14 Tagalog Words That Literally Sound *KOREAN*...😲 

It's interesting how there's so many similarly sounding words between Filipino and Korean. Though I had to point out that sana'y is a contraction of the clause "sana ay." It differs from the word "sanay" which also has different meanings depending on the usage, including "accustomed" and "skilled." 😌Great video, as always! Hoping for your full recovery in no time! 💪🏼

You speak English so fluently, very American sounding. So impressed at how much Tagalog you’ve learned already. It was pretty interesting those words you mentioned. So when I go to my neighborhood H-mart, will try to take part in the sisig area maybe after pandemic. Thanks for sharing.

"sana'y" is a contraction of "sana ay" we also have "sanay" which means "used to, adept at" depending on the context. examples: sanay sa hirap. sanay sa pagluluto. etc, etc

This is really interesting & original content Sylvia! I enjoyed this. Cute editing too😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank God that you recovered ate Sylviaaaa! If you can please do post your covid journey, we'd pretty much want to see it!

What an adorable video! Keep it up Sylvia! By the way, "Ang" is the definite article equivalent tot he English "The."

Glad you're feeling better! And your tagalog is getting better! Thanks for this interesting content! Can you do Sylvia does aeygo episode? 😁

It was interesting how you compared korean words to Tagalog. I’m currently learning korean and it’d be nice if you made a video on some useful korean phrases! 💕 Love your videos!

You speak ENGLISH so fluently and so impressed at how much Tagalog you've learned already 👏👏👏

저도 한국어 공부하는 중인데, 하나하나 그 Tagalog 단어를 어떤 한국어 단어하고 비슷한지 생각하면서 봐서 너무 재미있었어요~! 한국어 공부도 돼서 아주 좋았어요! Sylvia님 Tagalog 공부 화이팅! 😊

Your content is always interesting and this one is very informative to viewers like to Koreans, Filipino, non-Koreans and non-Filipino 🤗❤️ Please visit Philippines with Jessica and Moy!

I love these kinds of videos, your voice is so relaxing to listen to while chilling🥰🥰

I like seeing the similarities of Filipino words with other languages so this is nice. Thanks, Sylvia!🎉❤ Oh, also, I wanna see a video where Sylvia tries to sing that song at the end lmao-- or that idea she was talking about, like making that isa dalawa tatlo song more POP music like lmao.

You're doing so great ate sylviaaaa!!! You can already go here at Philippines, you're so ready!!! 💓💓💓

As a Filipino who's learning Korean, I've realized this for a long time already that Tagalog has actually a lot of words that are similar to Korean or words that when you pronounce it, it's like a Korean word as it really sounds like a Korean. Which is why I've been very fascinated with this. And you know what's more fascinating? I am a Bisaya, my first language is not Tagalog (Filipino), it's Bisaya/Cebuana and the Cebuano language also has a lot of words that is similar to Korean words and words that sounds like Korean words when pronounced or spoken in a conversation. Finally someone made a topic about this. Very fascinating!

This is so funny episode! Good to hear you recover already Sylvia. Your voice really sounds like IU when you got excited 😊💜🌸

Glad to hear you’re feeling better now Sylvia ❤️❤️❤️

So interesting! I thought you were going to discuss Tagalog words that had the same Sino origins, like how Japanese and Vietnamese have similar-sounding words due to the same reason. Glad you're getting better, Sylvia, and sorry to hear that your sickness was so hard on you. Thanks for the fun vid!

i just wanna say.. i really love tagalog especially when it spoken pure without spanish words and english in it,.. it is poetic when like language 🥰

Wow, your Tagalog has improved so fast, impressive!!!

I never thought my comment would show up on your video😂😂... I hope u are fully well Sylvia unnie. Keep safe and upload more RU-vid videos

Welcome back! Hndi kta masydo na'mis sylv pero not in a bad way, lgi ko kasi nakikita yung OUR BELOVED SUMMER sa netflix, kahawig mo. Haha. ♥️

Love your aesthetic in this video 💘

I so liked this video Sylvia. Very nice. Stay strong. 👍 Oh yes, I forgot to mention that you look so pretty and so very charming..🙂 Take care and God bless you.

