Okay. My cousins are English Speaking American Kids (well, I am too.. but I wasn't born here) and they don't speak a bit of Filipino. Now my mom and my nanny aren't good at english.. and if you talk to them in English so fast .. then.. well, they'll misunderstand you. Like..
[example 1] My cousin: Where is the bathroom? My nanny: ! *goes and grabs a glass cup* My cousin: ? My mom: [in filipino: bisaya] He said where's the bathroom. My nanny: [in filipino: bisaya] Oh... I thought he said baso (which is glass cup in filipino: bisaya) [example 2] My cousin: Tita Bing, do you have a pen I can use? My mom: What? My cousin: Do you have a pen I can use? My mom: No... we don't have pineapple juice. Me: *cracks up* My mom: Wait, what'd he say? Me: Do. You. Have. A. Pen. I. Can. Use? *slowly* -- Do you guys know people who misunderstand things a lot? ![]() |
