"loaf of bread"
"tasty"

I CAN'T LMAO

[blaihigueras]

"Open the light" and "close the light" is said in the Philippines because it was once a Spanish Colony, and in Spanish we say "Abre la luz" and "Cierra la luz", and the people from there just translated directly from Spanish to English.

For what I know when you say brown out it only applies to few areas while blackout is all.... Example there's a brown out in Manila they'll just be saying the areas in Manila that will be experiencing no electricity, but when they say black out it says that the whole Manila will have no electricity....🙂✌️

[Shualiksik]

tangina. "Tasty" for "bread" is hella accurate 🤣

[lisareyes]

Bahaha this accurate. A friend of mine caught me saying “open the light” and he was like “you mean turn on the light 🤣🤣🤣”

[vernonh]

USA: "I'm on my way"
PH: "OTW"

You two are an adorable married couple. Congratulations, guys.

[phillyguy]

Dude, you still have that Filipino accent. Accept it.

[kmgonzales]

He speaks like a typical Filipino who has never been to US. Nothing wrong with it, though. They're a really cute couple.

[HamburJer_Videos]

tasty/tastee is actually a brand name. Filipinos of the past usually mentions/calls things by their brand name or maker's name and not the generic name. like refrigerator, we call it ref, but in the past its called Prijider from the brand name Frigidaire.

i remember when i was younger that I used those Pinoy terms such as MC do and no one knew what I was talking about lol

[genecahshimronepike]

Im filipino-american (mestiza) and I dont agree with the both of them at 2:17 in Cebu Philippines, we say "take out" and I never hear "take home" being used. Here in the US and in my experience, "to go" is used more often than take out, I dont even remember anyone saying take out, I always hear "for here or for to go?" everything else in this video is completely relatable (especially brown out/black out lol) and thank you for posting this video.

In Nigeria they say
Slippers
Biscuit
Aircon
Toilet roll (tissue)
Secondary school (High school)
Maclean (tooth paste)
many others.

I love this and I'm starting to understand my own culture even better now. As old school Filipinos, there wasn't much of a variety for certain items. So, like for the toothpaste example: they're used to only be 1-2 brands of a certain item.
And even when there was several different brands the most common and most accessible brand would take precedence as becoming that particular item. I don't know whether Colgate or Close- up came first but I totally understand that scenario because that's literally what I grew up with and my mother did as well. Even in my middle age now, I can sometimes see how my mother and I would argue as a kid when I wouldn't understand certain things that she was referring to.

2:18 I've only ever heard of people say "take out" here in the Philippines...
3:45 We do also say "Isarado mo yung ilaw" (a direct translation of "close the lights") though, just, sometimes...
4:56 We do say Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, and Grade 10 forJunior High School, and Grade 11 and Grade 12 for Senior High School. DepEd has moved to the K-12 system for a while now...
