Similarities Between Chinese and Filipino

In this language challenge, three Filipino speakers, Joan, Michelle, and Glowy compete against three Chinese speakers, Jackson, Vanessa, and Ashley. For any questions, suggestion or feedback, contact Shahrzad (@shahrzad.pe) on Instagram: / shahrzad.pe .
Filipino is the official language of the Philippines, a standard register of the Tagalog language, which is an Austronesian language. We explore the similarities between the two languages with a list of words, phrases, and sentences. A number of Chinese loan words are found in Tagalog due to historical diplomatic ties. Over the course of time, these Chinese words were adopted as part of the Tagalog language. The Chinese language is a group of related languages which, despite being categorized in the same Sino-Tibetan language family, are not mutually intelligible in many cases. Out of the many groups of Chinese, Mandarin is by far the most spoken, followed by Wu, Min, and Yue (Cantonese). All varieties of Chinese are tonal and analytic. Mandarin Chinese is the official language of China and Taiwan, as well as one of the four official languages of Singapore, while Cantonese is the official language of Hong Kong and Macau.

[@maayongaga729]

小明 Chinese very clannish. They're businessmen they want to marry their own kind in my island Panay but they do have Chinese schools if you want your kid to learn Chinese. Colonization also is one factor. Spaniards erased our names and changed majority to Spanish. Americans did the same. They totally erased Spanish language and changed the whole education system including the laws and gov't. to English. Chinese were either Merchants or refugees. They just do business and not interested in politics of the islands. Toyo= soy sauce= nuts= loco loco.

the first chinatown in the world is in the philippines...about 6oo yrs ago or so...mostly the immigrants were hokkien...so it might be that many hokkien words assimilated with the tagalog words over the centuries and most filipiinos didnt even realise it...like tsaa for tea...siomai(dumplings) siopao(bao)...and the hokkien for ate(big sister) is "a ci"/ a-tsi... etc

the reason why tagalog has chinese words is because of hokkien influence. there are many filipino words throughout the whole country (not just in tagalog) that is influenced by words shared by chinese filipinos who have for centuries even before the spanish arrival has permeated philippine society. chinese filipinos are usually mostly hokkien(fukien/fookien/minnan) people of southern min in the southern part of the province of fujian in southern china btw @Bahador Alast in the future, might be interesting to bring in a Singaporean or Malaysian Chinese who knows Singaporean Hokkien or Malaysian Hokkien and/or a Taiwanese who knows Taiwanese Hokkien in the future. dont worry, many chinese singaporeans , chinese malaysians, and taiwanese know hokkien

[@BahadorAlast]

Neophyte Thank you! We definitely plan on it. Stay tuned for that :)

[@joey-no4gy]

Indigenous Dialects of the Philippines would be better rather than the National language of The Philippines “tagalog”. In my filipino dialect “Isinay”, the word “sleep” is “meyo’” with the glottal stop after the letter o and in Hawaiian or maori, it is “moe”. Another could be found in the word Lani from hawaiian which means sky, heaven etc... in most filipino dialects, it would be Langit, or sometimes Rangi - which is closely related to the sky god of Maori of the same name “Rangi”. number is good to use too, especially the number 10 ;). the very common word “I” in english would be “ako” in tagalog whereas it’s “a’u” in hawaiian. the “K” in most filipino dialects turn into a glottal stop in most austronesian languages. Anak in tagalog is read as spelt but Anak in Indonesian drops the “K” and is replaces with a glottal stop - Ana’

[@Mitchery]

And what about Malagasy?

[@TheXanian]

Bahador Alast Would be cool to compare Austronesian languages and Tai-Kradai languages. I know a few words in Tai-Kradai minority languages of Southern China and the other day I was surprised by the fact that in Maori the word for first person singular "I" is "ahau", which is very similar to the same pronoun in Tai-Kradai "kau" or "hau".

Most Sinitic loan words in Tagalog came from the Holo dialect, which developed into a localized Holo branch in the Philippines called Lán-lâng-ōe, or Filipino Hokkien. The similarity is much more striking if you had asked Taigi speaking Taiwanese people there. If you are lucky enough to get a Taiwanese person who could speak Taigi as well as an Aboriginal language, there are even more cognates that they would get from one another.

I have studied Biblical Hebrew for many years, and have spent a number of hours on line and in books on Arabic because of the obvious relationships, and then because I am an artist and I can use the cool Arabic Script aesthetic elements in doing Hebrew calligraphy... while making statements about Unity between our peoples, at the same time. Of course Farsi is yet another dynamic which is quite humbling to me, despite its adoption of Arabic script. (i'm really an artist, NOT a linguist, but this is amazing). Thanks!!!!

[@riverthoughts2400]

Notice how the Chinese speakers say that they speak, “Cantonese” I think it would be helpful if the Filipino speakers can specify that they speak Tagalog. Yes, it is the “main” language of the Philippines but there are more than a handful languages in the Philippines that differ so much from Tagalog and it’s a misconception that Tagalog is the only Filipino language to other outside countries. Hope you see this as constructive feedback! Really love your channel I’ve been binge-watching them all bc I just love languages and really love discovering similarities myself!

