Filipino (Tagalog) VS Spanish: Are there similarities ?!! 

As a Filipino, Im surprised that she's surprised about all the most common similar words.

Spanish counting numbers usually used in bisaya or Cebuano dialect in the Phil :)

Just the vocabularies are the same but the grammar and the language itself is so different. I must say if you want to compare a Philippine language in Spanish it has to be "Chavacano".

The history of the Philippines from 1565 to 1898 is known as the Spanish colonial period, during which the Philippine Islands were ruled as the Captaincy General of the Philippines within the Spanish East Indies, initially under the Kingdom of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, based in Mexico City, until the independence

The name 'Philippines' itself was named after Prince Philip (later King Philip II) of Spain, by the Spanish explorer Ruy Lopez de Villalobos during his 1542-1546 expedition to the islands.

Most people familiar with the Filipino language are aware that roughly 20 to 30 percent of our words can be traced to Spanish roots but what many people, even Filipinos themselves are unaware of, is that a sizable portion of Filipino vocabulary can also be traced to an ancient language spoken in Mexico since 5CE called Nahuatl. Some of the everyday Filipino words that have Nahuatl origin are words like "nanay" (mother) "tatay" (father) "palengke" (public market) "tiangge" (flea market) "pitaka" (wallet) "tukayo" (namesake) "achuete" (anato) The past Mexican Ambassador to the Philippines, Ambassador Camarena mentioned that about 10 percent of the Philippine vocabulary has Nahuatl origins. How this came to be is because of the Manila Acapulco galleon trade that run twice a year for 250 years without fail from 1565-1815 between Manila in the Philippines and Acapulco in Mexico. During this long period, there have been tons of cultural exchanges between the Philippines and Mexico. For further readings, there was an article written for the Manila Bulletin by Gemma Cruz Araneta aptly titled "Mexico, Our Older Sister"

In my language CEBUANO there are many Spanish that we used like tinidor,kutsara,silya,lamesa,medjas,and many more, especially when the old person speak.

Excelente trabajo muy bonito video y muy interesante,saludos a toda esa gente inteligente que se esfuerza por conservar ese lenguaje tan hermoso,saludos desde California USA 🇺🇸

Grabe naman reaksyon ni Ate. Parang di niya alam na sinakop ang Pilipinas ng Kastila dati.

In some other provinces of the #Philippines They speak Spanish like in Zamboanga and other near cities in Visayas even in #Pampanga we have México Pampanga hehe 😀

We have a Spanish subject before when we were in highschool.

Some of the Tagalog words which is same in Spanish has also a deeper Tagalog equivalent but some Fils used and more familiar with the Spanish words so the deeper Tagalog words is set aside , grammar and spelling is lso a bit change. And yep because Spanish rules us before thats why

I am expecting this to happen because Philippines was colonized by Spain for 333 years. One of the legacies of Spain in the Philippines is their language. That's the reason why some Filipinos know how to speak Spanish language specially in some part of Mindanao

We usually use Spanish when counting below 50 and and telling prices/fares. We use english for larger numbers We use native number when counting smaller quantity like 20 below.

The number 'ten(10)' in tagalog is 'sampu', but alot of people here in the Philippines is using the term 'diez' which we adopt it from spanish. Uno dos tres quatro sinco sais siyete otso nuwebe diez onse dose trese katorse kinse, etc...

somewhere in Visayas and Mindanao Philippines we know some language of Spanish 👍

There's a Spanish land here in the Philippines. It is Zamboanga City, they call their language Chavacano or Broken Spanish.

I would recommend Chavacano dialect. It's a Spanish creole in the City of Zamboanga.

Cora is genuinely surprised. But there are other words that are not similar. Happy is Masaya happy is Feliz.

try hiligaynon language in 🇵🇭 and compare it in spanish you will be surprise👍

So many Spanish words are being used by Filipinos especially Ilonggos. My mother before has many Spanish quotations.

wow so nice to see similarities. Hope to see more content again soon!

Amazing video 👌

Tagalog and Spanish are two completely and alien different languages.

