Similarities Between Spanish and Filipino

Comparing Tagalog's similarities to Spanish and the relationship between the two languages. While there are many common words, Tagalog has a syntax which is very different from Spanish. Can a Spanish speaker understand someone who is speaking Tagalog? or vice versa?

I'm refering to the Spanish subject/curriculum back in the early 80s-backwards, because my mom and other relatives mentioned that before they had Spanish language (all schools I guess from elementary to college? Not sure), but after EDSA 1 revolution, the admin. sitting that time removed it for some reason... That's why for me it's a missed or lost of opportunity. If that curriculum wasn't removed, think how more competitive us Filipinos globally? And we're trilingual country! That's a big advantage for us Filipinos imagine that??!

[@user-zl6ck9wf7b]

We can not exclude the Mexican - Filipino connection. We MUST have learned and shared certain things with each other that we did not with Spain. Remember, we helped one another become free from Spain which is only reasonable and natural to believe we have certain things in common with each other that Spain has been left out of. For example, Philippines was a Islamic Malay country prior to Spanish colonization. Which means we shared a lot of influence from, India, Arabic among other more obvious (Southern Chinese). Here we have the term Mariachi which came directly from NorthEastern India through Philippines into Mexico. This completely skipped over Spain.

Removing Spanish from schools was a bad move IMO. This would have given filipinos the ability to be trilingual. Both english and spanish dominates a good % of the world, and we had the ability to communicate in both tongues (along with our native tongue Filipino or Bisaya) this would have given many filipinos jobs as well with an additional call center skill to even being capable of working anywhere with limited language barriers. We are the hispanic-asians. We are like a cultural hybrid of the asians and the latinos (i know, latino is geographically inaccurate but i'm going to use the person as an example)- two of the most celebrated/unique cultures in the world. Embracing that should be something we should be proud of, why let it go?

[@farisaltkiller3828]

The forcing of Catholicism wasn't so bad as most internet-"historian" claim. Regardless of whatever force they did, it is nothing compared to the violence that most native type of religions had. For example, the Aztecs used to all that apocalypto shit.. so i would rather have a religion like christianity forced in that shit like that still being practiced. Spanish is important due to global trade, other than english, spanish is also worldly spoken and it also gives that unique cultural mix that no other asian has. Your views are horrible man.

The woman in the video is not real Spanish. She is from PERU. It is incorrect to say Peru native language is Spanish, because Spanish comes from Spain which is literally half way across the globe. Spanish is their ADOPTED language, because they were colonized as well.

[@janical.7922]

Let me first give a little background about the Spain and the Philippines’ history. The Philippines was under Spanish rule for 333 years. Now, before Spanish colonization, the native Filipino people used what we call Baybayin for reading, writing, and communicating. This is the original Tagalog language. During the Spanish conquest, however, the national language became Spanish, leaving only the uneducated class (then called the indios) speaking in Tagalog. The middle and upper class Filipinos spoke openly in Spanish and Tagalog; this includes several of the Philippines’ national heroes like Dr. Jose Rizal, Gen. Antonio Luna, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, and more. After the 333-year Spanish rule, Tagalog has drastically evolved to include words and diction from the Spanish language. A lot of the Spanish words still remain in widespread use in today’s Tagalog.

I'm Filipino raised in the US and I learned Tagalog when my dad retired from the US Navy and moved our family back to the Philippines. I was surprised how many Tagalog words were actually Spanish-based. But there are words we use that are Spanish in origin that we can have the actual Tagalog equivalent. Like "silya" for chair can be "upuan". "Corazon" for heart is the Tagalog "puso", and so on. Filipinos can interchange or use the word that is common for them, whether in Spanish or Tagalog. However, Tagalog is a totally different language in its entirety. Both languages are beautiful though.

I blew my cousins mind when i told them uno dos tres etc was spanish. Were using all these words and many don't realize the influence Spanish had on our culture and language. Many Filipinos hate the Spanish language but you don't see the same with Latin American who don't speak their native tongue anymore. My grandma made sure she never passed down the language when her "tias" and "tios" encouraged her to. Its such a useful language and even in the US, the country is slowly shifting to be more bilingual. Its sad that under Spanish rule we were citizens but when the USA came we didnt had equal rights as other americans. On top of that, they erased the hispanic heritage in the Philippines but now the US is now moving towards a bilingual country, with Spanish being the leading language right after English.

