Magandang gabi! ^_____^ Happy weekend! Tonight on Learn Tagalog, let's say hi to these three word: * Buddy = Pare / p're / pre * Mare = the equivalent word of the word "buddy"or "pal," for ladies. * Mare and pare are also used between godparents and parents of a child. * Brother/sibling = Utol / 'tol / tol Examples: John: "Uy, kumusta tol?" (Hey, how are you brother?) June: "Mabuti.... mabuti tol." (Good....I'm good brother) John: "Last time nagkita tayo ay 4 years ago." (Last time we met was 4 years ago.) June: "Oo nga. Kumusta ka tol?" (Yeah. How are you brother?" John: "Mabuti rin. May asawa na ako tol." (I'm good too. I'm married now brother.) (Jeen and her husband John visiting their godchild) Jeen: "Hi mare. Kumusta na inaanak ko?" (Hi mare. How's my godchild?) Alice (the godchild's mom): "Nasa school pa mare." (She's still in school mare.) Alice: Meryenda muna kayo, pare at mare. (Have a snack first mare and pare.) Not only with close friends, pare is also used amongst males when speaking with strangers. (At the bus station) Jim: "Excuse me, pare." (Excuse me buddy) Albert: "Yes, pre?" (Yes buddy?) Jim: "Saan ang banyo dito?" (Where's the restroom here?) Albert: "Doon" (There) Jim: "Salamat pre" (Thanks buddy)
