- 10 things all Filipinos say include Filipino words and what they really mean. There is a language barrier between mixed couples, and what we meant is not always what you heard! Do you really understand your Filipina? Do you understand what we really mean? Then speak like a local, and use Filipino English! Understanding what we said vs what we meant will let you talk like a local in no time! @TheFilipinaPea

That is really an excellent idea Pea, you are saving a few more lives today!
Those words are a must know for all Filipinas enthusiasts!
Your channel is a gold mine of information, a modern encyclopaedia, a favorite book, a rare balance of humour and serious topics.
Above all, it is always faithfully and so charmingly presented!
Eternally thankful Pea 😊😘👍
so u had Pea on the couch...good; Pea on the floor,...good; eagerly anticipating Pea on the "stripper" pole. Stop typing Ha ha ha. I remembered the video of dances of the Philippines produced by u and Jen. I could not remember the name of the dance and I googled popular dances of the Philippines and all these videos of young beautiful ladies working the pole came up. So as a U tuber chronicling life in your country I was hoping to see a video of u working the pole. Considering your ability to pick up a coin with your toes, climb a coconut tree, and the hair flip you would be a natural. Two sides to every coin. Good part.. ZOOM past 100k in subscribers. Bad part u would trigger over 100 cardiac incidents in U.S. Super bad part would be the 5k of TAMPO incidents released on ex-pats by their partners.😁😁😁
Pea please explain more about molmol
L
I like ur videos, you're funny & smart
The best part of my day! The Filipina Pea!!!!
Well that’s very flattering, Raul ❤️😊👍
Pea rocks your world and mine.
@@TheFilipinaPea Well what can I say that I hadn´t said already... Mr .Pea is a very lucky guy!...... :(
That "" Jeannie"" ending was spot-On and Clever , well worth sitting thru the Commercial . I was hoping for the cross-arm , disappearing, sound-effect . 😎👍
Thanks so much Pea. My girlfriend says most of this stuff you covered. Her and I have had so much fun learning about each other
It is kinda fun, isn’t it? 😂👍
@@TheFilipinaPea you have the prettiest hands and feet, hair and skin too,you look like you smell as pretty as you look.
When you can make a joke, not just repeat one you have heard, and get a laugh, you have begun to understand the local culture.
Hi Pea - This might be the most instructive and enjoyable channel about the Philippines that I've found! Keep up the good work :-)
Thank you SO much, Parvaze!! 👍❤️😊
Haha, that was funny, I learned a few more confusing words too. “My brother and her wife” always made me smile in the early days. The yes and no still often gets me, but it’s cute, and I love the way filipinas talk. Thanks Pea, love the sexy shorts.
The his and her is always entertaining 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea I have a Thai GF. I messaged her and asked what she was doing and she replied "I am here with my brother and my grand daughter. I said, "You don't have a grand daughter, you have a grandson" She said yes I do, he is the daughter of my brother. It still cracks me up. I was just chatting with her before coming here and we still laughed about it 3 years on. I still have to explain that she is a she and is her niece not grand daughter
Don't worry,the British and Americans are separated by a common language. We pronounce words differently,many words mean something different etc. So differences in the english language is quite common.
That's a good joke, well told too! But, actually the English speaking peoples have a lot more in common than just language.
Even in usa one state over another state words can sound different when spoken
Yeah, translating Redneckenese into English can be daunting. 😂
The ending was to funny! My wife was born in the states, but her father speaks very well pronounced english. Her mom however will start speaking in english, then fade over to tagalog and back again, to funny!
Hahahahaha
Yes, we switch back and forth mid-sentence 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea My second Thai wife and I messed with people in public a few times. (In the U.S.) She would speak to me in English, I'd reply in Thai. Back and forth. Her in English, me in Thai. The stereotype reversal caused confusion, which we loved.