Subukan mo ito. We also shorten the “ito” when it is placed at the end of the sentence. “Subukan mo to” (it sounds flowy). Do not shorten “ito” when it is placed at the start of a sentence. “Ito ba ang bag ko” “Is this my bag”

I enjoyed this videoooo it's so interesting! Thank you

Hi Sylvia, you mentioned the word "Toto" when saying the word "Totoo" In Hiligaynon dialect in our province (Negros Occidental/Bacolod) here in the Philippines, the word "Toto" is an endearment to a younger brother... 😊 Example: Toto Ben, Toto Mike...I think Jessica knows that since she grew up in Bacolod too.. 🇵🇭😊

Im glad you have been better on your recovery. Keep safe always Sylvia

this is so fun sylvia. 🤣 i was laughing almost the whole time. i can say your vlogging also has improved. bcoz some of ur vlogs u are just laughing a lot, tho i know that u really laugh a lot. but in here and your last few vlogs it became naturally funny and really entertaining. p.s. i wonder how ur feeling now that moy and jessica are now both in the phils. maybe u could collab with some other filipino vloggers in korea. more power sylvia love you. ❤

Good to hear that you've recovered from the virus, ate sylvia!! stay safe!

Soooo informative as I am currently learning Korean ❤️😃 Maybe a part 2? when you discover more similar sounding words as you progress with tagalog ☺️☺️ I also found some words like “pikon” 피곤 which means “tired” in Korean but in Filipino it means “oversensitive” or “easily irritated”

I found it interesting how the word, wake up, in Tagalog, which is "gising", sounds similar to "기상". When we went on a trip to Korea, I discovered the similarity between the two, after our tour guide told us that the Korean word for wake up was 기상. Aside from that, I had fun watching your video, and I'm so happy that I can understand Korean better since I've first started watching K-Content!😄

Thank you Sylvia for creating a videos about Philippines,I really appreciate it😊

You're so adorable!!! grabehh! specially when you smile!!! so cute and lovely! I hope you upload thee cover of a song called "MaPa" (tataratata) like that!! Am looking forward to that!!

Also, the word 'Ang' is equivalent to 'The' in english, miss sylvia. E.g. Ang bahay ay kulay rosas. (The house is color pink.)

Good job Sylvia, you've learned tagalog words a lot. Galing👍

im about to sleep but yt notif pops up Sylvia Kim so maya na tayo matulog 😁 waiting for you to visit us here in the 🇵🇭 and you can learn so much more tagalog when you're here 🤗 anyway its good to hear that your ok na stay safe always 🥰

Brother reveal ate sylvia😂♥️ hahahhahaha you're so cute ate sylvia sa part na "Ang" ♥️😂

Try watching this vlogger named Juwonee, her pronunciation of Tagalog is really good, even the slang lol. She provides subtitles too, which may be helpful to you…especially her most recent vid about self care or whatever. There is also Hana Cho, who lives in Davao or somewhere there in Mindanao I think. She speaks really fast. Anyway, quite fascinating and entertaining to see Koreans speaking in Tagalog, Bisaya, or any of the many Filipino dialects.

Wow galing na ni Sylvia🥰🥳👏

This is so interesting to know. how your perspective when learning similar words in different language 😊

woah learned several Korean words here Sylvia...i only knew the “totoo” and “ang”...the bonus clip was so fun btw

Hi Sylvia~ The reason I remember Korean words easily because yes there are a lot of similar sounding words .

For those who wanted to see the similarities as a list: 1. Hanggang In Filipino (until); in Korean (sounds like Han River) 2.Sisig In Fil (food eaten with beer, usually); In Korean (sounds like "trying out food") 3. Sayang In Fil (means "what a waste", "it would be wasted", "it's too bad /unfortunately". Example: "sayang naman kung hindi mo kakainin yan" = It would a waste if you don't eat it); In Korean (rejecting politely). 4. Isa In Fil (the number "one"); in Korean (sounds like moving out/moving to another place) or (Mr./Mrs., Boss, representative or head of a company) 5. Nga (nge, ngi, ngo, ngu) In Fil (depends. Can be by itself or it can be attached to a word as a suffix [ending of word] or prefix [beginning of word], OR even in the middle. Example: PaNGA [jaw], NGAyon [now], peNGE [gimme some], masuNGIt [grumpy/snobby], NGIti [smile], paNGO [wide/flat nose]; NGUya [chew/chewing], baNGUs [milk fish].) In Korean (sounds like poop 💩 in baby language).😂 6. Alam In Fil (know); in Korean (sounds like "alarm"). 7. Subukan In Fil (try) ; in Korean (sounds like "piled up; heaps of; lots of). 8. Ang In Fil (The/it is/that is/My. Depends on context, I guess. Examples: Ang pangit nito = It is/That is ugly; Ang hangin ay malakas =the wind is strong; Ang pangalan ko ay= My name is..) ; In Korean (sounds like "aegyo" or acting in a cute way; cringy "cute" sound) 9. Mag In Fil (can be prefix [example: MAGAnda = pretty/good]; In Korean (sounds like the word "like", like giving an example OR how we English speakers like to use it in our sentences when talking OR "just"). 10. Sana'y In Filipino ( the abbreviation of "sana ay" = hoping/wishing that); in Korean (sounds like "manly man/very masculine man"). 11. Dahan In Filipino (slowly/take it easy); in Korean (sounds like "sweating a lot/sweating profusely"). 😂 12. Inom In Fil (drink / act of drinking something); in Korean (sounds like scolding a baby OR "this guy/this bastard"). 😂 LOL 13. Tanggap In Filipino (accept/accepted/receive); in Korean (sounds like "the price of land"). 14. Totoo In Filipino (True/truth); in Korean (sounds like "again and again" when read fast?). HEY, IF YOU READ TILL THE END OF THIS COMMENT, GREAT JOB! 👍 💯 You did amazing! 🎉🎉❤😊

