Tagalog Novels & Stories

I nodded slowly, trying to piece everything together. “Yeah. That’s why I don’t look like you guys,” he added with a smirk. So… you understand Tagalog?” I asked, curiosity creeping in. “Yeah. Fluently. Even Ilocano—my mom’s from Baguio.” “Aayatin kita,” he said smoothly, switching to another accent mid-sentence. I blinked. “Uh… what was that?” As a pure Tagalog speaker, I was clueless. He laughed, warm and teasing. “It means ‘I like you’ in Ilocano.”

This is a confusing question. "Money. Here!" I said and took one hundred and twenty from my pocket. I showed it to him. "This thing you call money?" It's a raised eyebrow. "Yes, this is money. In Tagalog, we call this 'pera'. If you don't have this, you'll die of hunger." "P-era." He said money in Tagalog. "Wow! Cool! When I say 'money'." He spoke in English and was very happy when he said the money correctly.

In Vanessa’s case, mukhang hindi. Bakit selos ka? Hindi ah! sabi ng dalawang tinig na nag-uusap sa isip ng dalaga. Tala!

If he doesn't want to eat, I don't care anymore. After a while he spoke, "Saan mo gustong pumunta?” (Where do you want to go?) "Can you speak Tagalog? I feel like I'm in the 18th century and you'll just speak English to me?" I said, annoyed. (Baka gusto mong magtagalog? Feel na feel kong para akong nasa 18th century tapos i-english-in mo lang ako?) He chuckled. “Kung ganoon ay saan mo ninanais pumunta, binibini? Maaari ko bang malaman?” (Where do you wish to go, my lady? May I know?) He even bowed in front of me which made me laugh.

hindi niya napigilan ang sarili na tanungin ito. "Ang gwapo mo naman," nagniningning ang mga matang bati niya sa lalaki. "Ahm, yeah I am. Pero dito na ako lumaki so I speak tagalog. And you too, you're gorgeous." namula ang mukha niya sa pambobola nito. Sana mayaman ka, para ikaw na lang! Baka ikaw ang para sa akin. "T-thank you, ahm saan ka nakatira?" tanong niya. Siguro kung narito lang ang ina niya ay kanina pa siya nito kinurot dahil ang harot niya. Kinikilig ang bunbunan ko!