Sad how most Filipinos don’t want their kids to learn Filipino or Tagalog. I’ve seen kids under the age of 21 who studied at a private/international school and most of them couldn’t speak or understand tagalog, and showed no interest of learning the language, even though they grew up here in Manila. I asked one parent why? He said that he’d rather have his kids learn English because it’s a universal language, I asked him why not learn to speak both English and Filipino? He said it’s not a necessity and some of the parents even had the audacity to tell me that Tagalog words are squatter words. They actually think that being fluent in English makes them conyo or an A-lister or elites?! Apparently, these people look native filipinos and it’s sad to know they are ashamed of their heritage. Idk what else to say though. I don’t know. All I’m saying is that I’m proud of my language, and most of all I’m not embarrassed to speak Filipino or even embarrassed to admit that I am a Filipino.

[@greenheartventures8971]

Cessy Prince I personally do not require my daughter to learn how to speak Tagalog but she understands it a tiny bit. Although she speaks Cebuano fluently (not slang) despite being raised in Canada. Both her dad and me are pure blooded Cebuanos. She is multi-lingual though and can fluently speak Cebuano, English, Italian, German, French and Spanish. Sadly, she haven't shown any interest with Tagalog. Don't get us wrong, we Cebuanos can hardly speak good Tagalog with our accent but we excel better in English language. Thus, our preference.

[@cessyprince1877]

Green Heart Ventures I’m referring to those people who studied and live here in Manila most of their life but wouldn’t want to learn Filipino, would often mock our Filipino subject in school and would degrade people who speaks Filipino fluently but not english.

[@achuuuooooosuu]

Cessy Prince Those are people who think that speaking in English would make them smarter, also because that they think Filipino/or any native language is irrelevant and must not be used. And I’m sick of that mindset! Parents must teach their kids both languages. Filipino is still spoken by the majority, even other local languages included. According to research, only about 1% (0.07%) of Filipinos only speak English as their first language in the household. I’ve seen some of my classmates who speak English more often, but at least they can also speak and understand Filipino fluently! But seeing a parent raising their child to only learn English but not Filipino? Also considering that it consists of “skwater” words? That is just absurd. The Filipino language is beautiful by itself, even other local languages. Their perception stands by seeing how other people use it, but that’s only them. How bland. It is encouraged that they must teach both languages. But oh boy, I feel like they’re breaking the law, but that’s just me.

[@greenheartventures8971]

Кит168 Totally get what you are saying. We Cebuanos (Bisaya in general) rarely use Tagalog anywhere in Visayas and Mindanao. If we try speaking Tagalog, it always sounded awkward. Thus, Cebuano has always been our language at home. I'm just proud of my girl to speak fluently Cebuano despite being raised in Canada. Tagalog might only be applicable to Tagalog speaking parents and families but not for Visayans and Mindanao.

[@achuuuooooosuu]

Green Heart Ventures I believe that Tagalog/Filipino is still a necessity to learn for every Filipino. They might not speak the language itself, but it is important that they understand it (Like someone who understands English, but doesn’t speak it much). But I think that’s just my bias since I’m a Tagalog myself. (Who can’t even understand any other native language) Personally, I actually don’t mind other Visayans’ accent when speaking Filipino, the important thing is that they can speak it and understand each other. But somehow, I wanted to be fair with them and learn Cebuano as well. I just don’t know which source or online material I should get.

@@clarenceloie8995 no need to get butthurt.. but funny how when i lived in the Philippines for a year and when someone would tell me they don't speak Tagalog they would say "i speak Ilocano, it is my dialect". The fact that my wife says ilocano is her second dialect shows it is still used that way.. this is not a history class. Im just going by experience. Some will say it's their language or their dialect. Doesn't need to necessarily be "language" And googles definition of "dialect says this" "DIALECT" a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group which makes sense since not everyone in the Philippines speaks Ilocano.. most northern region of Luzon speaks it.

@@clarenceloie8995 hahahahaha. Study first before making an argument. Filipino/Tagalog is our nations language and our identity being a filipino. While dialect is also a form of language which we speak in different region or places in the country. And speaking a dialect is also an identity where ethnic group or places you are belong. We have 170+ dialects and i can only speak 3 different dialects of Visaya. Philippines is a country where every city has a bit different culture and vibrant.

Actually the video was wrong comparing Tagalog to Spanish, because Tagalog did not evolve from Spanish, it just adopted many Spanish words. On the other hand Chabacano is a better comparison. Because it is really a creole of Spanish, the similarities will go beyond vocabulary. The grammar of Chabacano is comparable to Spanish, but obviously Chabacano has fewer tenses because creole languages simplify the complicated grammar of the source language. Better compare Tagalog and Bisaya to Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia.

[@hantakdayon2128]

One example is the Tagalog / Filipino word "siyempre." It's a borrowed word from Spanish, the spelling of which is "siempre." However, the Filipino meaning is different from the Spanish. Siempre in Spanish means "forever." Example: Solo para SIEMPRE. (Forever alone.). On the other hand, siyempre in Filipino means "of course" or "certainly." Halimbawa: SIYEMPRE naman. Wala ng iba. (Certainly. There's no one else.).
