soup is sabaw? i thought it was soupas?

soup is sofas, but it's a specific kind.

sabaw techinically is broth.

really? I thought it meant soup as in soup based...yeah thats what I thought sabaw is the broth or the "liquid"..

hmm, that's odd. i always knew dog as "irot" and cat as "iring"

i think the romanization spellings i did were wrong but the first i has a long e sound

is that even tagalog??

yo what language is that? haha
must be a language other than tagalog

and sabaw is broth...that is correct.

those are visayan terms buddy

dog = iro
cat = iring

arrozcaldo... what does caldo mean? arroz is rice in Spanish.
Since I cant speak it, i just say liquid rice!

Arrozcaldo is Spanish, which means 'rice broth'

LOL! soup - sopas, sabaw = could also mean broth and gravvy - laugh

well the thread starter asked for translations, didn't specify language!

btw, you speak visayan?

my bad. we never use the word sopas in my house.

You weren't wrong. It's just that some Filipino terms cover a bunch of meaning, even some nouns moonlighting as a verb!

that's why it's nice that we can use words from 3 different languages. heheh. sopas it is.

nahh.. soup is "sopas"

the "sabaw" term is filipino for "broth"

dog = edo [hiligaynon]; iro [cebuano]; ayam [waray, karay-a]

cat = kuding [karay-a]; koring [ilongo, iloilo city]; iring [cebuano]; misay [leytenhon]; uding [samarnon]; miya [surigaonon]

serpent = man-og [hiligaynon]; bitin [cebuano]; halas [waray]; ahas [tagalog]

ant = subay [hiligaynon]; migas [cebuano]; tubak [waray]; langgam [tagalog]

bird = pispis [hiligaynon]; langgam [cebuano]; tamsi [waray]; ibon [tagalog]

cockroach = tang-nga [hiligaynon]; ok-ok [cebuano]; bangka [waray]; ipis [tagalog]

cold = mabugnaw [hiligaynon]; bugnaw/tugnaw [cebuano]; mahagkot [leytenhon]; mataghum/mahagnaw [samarnon]; malamig [tagalog]

if you want more.. i\'l share more next time... basta bisaya lang way blema, sa surigaonon medyo naglisud lang ko kay maulaw man gud ko sigig pangutanan sa atong mga surigaonon na migo/miga. kung naay surigaonon dri palihog nalang ug sumpay para makakat-on pud ta sa inyo sinultian dha.
