Who heard the "Sorry Song" before? I heard people say he had a bad accent.

but he gets an A+ for trying

'Filipino' is Tagalog that incorporates slang and English words. Authentic Tagalog has very few foreign loan words used in it, thus we differentiate between 'Tagalog' and 'Filipino.'

What?! I thought Filipino can be any dialect. Bisayan, Cebuano, Chavacano, Tagalog

i tihnk someone on AF explained that filipino is the national language, which incorporates spanish and english into the tagalog language. the tagalog language was used as the base of the naitonal language because that is the language that is spoken in the NCR.


EDIT: i d/led it. this is bad. the way he's pronouncing I and U is weird. it doesn't match with the filipino accent.


btw, in filipino music, is the glottal stop used?

glottal stop as in:
basa--> read
baSA--> wet

EDIT2: btw i think the reason his I's and U's sound weird is because in filipino, the I sounds VERY close to an E and are sometimes used interchangealby, same with U and O.

Ohh, right. I get it now.

I don't listen to Filipino music nowadays, but I reckon they use those glottal stops. It totally alters the entire meaning if you don't implement it. I don't blame him though. His first language ain't Tagalog. I'm sure we all started somewhere (for those whose first language isn't English...like me ).
