- I love to translate "oh sige" as "alright bet" in my captions. I asked both of my grandma's what they think the phrase means in english.

As a Filipino, yes this is very true that “oh sige” means a lot of different things but mainly, it means ok or sure. Basically to agree upon something. It may vary in different in different convos. (ex. When you’re saying bye to someone you end your sentence with “oh sige” basically now you’re saying bye for now.)
Being a kapangpanga; half cause I have another dialect. You are right. Agreeing to something,
@@eileentolentino1335I’m fluent Tagalog and I understand what it means but it can change when you’re speaking in a different convo.
Yes, the simplest meaning is
SIGE = OK / SURE
@@odyodyody3242 👍
But when we’re talking to a friend/family or another Filipino on the phone and about to end the conversation we always say “o sige before we say ok, bye”😂
Loved the way grandma said "come onnn" that was so adorable 😂❤Love your grandmas!
It made me think of a meme video of "the worlds first white black man" lol if you happen to have seen that
Funny to me how people have joked about you translating it to "alright bet". I'm Swedish, I speak a lot of English and I've dabbled in learning Norwegian, Finnish, French and Spanish. Translations change over time, just like the meaning of words. We'd never question a translation that says "listen up" and ask why it doesn't say "hear ye, hear ye." You know? Although at some point someone probably did
Thank you to the commenters who explained what "alright bet" means. So I got to learn two phrases today, oh sige and alright bet!
Chris, I love watching you and Grandma, especially how you take care of her so lovingly and respectfully. Much love.
I am looking for the meaning of "alright bet" myself.😂😂😂
@@CruzSanchezRipait’s kind of like, okay, I will do that
It’s used by people my age but half the time I don’t understand them
Your Grandmas are precious treasures. You are so blessed to have them in your life and they are both so blessed to have such a wonderful loving grandson. God Bless you all.
👏PRECIOUS👏TREASURES👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your respectful interactions with your family has had a great impact on me. I’ve started cooking dinner for my father multiple times a week and I’m trying to help him more. I have a talent for cooking so it’s only right I help him stay healthy. Thank you for your videos. Love your grandmas!!
Awesome!
I bet he appreciates your cooking very much!
Good job! 🍽️☕💕
he most definitely does thank you!@@OceanSwimmer
When I’m stuttering I’m going to start saying, “Oh sige” in honor of both of your grandmothers, Chris! I get so upset with myself when I can’t get the right words to come out but I can sure use this Filipino phrase to bolster myself up so that I can say the right words that I’m looking for!
Tank you, Grrrrrandma and Grrrrrandma - I will draw my words out with your beauty, grace, kindness, strength, and wisdom 🌹 🌹
And tank you, Chrrrrris! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have this phrase in my pocket wherever I go. Stay strong! 😊
Oh sige! 😅
@@odyodyody3242
Oh sige! 😎
I'll take Grandma's old school "Come on" meaning any day of the week. =) You gotta love your elders & their wealth of knowledge. They are our genuine "walking, talking, living history books". =)
I just think of all the times my mom has used ‘sige’ on me when I was growing up.
O sige = Ok. sure.
O sige = Let’s go. Or, go ahead.
Sige (when I’m about to do something stupid.) = Go ahead. I dare you.
Sige (after I just did something stupid.) = Go do it, again.
I’m sure I drove my mom crazy with all my shenanigans…😂
i am also filipino and can confirm this!! love you chris and lola's!!!
Grandma is still going strong with her languages! 🤗
I am hearing Spanish in the conversations also .
😇🙏
Yes, it sounds like "oh sige/sigue" from the spanish word "seguir" which means "to continue".
Love to both your Grandmas!
🙏💐💞
"come on!!" So cute!
I’d love to see you more Filipino tutorials! I’ve been trying to spell “ee-kah” to look up the translation 😩😂
ikaw?
Not ee-kah,its (ikaw)meaning (you)in english.🇵🇭
they're speaking kapampangan so they're saying "ika" which means "you"
@@aint.responsible alam ko po.kc dto sa bahay kausap ko palagi kapampangan.naiintindihan ko po ang lahat.salamat sa iyo.
IKAW (ee-cow) = YOU
O sige means you both agreed of something together.
Hugs and kisses to both of you!!
It's wild hearing you and your grandmas speak and just how proximal to spanish some words sound.
As for sige (sigue in my Boricua household) it means ok, follow along, come on/come with me, and/or continue! (as in "go ahead and carry on" usually in an affirmative celebratory sense). Much love to you and your Lolas/Wellas/Abuelas Chris!
I’m half Chinese & half Puertorican & I remember my Abuelita saying “Pero sigue!” in that same tone & meaning too. I love that some things can have such international translations. 🥰
That's exactly how we use it in Filipino! But we don't use it exclusively in an affirmative celebratory sense like you mentioned. We also use it passively to go along with someone or simply agree with them.
