Filipino Or English

[D. Sanchez]

English...I always get high marks with it.

[skitz]

I used to write short stories in formal Filipino. I always get 1.0 in class for that. However, the only published short story I wrote was in English (got paid a whopping 300 Php for it, big incentive to find another means of livelihood... hehehehe). Most boring writing job I got (English) was for a newsletter published by the UN. It didn't matter that I was getting paid dollar-rate... I hated that job.

 

But for fun, I write in the vernacular. Taglish. Parang eraserheads. I write the way I talk. I don't even give a f#&k about syntax... at least on the first draft... it's more creative for me.

Pareho. I had to do this book report on Canal Dela Reyna for Filipino. hehehe

[pnoyako23]

FILIPINO...was the best

[id6230]

My attitute is "I want to learn all dialects,languages if possible".

[mamangkantutero]

I'm good in both. What I'm not good in is in Taglish...once I begin writing or saying something in English, I tend to end it in English; same thing if I did it in Filipino. But for some reason, I can't code-switch

Filipino is NON -EXISTENT when it comes to international level

[transienttina]

Loved English!

 

I had the best teachers in all my English classes. Guess it usually is the teachers who is the influence when it comes to enjoying a subject. The only thing I remembered about my Filipino classes were the strict teachers. hehe![/

english pag work-related and for most of my written communications (work or or lesiure). Walang kamatayang balagtasan pa rin sa pangaraw-araw na pamumuhay

Alam mo ba kung ilan ang Pilipino nagtratrabaho at naninirahan sa ibang bansa?

 

Where is your nationalism in terms of declaring that the Filipino language does not exist in the international scene? There is nothing wrong in being better in English but to tell the people in this forum that the Filipino language does not exist or irrelevant?

 

Do you hear the Prime Minister of China, Japan and the president of Russia and France speaking in English when making their speeches or comments whether it be in the international scene or domestic?

Hunos-dili lang katoto. :upside:

[joss]

english ang galing kasi ng teacher namin coming from the south... davao yata or cdo?

[neKnock]

Here's the thing. I write better English, but I'm more comfortable conversing in Filipino.

 

Pero kapag ako naglathala sa bernakular, magulat kayo at lumalalim ako.

Maybe what the poster meant is that "Filipino" is not recognized internationally. To them, Tagalog is the base language. I mean, browse through the internet. The foreign-based language sites say Tagalog, not Filipino.

 

As for me, it's just a matter of syntax. Po-tay-to... po-tah-to. Same banana to me.

I also agree in one post here that Visayans (that includes the scope of Cebuanos and Ilonggos) speak better English in general.

[cedric_errol]

i think sa english ako, pero magaling din naman ako sa fili nun.

[reimond]

kung english pag-uusapan

better ako when it comes to written communication

bad ako when it comes to oral communication, medyo mahina at delay magconstruct ng sentence

 

magaling ako sa filipino, sa pananalita man o sa pagsusulat

minsan nga lang bulol!