DOMINGO IN CEBU MEANS SUNDAY

Great keep sharing

and that's the start ❤️

Love ❤️ this video

Good content. Great video.🎣

shes so happy!! 👏🏻

Amazing vlog

The Filipina is so happy!!! Luv her!

If Spanish people go to Philippines I do recommend Zamboanga which do speak Chavacano a Filipino Spanish dialect more Spanish words used in sentences 🎉

Due to a longest years colonizing the Philippines by the Spanish we adopted the Latin word and that's the legacy left to the pilipinos.

casi es lo mismo. solo que la manera de escribir es lo que cambia. Mi país Guinea Ecuatorial también fue colonia Española como el tuyo.

Watching here... Enjoy it and its nearly same...

Spanish should be taught again as a core subject starting kindergarten level so that future generation of Filipinos can converse with Argentines with ease.

When we count we used also spanish numbers,but its diffrent in tagalog number or numero.

heaps of similarities💯🇵🇭

Best one ☝️

There are some languages I used to hear when I was younger that I really don't hear today. Just like adios, joven ka pa, masakit ang akon corazon, but there are still some Spanish words that I usually hear even today. Like llave or susi in tagalog, puerta or pinto in Tagalog, pensar or think, cambio or change, antipara or eyeglasses, mercado o palengke, botella or bote, at marami pa, sa ilonngo term ko inbinase dahil ilonggo ako.

Ate amaze na amaze na halos pareho ang salita sa spanish natural lang naman yan sa tagal tayong sinakop niyan diba nga ang matatanda satin eh spanish ang mga salita.

Ayehh😍

Calcetines en español es “medias” aquí en Filipinas. Soy de Cebú.🇵🇭

hi.. im.a finipino also but my parents history..said that our grand grandparents is spanish..

When Spanish people arrived to Phillipines, they "mixed uo" language, and the way of living, changed many journal stuffs, most spanish words are related to food, clothes, and many things "well known" between 15th tp 18th centuy. After Spain, then England colonized phillipines and they changed rules. Abolished Spanish and set English as a National Language. Basically thats the reason of a partial influence related to "Daily Basic Stuffs" such as "Colours, Days, Foods, Numbers, Months, Clothes, and daily stuffs" (Think about life in 15th or 18th). Same thing happened in many aborigen's groups in latin america, many words does not exist (actually words such as "Internet" in Guarani or Quechua) So they are forced to say "Internet" .... same things happened in Latin America and even in Phillipines, people didn't know about clothes, every native region they had their own gods, accounting systems, and calendars, and all them were replaced by church with evangelization....even the language.

We do have Spanish language subject back then (Highschool and college). Hablo un poco de español.

Enjoy...sending full my supports👍💪💪❤️💚🍀☘️🌿

Very few use "palikuran", and some use Domingo for sunday

Domingo- is linggo for Bisayan. Mostly maraming alam na Spanish words Yung Visayas at Mindanao.

Visaya and Chavacano are speak Español mostly. I am Visaya and we count número uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco ______

aside from ZAMBOANGA CHAVACANO, GO TO ILOILO ,especially central iloilo we also speak spanish as one of the oldest places colonized by spain , our family names are spanish mine is lopez,

You are awesome

i love it..

Tagalog qnd spanish has similarities because we Filipinos are using spanish words which we are not aware,because what i know 3 main dialect of filipinos are TAGALOG,ENGLISH AND SPANISH😊

Nice conversation 😂😂😂 👍👍

Watching my friends

Greatest

Filipino speak only some spanish words but not in phrase. Cebuano is another tribe in Philippines has more spanish words than Tagalog. Chavacano also speak spanish in phrase but in wrong grammar.

300 years of Spain olonizing the Philippines so they should have lots of language similarities.So nice to hear them . Keep going❤️👍👌

Those are Tagalog but Spanish loanwords. Many pure tagalog words are now considered “deep” since Spanish loanwords are more commonly use. For example “Math”, in tagalog (Spanish loanwords) it’s “Matematika”. In pure tagalog it’s “Sipnayan”.

I wonder why the lady didnt know that mostly words in tagalog are derived from spanish..

