✌️😄🇵🇭 *PHILIPPINE or FILIPINO SPANISH 101* There was and still is a dialect, language variety, language variant or accent of the Spanish language in the Philippines called Philippine Spanish, Filipino Spanish or Español Filipino. It had features of Iberian or European Spanish (most especially Castellano or Castilian Spanish and Andalusian Spanish) and Latin American Spanish (most especially Mexican Spanish), then it later on developed into something more Filipino, indigenous, native or local to the Philippines with linguistic influences from the different, varied, various and diverse languages and dialects that were and are spoken and used in the Philippines. This made Philippine Spanish, Filipino Spanish or Español Filipino unique among the various other dialects, language varieties, language variants and accents of Spanish all around the world. When a "c" is followed by either an "e" or "i" and then followed by another vowel, the "ce" or "ci" combination turns into the (sh) sound. The "ll" is pronounced like a (ly) sound combination. The "ñ" is also sometimes pronounced like a (ny) sound combination. The "b" and "v" are allophones, and there's not much to no difference between the two. The "c" when followed by either an "e" or an "i" makes a (s) sound instead of a light or soft (th) sound. The "f" and "p" are allophones, and there's not much to no difference between the two. The "r" or "rr" in any place or position in words almost always just makes the same sound as there's not much to no difference between the two, and this sound may vary from person to person from being the rolled (r) sound, the tap (r) sound, or the much later American English (r) sound influence, while for some people there's still a difference between the two with the "r" having the tap (r) sound and the "rr" having the rolled (r) sound, and the place or position of the "r" or the "rr" in words doesn't much matter to not matter at all. The "y" makes the (y) sound just like the (y) consonant sound in American English. The "e" and "i" are allophones, and there's not much to no difference between the two. The "o" and "u" are allophones, and there's not much to no difference between the two, and finally, the "s" and "z" are allophones too, and there's not much to no difference between the two. There are also words that are considered and accepted in Spanish but came or still come from or was or still are only used in Philippine Spanish, Filipino Spanish or Español Filipino, and which came or still come from the different, various, diverse and varied languages and dialects used and spoken in the Philippines that were or are just Hispanized or Hispanicized in spelling and orthography or writing. Some of these Spanish words, or Philippine Spanish, Filipino Spanish or Español Filipino words are: 1.abacá = abaca or Manila hemp 2. baguio = typhoon, cyclone or hurricane 3. barangay = barangay (smallest political and administrative unit in in the Philippines) 4. bolo = bolo knife (large cutting tool of Filipino origin similar to a machete knife) 5. carabao = carabao or Philippine water buffalo or water buffalo in general 6. caracoa = karakoa (Philippine war canoe or large Philippine outrigger warship) 7. cogón = cogongras or kunai grass ("Imperata cylindrica") 8. dalaga = single woman or lady, young woman or lady, bachelorette 9. gumamela = Chinese hibiscus, China rose, Hawaiian hibiscus, rose mallow or shoeblackplant 10. nipa = nipa palm, nipa or mangrove palm ("Nypa fruticans") 11. paipay = paypay, pamaypay, payupas, buri fan or anahaw fan (a type of traditional hand-held fan from the Philippines) 12. palay = unhusked rice grain/s or rice plant 13. pantalan = wooden pier or pier in general 14. salisipan = salisipan, pirate or raiding war canoe (long and narrow war canoe, with or without outriggers, of the Iranun and Banguingui people of the Philippines) 15. sampaguita = jasmine plant, shrub or vine and its flower/s 16. sawali = sawali or amakan ( type of traditional woven split-bamboo mat used as walls, paneling or wall cladding in the Philippines) 17. tuba = Philippine palm wine or palm wine in general 18. yoyó = yoyo or yo-yo toy
✌️😊🇵🇭 "cielo" 1. Latin American Spanish = (sye-lo, sie-lo, siye-lo, si-ye-lo) 2. Iberian or European Spanish = (thye-lo, thie-lo, thiye-lo, thi-ye-lo) 3. Philippine or Filipino Spanish and Chavacano or Chabacano = (she-lo, shie-lo, shiye-lo, shi-ye-lo)
When Micheal Buble was just starting his career, one of his teacher tell him to listen and watch Martin Nievera’s performance and should learn how Martin sings.
If you can invite martin to your podcast, i guarantee you will have fun time talking to him. He is opposite to Gary V. If Gary is rerious type, Martin is opposite. He is funny and serious.
Agree...beyond comparison, both Martin Nievera and Gary Valencia have the same passion for performing their best making the whole audience in awe and sheer admiration for their great talents with overwhelming charm.
✌️😊🇵🇭 "cielo" 1. Latin American Spanish = (sye-lo, sie-lo, siye-lo, si-ye-lo) 2. Iberian or European Spanish = (thye-lo, thie-lo, thiye-lo, thi-ye-lo) 3. Philippine or Filipino Spanish and Chavacano or Chabacano = (she-lo, shie-lo, shiye-lo, shi-ye-lo) Buenos dias desde na Ciudad de Zamboanga, Filipinas!
