English term or phrase: pag nambabae ka papaluin kita sa pwet
My very good friend in pampanga wrote this to me, I kinda worked out some of it, but the online dictionary i use had nothing for nambabae (I think it's to do with female, or woman/girl) and also papaluin, again I can't find a reference to this word.

another thing is the use of "kita", I'd like to know about this word, i get the impression it's a versatile word!


by the way, I'm english, and very intrested in learning tagalog. thanks in advance for you're help!

"Papaluin" means "will spank." The root word is "palo" (spank, whip, whack).
