Tagalog Introductions Episode 2
Episode 2 discussed common phrases used in making introductions.
In this episode we used the phrases
Ang pangalan ko ay _______ - This phrase is used to introduce one's self. It literally means, 'my name is.' So if your name is John and you want to introduce yourself in Tagalog, you can say 'Ang pangalan ko ay JOHN'.
Ako si _________ - This can be used to introduce yourself as well. It literally translates into 'I am' and is followed by a name. So if your name is John, then can say 'Ako si JOHN.'
Ano ang pangalan mo? - This inquiry is made when you want to ask for the name of the person you are conversing with. It translates into 'what is your name?'
**Pangalan - Name
Anong pangalan mo? - Filipinos often contract their words. As depicted on the left, the phrase means exactly the same as 'Ano ang pangalan mo?' except we merged the 'ano' and 'ang' words.
Ang pangalan niya ay _______ - This phrase is used to introduce your companion or any such person you can pinpoint. This is because the phrase literally means 'His/Her name is ______.' So if you are trying to introduce someone named JOHN, you would say, 'Ang pangalan niya ay JOHN.'

Tagalog Greetings Episode 1
Episode 1 discussed some basic Tagalog greetings that we thought Filipinos use often.
In this lesson, we talked about these particular words:
Kamusta / Kumusta - A common substitute for 'hi' or 'hello', although the literal translation of this word is 'How goes?'
Mabuti - This is a reply to the inquiry posed by 'Kamusta'. If you are feeling good or well and want to reply in Tagalog, 'Mabuti' is an apt response. It literally means 'well' or 'good'.
Magandang Umaga - These two words constitute the Tagalog translation of the English 'Good Morning'. The word 'maganda' literally means 'beautiful', while 'umaga' translates into morning.
Magandang Hapon - As we have learned previously, 'maganda' means beautiful. 'Hapon' simply means 'afternoon'.
Magandang Gabi - 'Gabi,' in turn, means 'night' or 'evening'.
Paalam - Goodbye
