The Surprising Reason Why Filipinos Say Salamat

[@ROYALesana]

[@jboycaceres2871]

In Bicolano we don't say "salamat", we say "Dios mabalos" or "mabalos" for short. The literal meaning is "God will repay you". Although "salamat" is getting common for the new generation, but "Dios mabalos" is still very popular until now, it's even the term for formality.

As a Malay i wished I could see a more brotherly cohesion between all the south east asian nations. We share a lot of history in common which our colonisers used to try to divide.

[@algladyou]

Nice. As a filipino muslim. I somehow connected the word salamat to salam in arabic. Where it has change over the time on how to say it and what it really means. We have the word "apir", when it actually means "up here" for a high five.

[@anonimiti]

So this is why we reply with Salamat to Salamat. It makes so much more sense than saying thank you to each other

[@StephMedia123]

Meanings change over time. The speaker's meaning is always more accurate than a historical meaning. Today, "Salamat"usually just means, "Thank you."

People want what they don't have. Hence, if there is no peace, only tampo, peace will be valued. A people who don't say "thank you" are not thankful. They are entitled. This explains why my gf quickly forgets everything I have done for her. That is in the past. She is focused on what she wants from me right now. She lives in the present.

​@@AstraeaJustice Wala naman sa initial statement niya na nag originate ang salamat sa Pilipinas eh. Replying with the intent to oppose someone and the sh*t you're disagreeing about is not even present in what they've said is bs. What do you mean of hiram na salita? A certain group of community use words or slangs depending on how often they use it. If new generation slightly change its sound it'll be passed on to the next and they will continue using it based on how frequent it's applicable in their daily lives. Example yung english word na "knight", silent K and G di ba. Sa old english spelled "cniht" pero sound "k'nigt" (sa tagalog sound "kinig-t" para sayo). Nung tumagal na keep yung K at G pero silent na pag binabangit. Nababago dahil sa bagong gen ng community.

Very fitting thanksgiving topic

[@AngelTail]

aaah sana nga fitting, rhyanjill-san, pero ang Thanksgiving na sine-celebrate sa Amerika (tawag nga riyan ay "Turtle Island" [Khéya Wíta sa wika ng Lakota + andaming pang ibig sabihin sa iba't ibang wika ng mga katutubo sa America/Turtle Island)... Ang Thanksgiving ay mito, panlabas ng kwento, para ma-whitewash, makubli and mapahina ang katotohanang nililipol ng imperyal, kolonyal, kapitalistang Estados Unidos ang mga katutubo, ang mga lumad... T_T Pero patuloy na buhay ang mga katutubo sa Turtle Island, sa Amerika, at patuloy silang lumalaban para sa katotohan, para sa lupang ninanakaw sa kanila, para sa kalikasan... Land Back! Kaya nakabatay sa kasinungalingan ang Thanksgiving, tulad ng kasinungalingang ipinapakalat na di edukado, walang alam, tamad, at "barbaro" ang mga katutubo rito sa mga isla, sa kapuluan, na tinatawag na natin sa kolonyal na pangalan na Pilipinas or the Philippines... Sorry sa mahabang post! At sana, may sense! Salamat, as in hindi lang iisang Diyos or relihiyon ang bukal ng ispritwalidad, kundi ang mabuti sa mga paniniwalang ito -- pakikipagtao, pakikipag-usap, pagdadamayan at paglaban para sa at kasama ang mga inaapi at naagrabyado ng maykapangyarihan... iyan sana ang maisabuhay nating pagpapasalamat sa isa't isa!

[@StiB14thC]

In bicol, a new term being told derived from salamat as we call it "salamatun" meaning "thank you very much". Adding -on or -un in bikol language after an adjective increases the degree of describing the original meaning. Eg mahamison - mahamis (sweet) -on =very sweet. Although salamatun is technically grammatically incorrect, we frequently use it nowadays.

[@GassyDaddy77]

Thank you in formal Bicolano is “Diyos mabalos”, meaning God will repay you for the favor that you gave. 😊

[@StiB14thC]

@@GassyDaddy77 Iyo po. Diyos Mabalos is the formal gesture of saying thank you in bicol. Salamatun is like a new type of slang in bicol saying thank you very much.

[@philipplouden5892]

I remember figuring this out back in college, when I learned Indonesians greet each other with Selamat. It dawned on me that as “Salamat” it incorporated “Allah”in the etymology and is an expression of gratitude and it was more of a blessing, which if you think about, is how the reaction many languages have when you’re truly grateful for something. It really speaks to the Muslim influence in groups in the lower Luzon areas and south. When I had realized that, I compared it with my culture. In Ilocano we say “Dios to agngina” which likewise means “God Bless you” in addition to “Agyaman nak” as a form of gratitude. I think it’s interesting how it speaks to the strong Spanish influence in the north. Since then, I’ve loved sharing this fun linguistic/cultural fact of the Philippines.