Gusto ko po itong video ngayon ate slyvia, nakakatawa po yung ibang mga tagalog words na katunog ng korean kasi may ibang meaning po pala siya in lengguwahe niyo pero maraming salamat po kasi may another words o phrases na naman po akong natutunan ngayon🤗😊감사합니다 언니💙✨ 너무 너무 사랑해요😘❤

You need to do the "ang" more often hahaha 😍😍

Omayghad its good to hear that you already have recovered from the virus! Keep safe!!❤❤🇵🇭

That was so informative, thanks

Thank you for the vlog♥love you

Sylvia your voice when you’re excited it’s exactly the same as IU💜 Great video as always! Mahal kita Sylvia🤍

Informative and very funny at the same time hahaha lmao 🤣

Ate Sylvia I always love watching your vlogs! Please come visit us in the Philippines!

Happy for your recovery Ms. Sylvia. God is great.

Is is just me? Can't stop smiling while watching her 'til the end of the video. 😍 I could listen to you like for whole day or longer than that. 💕 Loveyou Palangga (Loveyou, my love). Glad your health is getting better.

Glad to know that you're getting better! Both in health & in Tagalog. 🥰🥰

hi sylvia, good thing your practicing the NGA, NGE, NGI, NGO, NGU..this will train your lips how to diiferentiate the E from I, and O from U sounds, since one is lighter and other is deeper.. regarding MAG, its mainly used to emphasize TO WORK or TO DO..ill use taglish for you to easily understand it..MAG-cook, MAG-vlog, MAG-walk, MAG-write, MAG-count.. and its counter part is NAG, meaning DOING or ALREADY DOING take it like the -ING equivalent..NAG-cook is cooking, NAG-talk with jess n moy is talkING with jess n moy.. lastly both prefix can be usef as TENSES, like MAG for future tense while NAG for past tense..you can ask ATE PAULA.. as always nice vlog.. more power to your channel..

Very interesting vlog, Sylvia! I recall some k-dramas that mention "inom".. and I heard "isa" in a BTS song "isa kaja" meaning let's move? And it totally makes sense! You know what, when we watch kdramas, I can't count the times Korean words sound exactly like tagalog too! Like "Kayo" and so on.. 😊 And "wae". In PH it's like saying "Heol?" in korean. 😄 And isn't it interesting that "dahan-dahan" which translates to "cheoncheonhi" which means slowly.... and they both have repeating sounds/syllable? 😊 pls make another vlog when you encounter more like these! 💖

Holy crap girl.. as a Filipino American.. watching you learn Tagalog and listening to your thoughts and observations about the similarities as well as the differences between Korean and Tagalog is super entertaining. I must also applaud you as I think you know my mother tongue as much as I do at this point. Lol ! Please keep going! Stay safe and I hope to see you visiting the Philippines soon!

oh my ghad!!! i really miss Han River...sarap mainggit dun sa mga couples na nagddate haha i really want to visit korea again 🙏🙏

Your tagalog is soooo adorable. Filipinos will love you more, come to the philippines. Experience our culture with moys family, mr.bulbul,jessica lees family, dasuri choi and possible collab with ryanbang.

I'm so glad you are okay Sylvia! Take care of yourself. Eat healthy! I LOVE YOU!😍😍😍😍😍

You’re doing so well 👍🏼

Hi Sylvia! Based on your latest video you're feeling better. Dahan-dahan -- slowly / take it slowly. I've never really heard it used singularly, it's always repeated. "Dahan-dahan, baka ka madapa." = "Take it slowly, you might trip." Be well!

Ang galing na ni Sylvia magtagalog👍

Stay safe sylvia!!

