I am Hungarian, and one of my foreign friends told me that when he listened to Hungarians talking - especially when we say goodbye over the phone, it sounds like some nasty rap song. Jo (meaning good or okay, pronounced as 'yo') and puszi (meaning kiss - on the cheek, pronounced as pusy), so usually we end conversations like "jo, jo, puszi, puszi - usually repeating this a few times, as we try to end a conversation, well, what can we do :D

[@user-ok9lm3fj5l]

CJ Ruaya Hey, you're Filipino? I'd like to ask you something. I'm always curious. Why is the country name "the Philippines" but the people of the Philippines are Filipino? Why not the Filippines or Philipino? And why do you have "the" in front of the country name? I mean, we don't call "the Canada" or "the India", right?

[@CJYR23]

Yonguk Lee You can search it yourself but I'll try to answer your questions. Philippines was named after the King of Spain when a spanish explorer discovered our islands. He called it Las Islas Filipinas which translates to The Philippine Islands in English after the Americans colonized us. When the Americans departed we changed it to The Philippines. There's still "The" because our country's name remained as a colonial name. Filipino is derive from the word Filipinas and only the elites were allowed to call themselves Filipinos and the common people as Indios. Then a group of people back in 19th century encouraged people to call themselves Filipino to spread nationalism and to fight the colonizers. Just like in Indonesia and the other countries, they just translated the name that was given to them by their colonizers into their own native language.

And they always got a huge kick out of calling me "SuSu". My name is, of course, Sue. So it was a laugh riot hearing "SuSu! (giggle) Susu! (giggle) Where are you, Susu?