@@TheFilipinaPea as a Spanish speaking person. We do the same. We call it Spanglish
Taglish! My girlfriend does it all the time
I want to go to the Philippines so bad it's so beautiful everything I've seen The food is amazing and every person I've ever met from the Philippines is so kind so polite it's just a different way of living there I want to experience it for myself thank you so much for the time you spend with your channel it gives me a lot of insight
Yes, the language uses can be confusing and funny. I now know how to "open" and "close" the lights, and "on " and "off" the candle. I learned about "cotton buds" and "pushers" , and why when I chat to my niece she always gets "nosebleeds" 🤣
I have a Chinese Singaporean wife. A lot of this video applies to SE Asia in general.
She speaks tertiary grade English but we still have plenty of miscommunication after 20 years of wedded bliss!
All classics, yes 👍😂
Nose bleed is one I haven’t heard in awhile. Lol
Oh yes! Nosebleeds@@@
Hurry up Pea hit 100K so we can see you dance around the Google Play Button Award. For the past 30+ yrs I have had the difficulty of communicating with people from all over the world its a never ending endeavor. I do my best, I have made my fair share of lingual mistakes but its all part of the learning process. People have to meet each other half way because you will make mistakes trying to communicate.
Being fluent in Spanish and hearing Filipinos using Spanish words is something that I'm not used to and super interesting, as my glass always haft full.
That's because Spain conquered The Philippines in the 16th century and introduced their culture. This is why Tagalog has many Spanish words, many Filipinos are Catholic, and the name, "The Philippines", was in honor of King Philip II of Spain.
I've been watching many channels about living in the Philippines and one thing I've never heard mentioned is the big difference in different areas of the Philippines. I've been talking to Filipinas north of Manila and all CZcams channels I've been able to find are by people in the southern part of the Philippines. These 2 areas are like two different countries. Reminds me of the difference between the north & south in America 50 years ago. I've been getting schooled on how Visayas Filipinas are very different from Luzon Filipinas.Really is two different worlds.
Oh, interesting. Maybe Pea could make a video about that 😀 As a viewer I would love to hear about the different cultures and dialects.
It sure is! I can do a video on the differences 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea please do
Thank you for the bola. I used the term BS with my LDR once. Now I know better how to explain what that means.
Also thank you for Char. She understands Joking around, but next time I'll use "Char" to surprise her.
Just kidding... magpasinda!
Hahaha :p
Hilarious ending! Actually, the entire video is on point. So many times my wife and i have miscommunication during a conversation. It gets confusing, and frustrating. Eventually it becomes a good laugh. I think a hit sitcom could be written from our conversations... 😆
I always think it’s hilarious to listen to a couple talk when the westerner is fresh off the boat 😂
Yes it is! We celebrated our 22nd anniversary last month, and we are still FOB. 😆
@@TheFilipinaPea haha fresh off the boat, thats a good one, reminds of Scarface lol
@@TheFilipinaPea You made a good point here, Pea. Also an interesting and timely video. Good stuff!
And NEVER...call your Filipino girlfriend that American nickname...Pookie!!!
Never, never. Never. Learned that the hard way
Wow, that "don't ask a negative" part really explains some things.
As a 'westerner' who has traveled SE Asia, Filipinos understand English very well, which is one reason I love to go there. I think the Pea has touched upon something that is common in SE Asia and is frustrating for us to comprehend. As we are direct and seek simple straightforward answers, other cultures put a priority on not losing face or being embarrassed. I found this irritating, because of my position as a business owner, I was used to raising my voice and getting a quick, responsive reply. Definitely a No-No in Asia. Loud Americans and Australians, take heed...(I grew up in both countries).
What a wonderful way to wake up,
Are you talking about the molmol? 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea what else would I be thinking about, haha
I enjoy waking up and watching your videos
Pea, you are the best. I'm so glad I found you. Looking forward to celebrating your milestone soon.
"Yes, I did not go to the store." I am a really literal person, so I LOVE this answer! It makes my brain happy!
With the first example "You didn't already go to the store, did you?" The filipina is using the correct grammar by answering "Yes", but westerners are the ones who mix it up. If he asked, "Did you already go to the store?", she would answer correctly and say "No" It's probably has more to do with the way we ask the question in the negative that it gets confusing, but her grammar is correct
It really says a lot about the quality of English classes in the Philippines. They are getting the grammar right.
