetheart, when you say Aaron ( EhRuhn), we say AhAhRon. Wow!

Here's the kicker.
What about that siya siya? You tell me it's you or can be a collective you. Right? I said yes. But why do you say siya siya when you leave and when Tita Girlie says goodbye? All along I though siya siya means goodbye.

Oh Lord.
