Understanding Filipino expressions

If the world have evolution and changes,so as the words that we used too are changing.Actually,I don't understand it somehow,hehe when I heard it with my kids and young friends around,so I'm 30's already and we didn't used some words that they say when I was in my young age.I will just write the way I understand it but you can a comment below if I am wrong.(correct me if I'm wrong)

Here's the following words that I heard and see on comments section with online platforms:

1.Awit

Literally,awit is a tagalog word means kanya or song in english,but in my surprise hehe,(because I'm kind of late bloomer)nowadays when the mellenials used this one,is pertaining to "painful" response,it's seems like "aw(ouch)and connects with "it",that's why they say,awit.I also see it,even in Noise.cash platform with some comments there.Now I know.

2.Hakdog

Supposed to be,is it a hotdog?But they changed it to "hakdog",I heard this from my kids to say this when his younger didn't heard what he said,he will say ha,hakdog.They didn't say ha anymore,but they will say,hakdog.And my daughter will get mad when her brother respond this words to her,so there's a fight at home after.

3.Lods

Hello mga Lods!I often heard this on vlog in youtube ,they used this word when they greet their followers online,most of the time boys are using this word.It is a other term for the word "idol".Idol is often used with some celebrity if some people will idolize them they will call it that way.But now they will used this word even if a person is not a celebrity or famous at all.

4.XD

This kind of expression confused me when I first read this in Noise cash from one of the user.And I asked him what does it mean,because I never been heard this before and he explained to me.X is an emoticon which means closed eyes while D is an open mouth.Hehe,I can't imagine that there are two letters used in expression today.

Common filipino expressions

1.Bahala na

We often used this word in every conversation.For example,(Bahala na,I will get the vaccine because I need it in my work),it's a sort of accepting whatever the outcome after getting the vaccine.Its an expression of whatever happens I will go for it.

2.Juskolord

My daughter used to say this more often because she imitate this word from the vlog that she's watching online.But I didn't totally agree with this word to be used as an expression because the word "Lord",is holy and it's should not be used as a joke only.

I don't know if God will joke,but one thing for sure,if we will used his name we should say it by heart.

3.Gud/jud

These words are bisaya word,it's pronounce hardly,just like(kana gud oh!),bisaya tone seems like angry.For me it means,"it is,what it is".

4.Bet na bet

This word bet,means to me "I like,that's what I like".Instead of saying,I like you,they used to say ,"Bet na kita".I often heard this word with my gay friends,I don't know if they are the one who start using this one.

5.Chibugan na

"Let's eat",or chibugan na.I don't know how come chibug becomes a word used to describe with eating.

6.Sana all

I think this is the famous expression that has been trend online,and I even read a lot of posts and articles here about this word.Even some foreign people have already used this one.

This expression has positive and negative side when we used this one.

And i think it will be famous again this Christmas Day,when some people will give gifts ,and those who cannot receive will say, Sana all(sana means,hoping).

But on the other side it can be used as an expression of enviousness, just like when the neighborhood bought a new flat screen tv,and someone will say,"sana all",and it can focused to himself,that he/she don't have it already.This word is usually utterred when a person can see something's new which refers to materials things online ,beautiful faces,body,adventure posts,and good looks.Don't you think it will affect our self esteem and can lead to self pity.

I will say sana all,with regards to good health,safety,and peaceful life.I will be very careful upon using this words Believing that words has power that will affect our mindset and drive to pursue our daily journey

Filipinos have different words to be used to express their parents,maybe some of the parents like me couldn't understand sometimes but I'm trying to relate with young people nowadays and not to judge them.

Of course ,as the years and days passed they are getting more upgraded not only with technology ,in knowledge and style.

As long as,it will not conveyed bad words and meaning to their colleagues ,friends and family ,I will allow them say it,but if it will just cause trouble and hurt other people,I think that will not be allowable in our home.

Stay safe

This words are often used nowadays when the pandemic have started It's a positive way of response,which show a moral support to your family when going to work,outside to be safe It means to be careful ,with whom you talk around and touch,always be careful and maintain good health practices.

There are a lot of filipino expressions that are not listed here.Different cultures and traditions and also with lots of new expressions that rises this time,I just hope that we will not forget and lost the most valuable word in life,"faith,hope and love,"these three last forever,season or out of season.Never forget to always say "salamat Po(thank you)","ingat po kayo(careful)",to show you care.

My end thoughts

Even if then word changes and reinvented ,never despise to be polite by using the word "po and opo",that's what filipinos are,even if we adapt to the new words in social media.

Okay,I end it here.Its gonna be a busy day for me,because it's Saturday.I hope to be productive today,and handle stress properly.

I thank you all for patiently reading my posts,hope your all fine.

Salamat.