I will try it out on my gf. "honey, you didn't already give the birdie a molmol, did you?" She will have to answer "yes" because she did not. . lol "no mo molmol for your birdie till the Philippines opens again." damn pandemic, so umay!
Hahaha
Always entertaining but informative. I take note of this and hope it comes in handy when I arrive in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I still hope.
I got a feeling that i'll be in for a lot of funny but confusing conversations in the future but I look forward to the experience. Thanks for the info Pea! Be safe and hope your day goes well.
ohhhhhhhhhh absolutely nailed it on the "until now" thing....which is said in soooo many different situations......like: do you still have head pain....."yes, i took some aspirin..and it hurt "until now" ....or...is it still raining..."yes it is..."until now" oh great....so ya'll can go outside now.......
Another HILARIOUS ending! You should definitely do impromptu stand up comedy in a mall or busy place as the next challenge. Also, the word "Lover" for those men talking to Filipinas. "Lover" is just an ex boyfriend...it doesn't mean sexual. Had me confused 15 years ago. Unless I've been mislead...then my wife is hot trouble and I might have to ask for Molmol for dinner. Char! Learning....thanks, Pea!
YOU ARE HILARIOUS 😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣. Had to watch twice and write down everything 🤣. With my Filipina girlfriend Lira, I have to be very clear and don't ask a lot of questions at one time. I am learning also. She cracks me up also 🤣. Great Video 📹. Salamat.
Love your energy!!
Thanks David! My mom always said I’m full of something 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea Haha! My mom said the same thing to me! Hmmm maybe you are a long lost cousin!! 😁
@@TheFilipinaPea The good stuff!
WOW!!! I've been married to my Filipina wife for 26 years and I never really understood this until now. THANK YOU FILIPINA PEA!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
Hehehehehehehehehehehe, You are a genius Pea! You are in the right place, at the right time in history. Thank you for being you! Love all the way from the Viking land of Sweden ❤
It's up to you.... I've heard it many times
Hahahahaha
Yup
Funny and informative at the same time. Thanks for another vlog of great entertainment.
I'm glad somebody addressed this finally I think it should be talked about more.
Pea, you just outdid yourself today. I laughed so hard. You describe my filipina exactly and it is good to know i am not the only one being fustrated trying to understand her. LOL Thank you.
I just started following you on CZcams and Instagram. I'm enjoying all your videos and advice. I'm learning a lot and will remember all your tips when I find myself dating another filipina. Filipinas are truly the best women
Oh my goodness, living with a Filipina is like living in a word jumble puzzel!
Yes Greg. It feels like a puzzle sometimes 🤣 But most of the time it is sheer bliss especially when she feels kilig!
It is definitely an adventure
This is the biggest reason for my problems in my marriage, communication.
Fun video Pea, love the ending 🌴👍
Wow, you watched it fast! Although it was fairly short, yes 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea
Change the playback speed to x2 😊
Congrats on the 95👍a great vid today,those are some strange meanings.You look exceptional today,I like the shorts too.Plus I caught that Sunday...as the Doors sang people are strange...But I find you exotic,in the good way beautiful.So keep that chin up and you'll be at 100k in no time at all.Have a great day and Happy Trails!⭐️🌷
I love these videos where you give us info on common misunderstood words or phrases, I always learn something from them. I am now very curious what a Filipina/ Filipino would think if I asked them for a cup of char? It means a cup of tea here 🤣
The 100k is certainly creeping closer so hopefully not long to go now 🤞
A cup of char?
Hahahahaha
You’ll get a very confused look for sure 😂
I would have no clue what you wanted in your cup...
Pea, is one of those very rare ladies that inexplicably somehow become more and more alluring with the passage of time.