Kids these days shorten it to "geh" or "g" lol
When I went to the PI and listened to my wife and her family speak I herd "Sige" a lot. I knew what yes and no was but some would say something and then another would reply "Sige" while shaking their head yes. So to me it seemed like they were saying "sure". Alight bet is the same thing to me as sure, just another way of saying yes.
In slang words, It could also mean... Alrighty, grandma!
I love the sound of your grandma's voice. She always sounds so welcoming and kind
Grandma just melts me. xDDD
Hug both grandmas on our behalf. :3
Love the way grandma say it❤ come on..😊 more so of saying OK for o sige but true it really depends… my thought even when not being asked 😅😂🇬🇧
Thank you, GRAND- ma's! Teach us more of your beautiful language!
I love to hear your language, it sounds so classy.
Thats so cool! Such an awesome language and such awesome people speaking it 😊
I always thought of it as “okay, go ahead” or “go on then…” I am Filipino, I don’t speak Tagalog unfortunately, but I understand it very well. Loved to translate some of it for people (if I’m able to!)
Edited to add: I definitely agree that “bet!” Is a good translation of it as well!! I thought it was so clever!!!
Grandma loves to teach others! It's so obvious ❤❤❤
Grandma's right...in Spanish it means " continue" or "go on". She's still sharp!😊
I love watching your channel. My Grandpa died on the 6th of this month, just two days before his 97th birthday. I miss him so much. Before he passed, it was a reminder to visit with him and have him tell his stories. Now it reminds me of his stories and the time I spent with him. I know you will treasure this time with her forever.
So sorry about the passing of your grandpa, may he and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in the eternal peace of heaven.
This is my new favorite of yours. Hearing Grandma say come onnnnn made me laugh 😂
Love your video's
Glad grandmother is well
You guys make my day. ❤❤
Mine too!♥️
"Oh, sigue!" en castellano significa _"... go on, continue..."_
Your grandma is just so adorable!!
You two are adorable❤
I'm so glad that you take care of your Grandma. I miss my Grandma.😢
These videos are so comforting to me 🥰
My mom always say that to her brothers,sisters and cousins during FaceTime. So when she says oh sige she's like "Oh okay"
Chris, I've watched quite a few videos of yours, and let me start by saying how respectful you are to both your grandmas. They are just a treasure for everyone. I wish more American young people would have the respect for their elders the way you do. Thank you for sharing them with us. I feel so blessed.
Awww grandma loved that ohhh come onnn 😂😂😂😂 just the cutest person ever ❤
I like alright bet too! Just funny when you have that as grandma’s words. 😂😂
"To me it means alright bet" 😂😂😭
Can you make a compilation of grandmas chuckles? Love ya bro ❤
That video would be a hit! I adore to see her giggling.
Bless you Chris and grandmas❤
Oh, my...makaisip yapa masalese y Apu ne. Sabi dapin partida ne i apu miras yang mahigit nobenta.
She was already BLESSED with long life with at least good state of mind. Maganaka ya kasi i Grandma.❤🙏
Wishing you to have more years to come grandma.🙏❤️
Chrisssssss loads of love to you MAN ❤❤❤
Awwww her sweet little voice ❤
Chris, You are an amazing care giver. You put so much love and hart along with sole. There are so many people in this world could learn from you. Thank-you from Cheryl Myers
❤INSIGHT❤ i love this very much ... thank you Chris thank you GRANDMAs ... Love frm BRUNEI ❤
I’m a 62 year old white gal, grew up in Mira Mesa San Diego California, love Philippines and the people, you are so kind and loving to your Grandma, I love her too! I took care of my mother in her 80,s it’s hard work! Hang in there, you’re doing an awesome job and she loves you so much!❤️
I love your videos bc I'm a kapampangan and it's my first time to see English speaking kapampangan
Grandma has to stay with us forever 😭 she’s so sweet and kind andddd adorable 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can we hear grandma talk more in english? Her saying come on is adorable😊 💕
Once a teacher, always a teacher! She gave 3 different explanations... WOW, grandma is amazing!!! Love you guys.😘 Chris, you are so very blessed with BOTH of your grandma's.
Chris, I find emotional rest when I listen to your videos
Grandma's definition of "oh sige" is gangster. Thats the same way I use it when I'm on an argument, verbal altercation, or just acting tough. 😂😂😂
Ok so what does "alright bet" mean? I love watching your videos. Your grandma is so precious and adorable. She's a true treasure!!
I'm with Chris when he says "Oh sige" translates to "alright bet" (to him at least) which is also a passive form of agreeing with someone. You can say it in place of 'sure', 'okay', 'let's go', 'go on'. Grandma used "come on" (let's go) since their generation uses this phrase to agree with someone (my own lola uses it too).
