I won't be so bold as to assume you've seen me elsewhere, but I'm from Mastodon, just trying out Sharkey-based fedi. I plan on staying here, so I am excited to meet new people.
I am a web developer, designer, and educator from the #Philippines. I also created @antaresphdev@mas.to to talk abou web development to my fellow #Filipino developers in #Tagalog.
I write about my life, career, and (sometimes) technology at my blog https://francisrub.io/.
I am a #LadyGaga super fan and a heavy #GenshinImpact lore enthusiast who also recently got into #MarvelRivals. I am also very into #fashion, and have created multiple threads in the past years to comment on the Met Gala runway entries.
If you want a nice little #linguistics video about my native language #Tagalog, here's a well-explained intro to the #Austronesian alignment aka symmetric voice: https://youtube.com/shorts/MF_1Di6Hy3k
And if you combine this with tenses, Tagalog and other Austronesian languages are probably up there among #languages that have the most ways of conjugating verbs.
I love how the logo of the recent Manila Spanish Film Festival organized by the #InstitutoCervantes leans into how #Tagalog has nearly ⅓ of its vocabulary coming from Spanish, including the key word “pelikula” from “película”. Even the other “film” loanword “sine” comes from “cine”. (Interestingly, the word “sinehan”, for “theater” or “movie house”, combines the Spanish loanword with the locative Tagalog suffix “-an”.)

really great explanation of the differences between the #Filipino and #Tagalog languages by @youronlyone

Since it is Buwan ng Wika (Month of Language) here in the #Philippines, I am reposting this graphic here too. The difference between #Filipino and #Tagalog is ever confusing, so this one would help. These are valid terms in Filipino, but some of them are not native to Tagalog but from other languages. A vital characteristic of Filipino is that it is deliberately open, almost prescriptive, to borrowing words from other languages, both foreign and local.
Just realized the #Tagalog "lamesa" (table) is from Spanish "la mesa", that's why we also sometimes call it simply "mesa". I feel so dumb right now.
Komisyon sa Wikang #Filipino's online dictionary (https://kwfdiksiyonaryo.ph/) gives three alternatives: "hapág" (which we already use but mostly for contexts of dining tables instead of tables and desks in general), látok, and dúlang (both mean a low desk or table specifically for eating).
Finally updated my website and uploaded the entire shoot. I selected 31 photos out of around ~1000 shots. It was almost impossible to pick and choose which ones to upload. Plus I did a little writing on the side.
PS: if you don't speak #Tagalog, the typical English translation for this one is mostly accurate. Happy #Pride! #lgbtq #philippines

Nung lumabas yung 7.00 patch, nagjojoke pa tayo na Dota 3 na. So itong 7.36 mga Dota 4 na or at least Dota 3.5. 
“We” in the #Filipino, #Tagalog, and Philippine English, #Languages.
* “kami” = speaker + their group = “we” in Philippine English = no equivalent in any other English variant (in a way, it can be similar to the “royal ‘we’”)
Depending on the sentence structure, “us” is also equivalent. However…
* “tayo” = speaker + listener (+ their group) = “we” in Philippine English = “we” in any other English variant.
“Us” can also be used depending on the context.
So, when talking to a Filipino, or anyone who learned Philippine English (like most Koreans and Japanese), check first what they meant by “we”, as it could either be “speaker + their group” or “speaker + listener (+ their group)”.
It can become a point of misunderstanding because of the difference in usage, as English doesn't have a separate word for those two scenarios of “we”/“us”, not like in Filipino, Tagalog, and other languages.
(P.S. And this is why it is important to always ask for the context first before arguing or “reporting”.)
How about in your native #language? Do you have separate words for these?
* speaker + their group
* speaker + listener (+ their group)