Pea!...I'm NEVER UMAY when I watch your content!🙂🙂
GOOD! Let’s keep it that way 👍😂
Good video Pea! When asked a question in negative, I politely ask person to ask in positive because I’m confused. It works every time. One thing that always bugged me in the Philippines was that my late wife expected me to know all nuances of your culture from day one. When there was a miscommunication, I was the one to regret it.
"What are you doing?!?! I wanted a fish!!!"😂
“But I’ll take seconds anyway” 😂
Hahahahaha
"Yes you can put it in there".... I hear that a lot..
I like the effort and production value of your videos. It seems like you have had some experience in this area.
I had zero experience when I started a year and a half ago, so thanks 👍❤️😊
Shes really improved alot, and thats from the quality she started with, so it was already high
Great personality? ✅
Western knowledge? ✅
humor? ✅✅
@@TheFilipinaPea You're chroma keying and it actually looks pretty reasonable, using good lighting, considering your background and framing. You understand the importance of sound quality and your editing is good. You obviously put some effort into writing and delivery. There are people who've had channels on CZcams for years and their videos are still not at this quality. It's obvious that you have done some self-study, maybe watched tutorials since starting your channel. I hope that you get satisfaction from the effort that you put in. Keep it up.
Thank you, Pea, you will probably have saved me when I come to visit my LDR early next year.
Armpit is an interesting one.
Our daughter still giggles whenever her Mom says it 😂.
Oh crap! You’ve really got me thinking about past conversations at Filipino parties now…
Awsome..!!! "Sweet Pea"..!! Interesting that the "Spaniard" influence combined with the "Native Phillipino influence" then English influence has generated a "Communication Soup" that is interesting, funny and misunderstood most of the time.
Hahahahaha
Exactly
Thank youuuu
I really needed to watch this video
Actually, asking people "negative" questions, as in your first example, confuses English speakers in America too. The questioner often asks the listener for clarification. Exotic here can have a lot of different meanings--depending on the context. For example, an exotic dancer is probably just a stripper😅
Love your channel. Learning your culture is interesting and fun the way you present things.
Ok... here's my suggestion for Dare The Pea 6.
I say we get married, have 6 kids, and then after 30 years you tell me it was all a "dare"! Wow, wouldn't that be one heck of a dare??
As long as there’s no prenup - sure 😂😉
😆 😆 😆
I like your way of thinking!
Whaddya say Ms. Pea, challenge accepted?
(Then you could be Pea Hart) 👸🏽💖
Great video from an old married couple of 36 years. When we moved to the states my wife was shocked when she threw her first dinner party and was called a hostess by my good family and her new new friends. We all had a good laugh when I explained to my wife and guests. I like joking around and I see myself Saying I prefer parrot fish next time Filipina are talking fish. Thank you lol.
Oh noooo, they called her a ‘hostess’?
Hahahahaha
Filipina Pea!...you look AMAZING in your genie costume! 😍
gosh, it all makes sense. my asian sister-in-law is always saying "yes" to every question.
Great video. Very funny on language differences. Lol
Thanks to be always there saving our lives, I suspected my girl started to feel "umay", cause I was always sending hearts, emojis, etc. and I stopped it and it seems to going back to ok, hahaha but i didn't know it was an actual thing
Thanks! That’s my job 😂😂😂
I love these vids! 🙂🇨🇦
I’m so glad to hear that, Jay 👍😊
its one of the things i love in phils ,is when u try to figure out what something means when chatting with your girl i love the pi and the people ive lived and worked in 135 countries while in employee of world health .many many things have amazed me and yes we had many filipinos in our work its where i fell for the filipina , the worlds give us a great woman
First time I was with my wife and we finished making love, my wife said too big. I smiled with pride, she then said that meant water, and she was thirsty. My self esteem dropped. 😂😂😂
I think you made that up lol 😆
Everything comes down to communication... Then, you need to ask for clarification, have patience, and always have a sense of humor if that doesn't work... Great video! 😉
Question about the "molmol"- is there a pronunciation difference that Filipinos can detect to distinguish between the fish and the act? Or is it just context based? Love your content!
