We are fond of re-constructing the language.1) There’s the GI+ verb, such as,”Gisabi kasi ni Helen na mag-absent si Bernard bukas”, or “Ginanon ni Lalai si Belinda sa mukha”. You’ll never find “ginanon” in any dictionary, I swear. 2) There’s the KA+adjective, as in, “Kaputi gyud ng mukha ni Yang-yang”or “Kapayat gyud ni Jason ngayon.” 3) The MAKA+ verb form, such as, “Maka-inis talaga si Albert, uy!” or”Maka-uwi talaga ako ng matagal ngayon”. 4) The NAG+ verb, as in,”Nagsabi kasi si Tita Prescy na pupunta daw tayo ng airport” or “Hindi pa man siya nagdating, uy!” 

Adding new words or new meanings to old words to the dictionary is one of our favorite past time. NAKIN: “Alam man nakin `yan ba!”, “Saan nakin kita nakita gani?”. KU-AN: “Ku-an daw ang gawin mo”, “Si ku-an kasi ano masyado”. (No sense at all.) ANO: “Na-ano ka diyan, Bryan!”, “Ano man yan si Van,uy!”. HA: “Lake-ha na ng tiyan ni Lulu uy!”, “Gwapa-ha niyauy!” BEH: “Sige daw beh, dare!”, “Pakipasa daw ng ballpen ni Tzaris beh”.     

That’s all, Thank You!