Hope see you in PH Sylvia soon. galing na mag tagalog 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Glad to hear you are ok now 😊 I don't know just watching you and seeing you laughing makes me laugh too. Such a happy virus 😊😍 Always Take Care!

hey ate sylvia! i really miss your vlogs. and by the way, you are my crush haha. mahal kita!

Get better soon! Also, just wanna ask since this video is an interesting topic. Is there a way you can combine Tagalog in Korean words in a sentence? Similar to what we do for Tagalog and English where we call it Taglish.

I love it I've learned a lot.

Really interesting! Also you speak so well and charming,

"Mag" is usually used for future tenses. past tense uses "Nag"

Pagaling ka Sylvia. God Bless! 🙂

This it's interesting And pogi too is sounds like Korean Handsome in tagalog word "Pogi" And Pogi in Korean is "give up" Pero Ang galing muna ate Sylvia mag Tagalog ,nakaka inlove hehe

Glad you're feeling well now.Take care of yourself 🦋always

Very interesting i enjoyed it!

IU's voice and yours are very similar, ate sylvia, both speaking voice and in singing! So cute!

Great video! I just want to add or point out things. 1. "Sana'y" is a contraction of "Sana ay" which is "I/My Hope is..." in English. This shouldn't be mixed up with "Sanay" which can mean "used to", "skilled", or "practice". Examples usage for "Sanay": - Nasanay na ako = I have already gotten used to...(it) - May kasanayan siya sa pag-awit = He/She has the mastery/skill for singing. - Magsasanay ako mamayang bukang liwayway = I'm going to practice/hone my skills later at dawn. 2. Dahan is actually Dahan-dahan. Dahan is not the root word for dahan-dahan. It's like kare-kare where kare as itself doesn't mean anything. Dahan-dahan is also originally from the Japanese word だんだん(dandan) which means gradually(little by little) if I remember it right. 3. Totoo in Kapampangan is Tutu which is closer in pronunciation with the Korean counterpart. Kapampangan is the language native to Moy's place of origin.

For me is the "annyeonghaseyo", bcoz I always heard this word in so many korean drama and this word has a very similar (sounds like) sentence in tagalog "Anong sayo?" in english "What's yours?"

Meanwhile in 48g fandom, Tagalog language was mistaken as Japanese by its sound. Some comment said "Tagalog sounds like Japanese but sounds like Korean when used in rap"

This is both fun and informative to watch. We also find it interesting that certain words in local dialects have different meaning. Say in Tagalog for Manileno, Lumiban means absent but for Batangas Tagalog “liban” means tumawid. “Utong” for Tagalog means nipple but for Ilocano it means sitaw, imagine saying that to a tindera in Manila… ate magkano po “utong” nyo? 😅. Keep it up and hoping for your full recovery.

I got first comment haha see u soon in Philippines with Moy and jessica

hi supporter since the dark days :)

Sana’y is shortened “sana ay” just like how there’s is “there is” ☺️ SANA AY= i hope But SANAY with no apostrophe is actually a word meaning “(mag) SANAY= (to) TRAIN or SANAY= used to/got the hang of something Same words, different pronunciation 🤗 I wish to learn korean to 🤍

More of these tagalog study videos please. 😁

Its so interesring you learn more of tagalog lang. Looking forward to see you here in Ph. Sylvia. Come vicit us.

Ng - Preposition (by, from, of, with) ang - The Sanay - expert, accustomed Sana'y - Contraction of "Sana ay" loosely "I hope" or "I wish" mag- - (Prefix for Future tense verbs) nag- - (Past Tense Prefix)

Thats good research and you can compare more words later on as you’re really eager to learn to speak Filipino.

Ang galing mo nini👍🏼

Glad to hear that you're better now. Take care. This topic is so interesting. Thank you for sharing. I don't know if you heard it or not, Filipino speaks like minion because of this one sentence. Bababa ba? Just sharing 🥰🥰

wow..thanks for sharing.. i learn something.

야 나 하트 줘라!!! 난 방금 줬거든!!!

Sayang means darling/honey/sweetheart in indonesia.

Pagaling ka Ate Sylvia. ingat

We've missed you!

Adorable content :)

That was super cool 😃👌,it's like an enigmatic pattern the word has connections maybe it belongs to our ancient ancestors and as the years passes by the new generations gave it a new meaning when they scattered around neighboring island of the eastern part. That was super cool 😃🥰🥰🥰🥰👌🤟🤙💯🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🇰🇷🇵🇭

Have you already watched Jessica's vlog with SB19? Also, make a video on what Filipino words that you are struggling to pronounce. Love your videos and I always watch JeSylMoy videos 😁😁😁