If you dont wash yourself often, its not easy to distinguish
Yes, I commonly hear the word bold whenever I took off my shirt.
Hahahahaha
Photos or I don’t believe you 😂
You’re making me smarter Pea🤗
I think you were pretty darn smart already 😊😂
Funny stuff. I see a part 2 in the future for this one. thanks for sharing.
Running 2 years na I've been away from Phils, and you have shown me that my "Taglish" is a bit rusty, but not gone. I enjoy the nuance differences and accent (mine is Kano accent ofc), and I 'char' with it at any chance. I am a king of 'Bola' & jokes. Been told, I am baliw and pasaway but never 'umay'.
I must say I have never seen any 'Molmol' opportunities in any wet market, always walking away with just maybe 2 melons or 2 young apples, and my 'Birdie' in hand but never any smiles. huhuhu WTF, Philippines is, "Land of Smiles", is it not?
The wet market is most confusing place, Milkfish, (Fish don't have boobs), and Bangus sounds like an invitation to assault me & my friend(s). There is a word in Bisayan that I use at restos when asking for the 'Bill'. With my Kano accent instead of saying, "Bill Out Please", I raise my hand and say, "BILAT please". I see who in the resto is from the Middle Islands by the turned heads.
Remember the Moo Moo only come for the children, so be BOLD!
INGAT
Hahahahaha
Say "JUUAATT"???
I spent 6 weeks in your fair city visiting my old shipmate James Madden who has a lovely Pina wife and son. The whole while I was there Jim was recovering from a health challenge at the VA hospital in Hawaii and he asked his wife to squire me around. She and her son treated me like family taking me to Ynot for brewed coffee and a bowl of wonderful exotic fruit every morning for breakfast. I began noticing a lot of Spanish in the Tagalog dialect and since I spoke a little Spanish (and even taught first year Spanish to American high school students). So one morning as I was texting Nessa I began with an endearing Spanish greeting, "Mi Querida ... "" I thought I was clever and feeling proud that I could speak a part of the language that she and her son spoke. When I found out what this idiomatic phrase meant in the Philippines, I blushed for at least two days ... hahahaha
ha ha good one pee . in aus we call speedo bathers budgie smugglers
Hahahahaha
Even the Prime Mincer wears them!
Thanks Pea, that was very helpful, me and my girl sometimes have a language barrier and it causes unnecessary stress. I need all the education I can get.
In the US something that's called mickey mouse means cheap, in Australia it means it's really good. Always amused how meaning of words differ from between countries
Me too - fascinating!
Fanny is another one
Wow congrats, on 100, 000, great job
The problem with telling her these filipino words is that she gets suspicious about where I learnt it if it's not one she taught me herself 😁
I must say the one that hit home the most for me was the Him/her-- she/he gender mix-up. Being an admin of 6 FB filipino groups I've met allot of people & that is VERY common I see
Magandang Gabi Pea;
Regarding the word "Birdie"; I'd be interested in knowing if a Nest would be a place on a lady for the Birdie to Nest, he he he 😂
I loved the linguistic lesson Pea.
I end up spending a lot of time answering the question "where did you learn that huh!?" But it's totally worth it, thanks as always Pea 😁
I have definitely heard he and she get mixed up quite a bit. I can't wait to go to a fish market there and ask for molmol. Either get a good deal or get slapped. Lol. Char.
Thanks Little Bits. Always a fun time with you
I can DEFINITELY confirm the gender pronoun flip flop. My wife does this all the time. It can be hilarious at times, other times it's confusing.......
I finally understand why my Filipina Wife often gets angry at my sarcastic jokes or confused at my negative sentences!❤
🤣🤣🤣👍
You're making my nose bleed!!! 😊
Hahahahaha
Yup, that one too! 😂
Us Finns can relate very well to you on this "one word for genders", as we have only one word as well, "hän". Simple and effective.
Very enjoyable Pea
You are absolutely crazy! I love your content. Your humor is great! Your information is very educational and entertaining, and your humor can be completely out there! Very BOLD! (Your meaning). Thank you for your videos, Pea.
i miss u baby
She tries so hard, love the content pea!!!
