CHAPTER 1 How are you Kumusta ka Ralph Woods a bank manager on a - photo 2

CHAPTER 1

How are you?

Kumusta ka?

Ralph Woods, a bank manager on a two-year assignment in Manila for the North American Investment Bank is at a party hosted by one of his Filipino friends. He is meeting Sarah, an advertising company executive.

Introductions

Let us learn about introducing oneself. Here are some words, phrases, and sentences.

Kumusta ka?

How are you? (informal; derived from the Spanish Como esta?)

ka

You (second person singular)

Mabuti

Fine.

ako

I (first person singular)

si

subject marker (This word tells us that the word which follows it is the subject of the sentence. It is used for proper nouns or names.)

Ako si Sarah.

I + si + Sarah. I am Sarah.

ang

subject marker (This word tells us that the word which follows it is the subject of the sentence. It is used for common nouns.)

pangalan ko

name

my (first person singular, possessive); I (first person singular)

Ralph ang pangalan ko.

Ralph + ang + name + my. My name is Ralph.

Ikinagagalak

pleased

ikinagagalak ko

I am pleased

na

linker (used to link words; used here to mean the word to)

kong

contraction of ko + na

makilala

meet

Ikinagagalak kong makilala ka.

Pleased + I + na (used for to ) + meet + you Pleased to meet you.

Study this dialogue to learn how to introduce yourself in Tagalog.

R ALPH:Kumusta ka? How are you?
S ARAH:Mabuti. Ako si Sarah. Fine. I am Sarah.
R ALPH:Ralph Woods ang pangalan ko. My name is Ralph Woods.
S ARAH:Ikinagagalak* kong makilala ka. Pleased to meet you.
R ALPH:Ikinagagalak kong makilala ka. Pleased to meet you.

Picture 4 Note: ikinagagalak is pronounced /ikinAgAgAlak/ with the stress on the fourth syllable.

Now practice the dialogue.

SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION

Lets study the following words and how to formulate questions.

Sino

Who

Sino ka?

Who + you? Who are you?

po

honorific; used to show politeness and respect

kayo

you (plural)

Sino po kayo?

Who + honorific + you?

Who are you? (formal; polite)

ano

what

Ano ang pangalan mo?

What + ang + name + your? What is your name?

There is no equivalent of the verb to be (are, is) in Tagalog. Thus, if you look at Sino ka ? the literal translation is just Who you? Similarly, the literal translation for Ano ang pangalan mo? is What marker name your?

A brief culture note the question Sino ka ? is not considered to be polite. Unless you are speaking to someone much younger, it is best to use Sino po kayo ?

Lets study how to answer these questions. One important characteristic of the Tagalog language is flexibility. We can change the order of the sentence. The subject (person, place, thing, or idea of doing something) can come before the predicate (tells something about the subject), or the predicate can come before the subject.

In Tagalog, the predicatesubject order is more commonly used, especially in conversations. The subjectpredicate order is considered formal and less common. Thus, it is called an inverted order by grammarians. Here are two ways to construct sentences.

Question:Sino po kayo?Who are you?

PredicateSubject

SubjectPredicate

Answers:Si Sarah ako.Ako si Sarah.
Si +Sarah + I. ( Sarah I. )I + si + Sarah. ( I Sarah. )
I am Sarah.

Question:

Ano ang pangalan mo?

What is your name?

PredicateSubject

SubjectPredicate

Answers:Ralph ang pangalan ko.Ang pangalan ko ay Ralph.
Ralph + ang + name + my.Ang + name + my + ay + Ralph.
My name is Ralph .