[@royprado4540]

Selamat (Bahasa) = Welcome.... Salamat (Filipino) = Thank you

[@yudhiarma]

selamat in indonesia/malay is not welcome. welcome in indonesia is "selamat datang". but the exact translation is "hope for peace/safety when you come to our place". or "selamat pagi" would mean "hope for peace/safety through out morning". selamat is a pray for your peace and safety

[@AbuFarouq]

Salamat is actually multi layered in meaning which is why there is a difference in usage across our languages. Translating to english sometimes gives it no justice.

[@royprado4540]

Yes when selamat is used in greetings it becomes "good". In Bahasa. Stayed in Indonesia and Malaysia for sometime. Learned a lot on languages which makes up my Pilipino language as well...

Goes to show that Filipino words are rich in character if you care enough to break it down and search the origin or etymologies in other languages. One example is the word 'katawan' or body. If you break it down to ka-tauhan, it makes a lot of sense. It means something that makes up a person which is a body!

[@Turnaround_time]

In visayan / cebuano, katawhan is short for ka tao-han, meaning the community or the people, the body politic.

[@BatAskal]

@@Turnaround_time which is also very close to the word 'kinatawan' or a representative.

[@Turnaround_time]

The tagalog word for justice, katarungan, also has a visayan root word. Tarong in visayan means proper or right conduct. We might infer that those wronged by others during precolonial times did not seek justice the same way we now view it in modern times, but more like redress for having been treated shoddily. Though unstated, the core of justice seems to be entitlement to the preservation of human dignity. Which seems to explain why pinoys today remain hypersensitive to hiya, kahihiyan, mapahiya, avoidance of which preserves dignity that in other cultures elsewhere is deemed a mere aspect of pointless ego preservation, or vanity in short.

[@ryleebrownfox]

salamat came from the Malay word 'Selamat' meaning good

They said Shalom/Salam when took all the gold Oro from these islands previously called Ophir where Solomon sent ships that took months to comeback. The west European Spanish Portuguese Italian just read the books and followed the money. This has nothing to do with religion, just money hungry men who use power and politicize religion to get gold. Then they say Salam/Shalom closest to our American spirit of gratitude is Share as we say thanks for Sharing :) They probably didnt know the value of gold back then, its just rocks for the islanders until everyone know now :)

I also doubt 'Mahal kita' is I love you, maybe it came from the word mahal as valuable, precious, expensive, 'mahalaga' as important. Mahalaga ka sa akin Mahal ka sa akin Mahal ko ikaw Mahal kita Even the word pag-ibig isn't exactly means love, it's from the word ibig with many meanings like purpose, desire as noun. Filipino put prefix 'pag' to form a word for love. Maybe our ancestors doesn't know what is love😅 They're bunch of nonchalant. No phrase for 'I miss you'. Not even 'nangungulila ako sa'yo' cause it sounds more I'm longing to you. 'I'm sorry' patawad is forgive, pasensya(spanish loanword), paumanhin maybe.. Hello/how are you, kamusta (Spanish loan word)

[@quen_anito]

There's actually a deeper historical context to the word "Moro" as used by the Spaniards to refer to the Muslims who lived in the archipelago. Moro translates to the English word "Moor". It originally referred to the Muslims who lived in the Iberian Peninsula, Western North Africa (Maghreb), and various Mediterranean islands. Even in this context it was an exonym with a complicated etymology. But sufficed to say, the use of the word "Moro", "Muaro", and "Moor" in the context of colonialism in the age of exploration was a way to leverage long standing prejudices Iberians had towards foreign Muslims in order to further colonial goals. And yes, it wasn't just the Spaniards, the Portuguese also used it to refer to South Asian Muslims. Zooming out big picture, the Iberian colonial endeavour can also be seen as a continuation of the crusades. It started with the Treaty of Tordesillas, which was endorsed by the Pope and signed in 1494, just two years after the fall of Al-Andalusia, with surrender of the Emirate of Granada. But even in the Iberian peninsula, negative attitudes towards Muslims persisted as there was an active effort from the Monarchy and Papacy to expel, convert, and even kill Muslims in Iberia that lasted until the beginning of the 17th century. This was genocide. It's echoes can still be heard today in Palestine, Rohingya, and even here, with the Moro people of the Philippines. With this context, it's much easier to see how the Spanish crown was able to use it's own people and make them do utterly cruel things during its colonization of the Philippines. And while the expulsion of the Sultanates, Caliphates, and Emirates of Al-Andalusia has a certain justification, the Muslims of the Philippines had nearly nothing to do with them. And equally if not more importantly, the Umayyad conquest of Iberia cannot be used as a justification for the genocide of Palestinians.