@@shainajanecielo3583 Oh, that's great! Your surname then means sky, heaven, or the Paradise in Spanish and in Chavacano. How would you pronounce your surname then? Buenos dias desde na Ciudad de Zamboanga, Filipinas!
You should check out RAYMOND LAUCHENGCO, who was contemporary with Martin and Gary V. He was also very famous in the 80's for his songs "I Need You Back", "So It's You", and "Farewell", which was popularized in the iconic 80's teen movie Bagets.
Please invite him on your podcast. But be wear he is so chatty. If you were amaze with his singing ability, you will also be amaze how wonderful he is. I will wait for that day. Thank you Waleska and Efra and to your ever supporting mama and papa. For appreciating filipino singers. I always enjoy watching you. Please also check the song of after image song Next in Line. Thanks again. God bless Keep safe
My aunt used to be a dancer for many shows. Martin is indeed the funny guy, more than 3 tries for a proper picture because Martin keeps fooling/jumping around. Gary is the one everyone wants to perform with. Sharon down to earth and always shares her food.
Martin Nievera is a reigning concert king of the Philippines for almost 4 decade now. His voice is very distinct. When he sung even though you don’t see him you know it’s him He is a very upfront person . He is very witty and have a very good sense of humor. He is spontaneous. To the world, he is like a happy go lucky guy but he is a golden hearted one. He will go far and beyond for the people he love and he remembers names like a politician. He’s a real gentle hearted one. There is no dull moment with him. One of his best song in you tube is our father/I believe martin version. This was sung post 9/11. Watch it and you will no why he is the concert king. If you want to have him in your Friday podcast let me know.
I went to the oldest university in the Phils, UST. We had a Spanish subject then. I remember I got a 1.5 ( 1 is the highest). I didnt get to practice, after graduation, though, but I must say that Pinoys find it so easy to learn it. 🙂🙂🙂
Muy Facil a 24 unit requirement for a 4 year bachelor’s degree… Well , got higher than yours, those were the days in the mid-/late sixties at PNU, OLD Congress on her proximity so to Manila City hall.
Si. Es facil pero no agradable para Los filipinos a usar . Is this correct? Tagalog and other Philippine languages together with English will still prevail. But not the Spanish.
Fluent Tagalog speaker - I was able to have conversations with Spanish speakers after studying for just 1-2 months of Spanish. It's easy to just pick up and start building on the Hispano-Filipino words from Tagalog, Also, the pronunciations aren't too difficult to pronounce because a lot of the names, streets, etc. sound or are in Spanish.
Yup. I entered UST in 1986. I had four semesters of Spanish and never learned a thing. Hahahahaha! We were the last batch to take it though. It was abolished in 1987.
Filipinos not only will struggle with the ‘ci’ sound which they always pronounce as “si” instead of “thi”: valenciano va-len-SIA-no (filipino) instead of va-len-THIA-no (spanish) they will struggle with “ll”, which they always pronounce as “ly” instead of just “y” villarosa VIL-ya-RO-sa (filipino) instead of VI-ya-RO-sa (spanish) but with practice….
Actually, I noticed that in my travels the way we, Filipinos, pronounce the LL is very similar to Catalan, which is spoken in some Spanish regions like Barcelona, on Balearic Islands (e.g. Ibiza, Formentera). It sounds much like the Italian GL. Also, our pronunciation of soft C (ce/ci) is the very similar to Spanish pronunciation in Andalucía (southern Spain) and on the Canarian Islands (e.g. Tenerife, Gran Canaria, etc.). So, technically, the way we pronounce Spanish names isn't wrong. Btw, in both Spanish and Catalan, the pronunciation of V is the same as B.
The “ll” words being pronounced as ‘y’ are also correct because it’s “Castillan” spanish which was how we were taught in college. Try googling them and you will get TWO pronunciations…one sounding ‘y’ and the other ‘ya’, whatever the word is. It is not a ‘struggle’…it’s just how it was taught…
I dont believe it was struggling in pronunciation but that how we Filipinos enrich the language that's how we made it our own. I valued the pronunciation a lot when I studied the Spanish language some few years ago. Ll here pronounce as LYA not YA, CIE pronounce like SHA in Shampoo and so on.
Much of the struggle is with speaking. I observe that Pinoys struggle with the straight s sound: they often use a sh sound. This is lingual interference. Fukien + Cantonese speakers have that sane struggle. Fukien has influenced Tagalog + a few other Filipino languages. Many Pinoys are inconsistent with the th sound.
I didn't realize we pronounce sh so much until you point it out. For example: Disyembre (Diciembre), we pronounce it like Dishembre with sh sound. Same as syempre. But I believe we could enunciate ie like how you do if we want to.
