Hi!
Bikol speaker hear. Depending on who classifies, Bikol can be treated as a language as a whole with sub-languages and dialects but I think that some of those (dialects) in Bikol can be classified as separate languages given the difference in vocabulary that sometimes we stop using our own tongues and use the one spoken in the main towns across the region which are more similar for some reasons. I came from the island of Catanduanes, we can understand some words being spoken in the Bicol peninsula though some words really are different, either leaning towards Tagalog or Bisaya. Also, I see Bicol as more of a mix of the two given the fair share of similarities in vocabulary. Still if you want, I can teach you a little Bicol, the one being spoken in the mainland and I guess what many Bicolanos would understand, as it is the dialect used in church all over the region.
0 votedJuly 6, 20160- Mag-isip is technically "to think". Mag is -to, but is not that commonly used in Tagalog. Other languages or dialects, perhaps, in the country do. Also Magisip can be sort of a command, like Mag-isip ka nga- but magisip is more of a verb meaning to think. Other examples: Magsitayuan- Mag- to (in this way it acts more of like a command, like what was said before) si- concerning the people wherein this is directed to tayo- stand Magkaisa Mag-to kaisa-be unified Hope this answers your question...0 votedJune 30, 20160
I just entered this site, though if you wouldn't mind I would like to correct some things in your paragraph. Don't worry, you are already pretty good (one can technically understand your entry), just some minor issues. Hope I can help!
Ang aking klase sa Tagalog
Mula April nagaaral na ako ng Tagalog sa isang kolehiyo sa Germany. May isang programa sa Southeast Asia ang kolehiyong ito. Nalaman ko ang tungkol sa klaseng ito sa isa kong kaibigan. Half-Pilipina, half-German siya. Meron mga tatlumpung estudyante sa aking (aming- would also do if you would be considering having it with your friend you mentioned earlier) klase. Ang karamihan ng estudyante ay half-Pilipino, malamang mga 90 percent sa kanila. Ang karamihan ng mga half-Pinoys ay hindi kayang magsalita ng Tagalog (or hindi nakapagsasalita ng tagalog). Dahil (Kaya?) nagaaral kami ng Tagalog sa isang klase. Tatlong buwan ang itatatagal ng klase sa Tagalog. Sana matututo ako marami sa Tagalog (Sana marami akong matutunan sa Tagalog).Just be careful in ending in ng but I guess you'll learn it later on. There were some that I removed but a little more polishing will do. Also the thing about the nang and ng, there are times when one should use nang instead of ng. Actually, a lot of people here don't use nang but for technicality it is for how (regarding how aspects). Kaya is That's why and Dahil is Becuase.
To be honest, I myself am not a native speaker of Tagalog (I have another regional language (Bikol) as my mother-tongue,yet almost everyone here can speak or at least understand Tagalog. We have lots of languages here in the Philippines, well depending on who would be counting. Good luck and hope you'll appreciate and like Tagalog.