The word that most guys wish they didn't know the meaning of is "TAMPO!"
That's not true. When dating a Filipina, "Tampo" is a part of a Filipina's charm. My Fiance has been used "Tampo" with me ... because she would rather be "silent" than to EVER say or do something she might regret later.
After the several relationships I have had in my life with filipinas, I can tell you I've only ever heard one of those terms actually used in a sentence. But thank you again for all the information and I will be sure to understand it a lot better when it ever comes up in conversation.
How to ask the girl out to get them Starbucks or to buy you some KFC
No problem, just ask us, and 90% of the time the answer will be yes 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea Better odds with Jollibee than KFC?
I’m adding these words to my “ Philippine dictionary “ prior to my arrival. Sounds like another fun challenge between cultures, I can’t wait to laugh at myself and my ass off….!!! ‘Can’t wait for an open Pl. Thanx Pea..!!!
Why dont you apply for a cabin crew at airlines & travel the world while keep doing youtube videos..just try
That would be great!! 👍😂
Really looking forward to getting over in November
Ok. I don't have a partner in The Philippines but I have a bestie and a lot of friends. This helps me a lot!
Spot on lol, I recall a time when my then girlfriend (now my wife) was recalling an incident involving her friend. It began as he, transformed into she, but involved one person. Confusing? You bet. Another time, I made dinner on one of the rare occasions when I get motivated to cook. I made pork chops with mashed potatoes and steamed corn.
I called her into the dining room to sit down and eat but as she sat down she looked at me and asked me where was the pork. Incredulous, I replied that it was on her plate. She stared at me as if I was an alien and said, no it wasn't. She thought I was crazy.
After going back and forth (as in "who's on first"), she got up out of frustration, stormed off to the kitchen and returned with a fork in her hand. I had apparently forgotten to bring out the cutlery...
The funniest occasion occurred when we were driving to her cousins house. It was my first time going there and as we approached her street, I asked which side her house was on. Dead silence... I turned to ask her again and she had this look on her face where I assumed she wanted a kiss.
I slowed down and gave her a quick peck on the cheek but she got all animated, calling me crazy. She continued: "What are you doing? If my cousin sees she's gonna think I'm so liberated? OMG!" Rather stunned, I tell, why were you sticking out your lips? I thought you wanted a kiss! She then shouts "NO! Are you crazy? I'm showing you where her house is!!!" ...and so began my Filipino immersion crash course education. 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha
Your channel blew up. Congrats
Thank you Sweet Pea. Making me smile again during my lunch break x. You asked what we were doing when you posted your videos
My wife will often say "I pee yet" before going out, meaning she wants to go to the CR right away. I realized why after learning the word "pa". I certainly feel "kilig", I don't look at small children who don't know me because I might give them "usog", and I'm glad that my wife is usually not "tampo"! "Might that is his husband", "Her wife is not here", and "I did not sawed it yet" are some of the things I've heard my wife say. However, the best one, my real favorite is "We doesn't know what we doesn't know"! By that she means something like "We shouldn't worry about what might happen". If she has been unwell, but then feels better, she will say "It's not my calling yet", meaning she hasn't had the call from the Lord to go to Heaven! Because we speak Cebuano, for "Kinda" or "something like" we will say "murag".
Hey Squeaky, Love Tagalog and Bisaya; Love These Kinds of Episodes ~
Mahal Kita, Mahal Ko ~
Hi Pea, I really love the skits with the different outfits! The Genie outfit reminds me of the old show 'I Dream of Jeannie'. And you in the outfit made ME dream of genie!!! Love the vids and you're really teaching me a lot so that I may be prepared for my PASSPORT adventure! Thanks for all that you do! 😎
Great video “sweet Pea”. On top of the informative words you present here which is very helpful, everyone is referenced as a “he” regardless of gender, otherwise known as “heshe”. Also , great “ I dream of Jeannie” skit. Keep up the good work Pea!