Waleska sir Martin Nievera is one of the greats in Philippines music industry, one of the legends, he's been called the Concert King of the Philippines, coz every time he has Concert even in his younger years as a singer, he 's already considered one of the greats even being compared with our Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, thise two is literally the giants of our Music Industry.
Entry of the day: SARAH G singing SPANISH songs. From her first major solo concert, she did a THALIA MEDLEY. Do check this out. Link is in this reply section..
This one is very funny from when Martin entered the stage. You'll be laughing and be amazed. After all (title of the song) Lea Salonga and Martin Nievera (Tim's Music Corner is the name of the uploader) You should both see this. You'll see how funny Martin is.
martin nievera surprises lea salonga @playlists -This is just a clip where you can see Lea's startled reaction when Martin screamed behind her and she doesn't have an idea he was there and almost had a heart attack. Hope you can react to that song titled After all. Thank you.
Please invite him to your podcast. Martin Nievera is a seasoned balladeer, concert king and still active, famous TV host, and in demand for many private corporate shows. You'll really find this bubbly, talented artist a joy to converse with.👍👏
You just watched the MARTIN NIEVERA of the Philippines, a contemporary of Gary V who has sung tons of beautiful love song in both Filipino and English. He is a legend.
Hi.. I've been watching your reaction for more than months now. I like how genuine you are in reacting breaking down vocals and smtimes do an on the spot research just to understand more the video you are reacting to😊❤️❤️
@@abetb.Martin repeating that comment in this video is a jab to those who wanted to smear Gary Valenciano for his choice of using only english in his songs back in the day.
A little trivia: It was Martin Nievera who "brought / popularized" live singing on television Back in the days, most of the tv guests are just lips synching. On his tv show, guests are somehow obliged to sing live 😉
His father, Bert Nievera, use to be a member of the singing group SOS (Society of Seven) based in Hawaii. When he came back in the Phil. he started singing solo . His singing voice sounds like the great Johnny Mathis. Martin's voice also had a semblance of that.
Hi!! First time to comment. I just only wanted to say that they grow up in America and as I remember that when Martin was a young teen he was one of Barry Manilows back up singer if I am not mistaken. Their father was also a great singer in the Philippines Bert Nievera
I love everything about this video.. Christmas here in the Philippines also starts in September.. We start putting up decorations the when Halloween rolls in we just decorate a small part of the house for Halloween 😂 then vanishes maybe after a day or two. I also love that members of your family can be heard, I wish I could have seen their reactions as well..
Martin Nievera singing gives me a lot of nostalgia, I remember walking in the streets with the parols hanging on peoples houses and then my neighbors and their families would sing on the karaoke
In a joint interview with Martin and Louie Ocampo, Sir Louie wanted Martin to sing it, so it was first offered to him. Martin admits with regret turning it down the first time and decided to record it later along with others originally meant for him.
I love ur reactions ever since i clicked subscribe...i love to listen spanish ballads and love pinoys sing spanush songs as well. Thanks for liking pinoy artists, tradition and culture!!!
I feel you, I am transported to my childhood hearing this man sing. They grew up in the US (Hawaii and California). Martin has had to hone his Tagalog being in the industry but I suspect sister Vicki hasn't had to as much (possible she still resides in the States mostly). Love this; can't wait for your podcast with Pilita.
Oh, that's one of my fave Martin songs! I love singing it. Not sure if I've ever heard his dad sing, but Bert Nievere was the OG Nievera singer. If you ever get to interview Martin, you won't get disappointed. He's been a TV talk show host on-and-off for years. He is very articulate snd well, talkative. He likes to joke around.
You already had Gary and now Pilita. Two more, Martin and Charice/Jake Zyrus, and you complete the panel of judges of the only X-Factor Season in the Philippines.
I believe for most filipinos it isn't hard to pronounce "s" its just that we are not used to use it.. like for example... We can pronounce siempre but maybe for conveniece we pronounce it as shem-pre instead of si-em-pre
Love, love your reaction video of Martin Nievera. He is one of our favorite singers in the Philippines. I showed your video with my sister since she's also an avid fan of his and she couldn't stopped smiling either while watching your video. Both of you are awesome and always enjoy watching your reactions. Thank you for sharing and please always stay safe. Take care.
I just want you to know that u always made my day whenever you give reaction specially when it comes to filipino singer.. God bless u guys and your family..
There is an original English Christmas Song originally sang by Martin N. Its one of our classic Christmas Song played every Christmas --- title is "Christmas Won't Be The Same Without You". You need to hear that. Sooooooooo AMAZING!
Martin and his siblings studied and grew up in Hawaii. . In the 1980s, Martin was chosen to perform with Barry Manilow at his three-day concert in Concord Pavilion, singing back-up in a choir to the latter's "One Voice".