Personally, I don't use "alright bet", because gen Zs where I live use "g" and I hear it a lot more than "oh sige" or "alright bet".
I've always giggled when I read Grandma saying "alright bet". I always figured it was a loose translation but I love it just the same. Especially because I always say "bet" ☺️
Love your language lesson!
teach us more of your language. i only know about Tagalog and sometimes I hear a little Spanish when you speak to Grandma.
Come Onnn..both Grandma's are awesome!
We love, love, love our grandma pens🥰👍
I love these videos this is so awesome
i think its similar to "orale" in mexico
it can mean a lot of things but its just a positive reaction to what people are telling you
in the context of a friend asking to hang out a specific day or meet up somewhere you can reply with "orale"
and to me it means "alright bet"
yes, I think this is similar situation. good example.
She’s so cute I love her vibe
I always used cgi or cge (or sigi or sige) in Tagalog language, it means yes, okay, come on, confirming that I allow it whatever the context of the conversation. It's a common word that we used in the Philippines. I remember my chamorro colleague he also uses "cgi cgi or sigi sigi" when he's talking to a bunch of Filipinos.
Im Mexican and Puerto Rican for me it means, go ahead, or keep going. .
Grandma looking in the background, she so cute
Well everybody knows Grandma's always right!!🤣😂
May god bless you, Grandma, and your family ... lots of love from India ❤❤
Sigue in Spanish means continue ! Adorable Interactions with your Family ❤
Come on!❤❤❤ love it!
“come ooooonn” 🥺
I could see it as being like "gotcha"
Lovvvvvve you 4ever grandma
It’s the family engagement ❤❤❤
Come oonnnn!😂
Have a Beautiful Sunshine Day💞
Thanks I hear my mom and her friends say it 👍👍 i think it means to her "oh okay,
Oh sige.
SURE FINE.
GO FOR IT.
DO IT.
Yes, as a Filipino I'm agreeing with your other grandma that "oh sige" have several meanings depending on the context. Usually it means "Okay fine" but it can be threatening if you put it this way "Oh sige! Suntukan na lang" or in English it means "Come here, fight me!". So technically both of your grandmothers are right
‘oh sige’, particularly ‘sige’, is a respond of affirmation
For a long time I thought it meant “goodbye. See you later” or “I’m going now” because we always seem to say it when we are leaving someplace or hanging up the phone 😂😂
my grandmother passed away almost 3 years ago and i’m trying to learn what language she actually spoke to me as a child because it’s not exactly tagalog or ilonggo but like a mix or something different and the main thing i remember her saying to me (more so yelling at me) was “sige na!!!!!” and when i looked it up everyone says it’s “polite” like go ahead or “ok” but i was like she was NOT being polite about it to me as a kid lol so the second lola saying it was like “come on!” MAKES SO MUCH SENSE to me. and it made me tear up a bit bc once she said that i realized how diverse the filipino language is and now im convinced ill never know what full language she spoke hahahah but nevertheless this video was precious… makes me miss my lola terribly.
Cute naman ng pagkakasabi ni grandma ng come on 😅❤
Come onnnn Chris😅😅
Affirmative
For the elders in the house, what does, "alright, bet" mean? In English. Unless I'm at a casino, it doesn't translate into a response I'm familiar with. 🤔 just curious. Is it, "ok then" or "okie dokie"?
Yes
Im the same.. never heard of alright bet! But I get the idea.
Alrite bet = it’s a deal
Oh my god ilove your grsndma
Come ooonnnnn😂❤
I'm only half Filipino and I barely know any Tagalog or any other Filipino languages for that matter. But my mom always used "oh sige" in daily conversations and it's like an intuitive understanding that I have of that phrase that i cant even put into words
“Fine with me!”
It means so many things- i think it could mean “ok”, “alright sure” or “ok come on” “ok go”
My mother-in-law would say it to mean "come on hurry up!"
Hi! Where is Grandma from? Where did she teach? We speak the same dialect, and my Aunt was a grade school teacher too.
I agree it depends on a conversation. But all of those mentioned by you and your grandmas are correct. But yes "Alright, bet" Is the best translation for Gen Z lol. Nice Chris, how about a T-shirt merch with that saying 😁
"Alright bet" is actually the easiest way to remember it. It's a form or expression use for agreement.
I'm American, married to a Filipino in 1962.
"Sige na", I was told means "Go ahead" or similar to saying "See ya" when someone is leaving.
I've never heard "Alright Bet" in English.
Alright is used to refer to multiple applications, but, Alright Bet is unknown to this English major who will be 76 on Sept. 11, 2023.
❤❤❤
"it's okay" #mamasays 👍🏼
I know for a fact 💯 gma means aiight bet. Controversy is done. ❤
Sigue is derived from Spanish, from the verb seguir; it found its way into Filipino languages and Capampangan.
It means to continue.
