The One With the funny Ilonggo Words

so my relatives and I were talking and we couldn't stop laughing thinking how ilonggo words can be so funny and complicated.

anyways.. here's one.. in tagalog.. when you punch someone in the face.. you only say "suntukin or sampalin kita dyan eh"

but in ilonggo.. there are..

1. hamakan ta ka da karon
2. pakdulon
3. tuk-apan
4. batteran
5. kadulon
6. tampa-on
7. sumbagon
8. kagison

and cry in tagalog is simply "iyak"
in ilonggo:

1. hibi
2. hurangab
3. wawaw
4. tyabaw
5. tangis (tnx sir glenn!)


:D