Thanks for the hand picked words and phrases. Well done. This is REALLY getting old. Can you do a video where she only speaks Tagalog to him? So that he has no idea what she's saying whatsoever?

By the way the Philippines is colonized by the Spain so some of the language of Philippines is Spanish and there are many islands in Philippines who only speak spanish . Buenas dias

In Visayas region linggo says domingo.

Me, a filipina who speaks spanish from argentina.. this video is perfect for me AAHHAHA

Same but only speeling is not the same. Here we count number also ono, dos, tres, cuatro,sinko,sais...but now we count mostly english...

Best of the best

Sunday-Domingo in ilocano, another language in Philippines,, also asukar..

Nagugulat si ate sa similarities, hindi seguro alam ni ate na nasakop tayo ng Español 😆

I'm wondering why is that filipino girl so surprised with all the similarities. Like girrrlllll

Wow 😳

Remember ilang taon tayong sinakop ng mga espanyol, kaya halos salita natin galing talag sa kanila, like me im zamboangeña, chavacano lenguahe namin totally latin word kmi halos lahat ng salita nmin sa espanyol ..

Nice 👍

In Bisaya we say Dominggo, and we also count in Spanish from Uno to Diyes.

She's so surprised and laughs a lot

Filipino language is Broken Spanish. That's why many words are similar but different spelling.

We also have caballa but it's spelled like this: cabalyas or kabalyas if I'm not mistaken.

Ang galing naman

Matagal kasi tayong sinakop nang mga kastila kaya na adopt na natin ang halos sa kanilang lengguahe

May similarity po ang language nang pilipinas at spanish kc matagal pong nanirahan dto sa pilipinas ang mga span yol.

i love this vedeo tagalog and spanish.

all verbs in chavacano which is the dialect of zamboanga city are similar to Spanish dialect you just add r for example bayla_ baylar dance, canta_ cantar, sing, corre_ correr_ run, toma_ tomar_ drink , corta_ cortar_ cut almost all verts just add r

Sampu/sampo maybe from our Filipino language/Austronesian language because i heard its sapulo in visayas or sepulo in Indonesian language.

We used the banyo word more than the palikuran because it's more shorter and understandable to modern and old pinoys

I'm from Philippines. I'm an Igorot in my village we count in Spanish.

Our forefathers before were forcefully learned to speak Spanish In school...in the old days.. They were not allowed to speak their own dialect in public.. My father when he was still alive..if he was upset to us.. he yell in Spanish😀 his way of disciplining us.. was very "Spanish" 😀😀

Dahil tayo ay under NG Español noong araw Kaya ang Salita natin ay galling sa kanila

We used Dominggo also in Ilonggo and other Visayan dialects..Libggo is for Tagalog.

Domingo is commonly used in visayas areas as Sunday we don't say lingo its tagalog words

Tagalog is a mix of Spanish like (kutsara,tinidor.mesa,kubyertos,tukador, casa,menudo,afritada,adobo,marami pang iba...300+ years ba naman tayong nasakop...pati pangalan at apelyedo natin Spanish halos lahat ng pangalan ng lugar Spanish din.

woman: hahaha i forgot that Spain colonized us hahaha 🤣 Some Filipino dialect use Domingo for Sunday.

In Cebuano or Bisaya and Chavacano language who came from Visayaz and Mindanao Island they counted as uno, dos, tres and so on.. Tagalog language is isa, dalawa, tatlo and so on... Chavacano is a pure Spanish from zamboangga city Mindanao island

Dominggo word, visayas and mindanao people use that, most especially in mindanao.

Numero diez,and domingo we speak these words in bisaya..

Interesante

Tamsak n lods

Philippines was colonized by the Spaniards for more than 100years..it is not surprising Spanish words has a big part on our language.. The Filipina speaks Tagalog.. If you get to know other Filipino dialects like the native of Zamboanga.. They speaks mostly in Spanish.. In some part of Visayas.. Most of the root words originate from Spanish language..in the old days..It is a pre requisite in College to get Spanish subjects.. And mostly our Surnames were in Spanish so as to some of our traditions, cultures and traits were influenced by Spaniards😇

Wow

I believe its Are you happy today?
