| additional... - walang anuman beatboxer. mabuti naman at nakatulong ang mga nai-post ko dito.
----------- I found this really helpful post somewhere in the i-net.. *hannah prays nobody will sue her for copying this.. he he* ----------- here's the url of the website http://www.mts.net/~pmorrow/filpro.htm ps. i hope Jeff won't mind me posting the website here.. ------------ The Filipino vowel letters are never combined to create a different vowel sound (except in foreign words). Each vowel indicates a separate syllable. So, the number of vowels in a word matches the number of syllables. However, there are a few exceptions The Letter NG This is a single letter in the Filipino alphabet and its sound is not at all foreign to the English speaker. It can be found in words such as “sing” and “hang” etc. The difficulty for non-Filipinos is that the ng sound is often at the beginning of a word or a syllable. Here is a trick to learn this sound. It works as long as you don’t pronounce the word “sing” with a hard g. Repeat the words “sing along” several times together in a continuous flow: Sing-along, sing-along, sing-along, etc… Now remove the last syllable “long” and repeat several times: Singa, singa, singa, etc… Now remove the first two letters “si” and repeat several times while making sure that the sound of the letter Y does not creep into your pronunciation. Nga, nga, nga, etc… Now you’ve got it! Try to say the following words: ngayón, ngipin, ngunit. ---------- Stresses / accents ----------- -- An óbject is a thing that you can touch or a concept that you can discuss. If you disagree with something then you may objéct to it. -- A súbject is a topic or a citizen of a monarchy. A tyrant may subjéct his citizens to cruel oppression. -- A cómpound is something made up of several parts or an enclosed space. If you compound a problem you make it worse. -- An áddress usually identifies a location such as where you live but if you give a speech you must addréss the audience. Now here are the example of Filipino words with their stresses. º bíhis (style of dressing) bihís (all dressed up) º bútas (hole) butás (punctured) º gáling (come from) galíng (skill, luck) º hápon (afternoon) Hapón (Japanese) º samantála (meanwhile) samantalá (take advantage) ---------- Irregularities The current name of the national language of the Philippines is Filipino. It was formerly known as Pilipino and before that it was called the National Language. All of these incarnations were based mainly on the Tagalog language. There was a general rule in the old Pilipino language which stated that a word was written the way it was pronounced and it was pronounced the way it was written. Even so, there were some exceptions. The Word Ng The first obstacle for a student of Filipino is often the word "ng". It is roughly the equivalent of the English word "of". It is pronounced nang but it is always abbreviated because it is used so often in Filipino speech and writing. There is another word which is spelled "nang" and pronounced the same way. It has several meanings such as a conditional "when" and "in order to" etc. Ng is also a letter in the Filipino alphabet but when it is recited as part of the alphabet, it is pronounced nga. The Word Mga "Mga" is another very common Filipino abbreviation which is pronounced mangá. It makes nouns plural just like the letter s does in English and it takes on the meaning of "approximate" when dealing with numbers. Words with DIY In the Pilipino language the letters d, i and y were used in combination to approximate the sound of the English letter j before it was added to the new Filipino alphabet. So words like "janitor", "generator", "jeep", and "junior" were spelled diyanitor, diyenereytor, diyip and diyunyor. This j sound became so familiar that some people began to pronounce it even in Tagalog and Spanish words that happened to contain the letters diy or dia. Words such as "diyan", "diyabetes", "diyamante", "diyaryo", "diyes", "diyeta", and "diyos" are sometimes pronounced jan, jabetes, jamante, jaryo, jes, jeta, and jos. Words with SIY The letters siy are used to approximate the sh sound in foreign words and just as in the case of the letters diy, this sound is often used indiscriminately, even in words that originally didn't have the sh sound. Words such as "siya", "kasiya", "pasiya", "siyete", "siyam" and "siyopaw" are often pronounced sha, kasha, pashya, shete, sham, shopaw. Kauntî & Saulì These words are both formed by the connection of a prefix to a root word: ka+untî and sa+ulì. Kauntî means "a small amount" and saulì means "returning something". In common slang the a and u are often mixed together so that these words are actually pronounced konti and soli respectively. They are even spelled that way in comic books. --------- thanks for reading this far.. hehe ----------- | |
