Hubby and I were trying to get some sleep when we come up with a Tagalog lesson session. I'd say a word in English, and he'd say it in Tagalog. After several correct answers, I ask him to translate these words:
Round 1
Me: apple
Hubby: mansanas
Me: pear
Hubby: manperas
Me: what? Where did u get that manperas word?
Hubby: oh, cos apple is mansanas, so i thot pear is manperas.
Round 2
Me: glass
Hubby: salamin
Me: no, the other glass. Drinking glass
Hubby: baso
Me: cup
Hubby: taso
Round 3 -- the one that really cracked me up!
Me: How do u translate "box" in tagalog?
Hubby: *after long pause* BALIKBAYAN BOX?