[@akogepayo]

Filipino language is the national or main language. Filipino language was heavily based on tagalog, but that's not the point, it is open for incorporating any other local dialects .

[@vexana5488]

Philippines' national language is Filipino. Tagalog is one of the many languages spoken in the Philippines.

I love the analogy part of this when you break down each word. Looks like a fun group too.

"Ate" is pronounced "ah-zhi" in Hokkien (actual spelling used in Philippine Romanized script is "achi;" traditional script is highly syllabic, like an older Hanggul, and doesn't have consonant+h or consonant+s, so in the old script it's written more like "ha-cci" or something like that, can't remember anymore because nobody uses it outside of myth-themed TV/movies). Filipinos won't immediately recognize Mandarin because even if it's taught in schools (and even then it's only taught at the primary and secondary levels in Chinese schools), at home Hokkien is relatively more common. "Suki" is also related to the Chinese word mentioned as it translates more specifically as "regular customer," ie, the original Chinese word pertaining to installments or delivery before full payment was something you would only do for a regular customer before modern bank notes or credit cards.

[@murilocruz7752]

That's interesting. My mom is from Panggasinan and she addresses her sisters as "achi"

[@markv1974]

Oooh cantonese. Probably reason why nobody speaks chinese in my family. My grandparents are cantonese. So speaking with other fil chinese who speak hokkien wouldnt have worked

[@jingyitou838]

"Suki" is most likely based on Chinese 熟客(Shu-ke), probably sounds more like "suki" in Minnan dialect which I am barely speaking. 熟 is difficult to be translated word by word, as it refers to how deeply familiarized or associated which can be translated different in different context, most popular used to refer to the state of food - "cooked or well done" or in other context, usually refer to how familiar one person is with a person or with a certain sets of skills. It is used for "regular customer" because those are the customers that the bosses are "well familiar" with. It probably has nothing to do with payment here. 首期(Shou-qi) means the "first payment" or what we refer as "downpayment".

So to actually know that a lot of words in Filipino is derived from Chinese ( Cantonese or other form -I’m not familiar with other dialects they speak ) is awesome. And I also know a word from the far Eastern people-the voyagers, had similar words to Filipino words. It goes to show that damn it’s a small world after all 😆!

It is interesting to know that Manika has the oldest China town in the world. Likewise, Cebu is the province where our modern tokways such as Henry Sy and John Gokongwei came from. The Chinoy or Chinese Filipino group are considered as no different from other Filipino dialect group. And yes, a considerable lot of Filipinos have Chibese blood but don't speak any Chinese dissect except those insular Chibese families which still kept with tradition. In fact, some of my Chinoy countrymen working in Singapore and Hongkong vacant easily speak with the locals in putonghua.

[@racooncity3325]

The vast 99% majority of Filipinos actually have no Spanish ancestry but more than 30% of the population have East Asian ancestry. Filipinos having spanish surnames is actually a result of a law that passed in 1849 where a Spanish naming system was implemented on the population. Furthermore, the Philippines was not a settler colony like much of Latin America but an extractive colonial trading outpost. The Spanish population ratio throughout the entire colonial period always remained a very small minority. In addition, the archipelago's main function was to be not a productive center like Mexico and Peru but a hub for commercial relationships with Asia. Native Filipinos, Chinese, and other groups of Asian origin chronically outnumbered the Spaniards significantly in the Philippines. Whereas in the colonial centers of Mexico City and Lima approximately half of the population was of Spanish descent, in Manila and throughout the Philippines, the Spaniards continued to be a minority never reaching more than 9,000 by the late 19th century out of a Filipino population of some 10 million Filipinos. Much of the large greater proportion of the Population in the Archipelago came from Malay and Chinese Descent. Furthermore, the Spanish Mestizos only accounted for 0.4% of the population while the Spaniards numbered 0.1% out of 10 million Filipinos and Chinese. This was a very different situation in comparison with the America’s where the majority of the populations throughout was of Mestizo indian and pure Spaniard backgrounds. Disease also did not wipe out large swathes of the Filipino population which would have otherwise increased the Spaniard to local ratio but on an insignificant level due to the small influx of Spanairds present in the Philippines to begin with . Being part of the old world, Filipinos probably had a non-zero immunity to diseases like smallpox. In contrast, the Aztec and Inca civilizations were brought to their knees by the disease - let alone the smaller Ameri-Indian societies. the physical features of 99.9% of Filipinos very much resemble other south East and east Asians like Malays, Indonesians, Thai , Vietnamese, Cambodians, etc and Japanese, Chinese. These are what people in Latin America look like where much of the population are truly mixed with Native American and Spanish:

i would like to comment on toyo as soy in tagalog... according to google soy is "toyo" in Filipino language. in general "toyo" in filipino refers to the condiment "soy sauce" which brought to the Philippines by chinese traders, he said that the mandarin version which is much closer to the filipino "toyo" when the filipino team got the idea that he might be referring to the condiment "toyo". thats where the confusion started... when the chinese guy said that part of it is correct and that its not a sauce... I think "toyo" is not soy in tagalog, because there are other soy based food in the philippines like "taho" is made of soymilk curd... and the "tokwa" which is popularly known as Tofu...
