THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE




Learning the Filipino language is pretty fun and easy. It's a mix of native Filipino language and Spanish and English. Thus, if you know Filipino language, you can say that you know Spanish amd English as well.

Think about this. Filipino loves borrowing words from it's colonizers. So, almost all Filipino words for all things present from before 1900s are from the Spanish like kutsara, plato, banyo, radio, sobrero and many more. Thus for the new invented things on today's modern technology, Filipino borrows from the English language. Like the internet, cellphone, computer, and the likes.

All Filipino words for all things which came from Europe at the time when Philippines was under Spain are Spanish or a little modified Spanish.

Now, to show that the Filipino language is also evolving: Charoot has may meaning, Filipino use this word for almost everything in replacement for the vulgar words and unknown terms. But most of the time it means, “just kidding".

ROMAN EMPEROR: BEING NICE

Being an Emperor of a great big empire, requires attitude and ability! Would a nice person succeed as a Roman Emperor? The possibility is limited, as we can read throughout the history of the Roman Empire, few passed the requirements to be called “nice-person-successful-emperor”. I'm not saying it's not possible, but a leader must show aggressiveness in cases that needs seriousness and haste. Being a all-nice-person emperor, hmmm not that good enough. I'm saying an emperor of a great and big empire needs to master all attitude, to use each for different purpose and usage. Published: January 27, 2019
