As a filipino, something about hearing lily say "tag-a-log" disturbed somethin in me

[asdf-ghvd]

For people not getting it. Reeves said it's reasonable because "tagalog" was spoken with an American accent BUT the stressed part of the word was correct. Most foreigners who would have only read the word would definitely pronounce it the same way Lily did. A Filipino child raised abroad would definitely pronounce it the same way as the mystery guy.

The way the masked guy said "Tagalog" is how most rich kids raised in the posh villages and elite schools of Metro Manila would say it. Many of them actually know English more, or a kind of mishmash English-Filipino we sometimes calls "Conyolish" (or I don't know what the kids call it now). But, YES, it's a reasonable way a local from the Metro raised as a rich kid would say it. And the national language is Filipino. Tagalog is a regional language of that part of the Philippines which comprises Metro Manila, Bulacan, and the Southern Tagalog region.

Theres actually a decent amount of filipinos who are mostly english speakers and they sound like that

[alizaciara]

the stress on tagalog is the second syllable, the first and last syllable being short- tah • GAH • log.
all vowels open and in the back of your tongue.

Took me a minute for my buddy in the Philippines to teach me how to pronounce Tagalog lol

[bakedmomo]

"that was reasonable" for a michael reeves that also barely speaks tagalog 😂, it is indeed reasonable enough 🤣

[sleeplessmax]

Asians have a shared accent in the US 🤯🤯 that we can identify more accurately than chance. Would have just asked the dude to keep talking

[Max-ixlk]

As a non-asian
I don't understand anything going on, I'm just happy to be here

[jctagum]

For those even more confused, a good phonetic way to represent Tagalog is: Tah-gah-Luug

[dashingkangaroo]

Asking a group of people who cannot pronounce Tagalog properly if someone else said it properly.

Why the fuck are the comments so mean??? The hell happened??

[mr.thung]

As a filipino, I say Tag- a -log just for the reactions.

[BagOfCashews]

The sonic music hit me hard and out of no where, unleashed was such a good game.

[xaviercross]

The intonation is in the "ga"
Instead in the "ta"

This is not where I thought Daniel Radcliffe's career would end up

I’m Filipino but I don’t speak Tagalog. I was born in America and I used to say Tag a log.. disappointing I know..

[kirby]

I've never heard anyone say "Tag-a-log". Granted, I'm from Hawaii so maybe that's why. Is this a serious problem?

[Blitzkit]

His parents were probably PH but not him. Probably visited and were taught some ph words. Just because of how he pronounced tagalog :D

[JuanitoYeet]

I love saying tag a log bc I have a Filipino friend and it makes him mad😭😭
