ang tagal ko nang gustong...

ang tagal ko nang gustong pumunta ng palawan

hehe. paano ba sabihin sa english yan.

For so long I've wanted to go to Palawan. (sabi ng fil - am na kakilala ko)

or I've been wanting to go to Palawan or I've been longing to go to Palawan (sabi ng writer kong boyfriend)

so kayo na bahala which version works for you best.

posthumous

- things done after someone died.. like

posthumous birth - a birth that occurred after the parent died

posthumous execution - a ceremonial execution of someone already dead

posthumous name - an honorary name given to a person who has died

posthumous printing - they have printed the books after the author died

things like that.

Ginawang Movie

how do you say in English ginawang movie yung isang novel?

-- the best I could film is .. they made it into a movie or...

there was a film adaption..

umikot - spin around, turn around, walk around

in Filipino, ginagamit natin ang salitang "umikot" sa lahat ng conteksto. Pero iba - ibang phrases naman ang katapat nito sa Ingles. Halimbawa:

umikot ka - turn around

umikot ka nang umikot hanggang mahilo - spin around until you get dizzy

umiikot ang trumpo - spinning

umikot ka sa paaralan - walk around the school

so the operative word is around .. you just use it together with another action word

tighten

tighten - sikipan

loose - maluwag

tighten the screw

minsan naiisip ko na madali lang naman maintindihan ang mga salitang ito. hirap lang maalala pag nasa conversation kana.

kainis.
