peer agreement (net): +1How are you doing nene. If you thought you were the only one that knew how to speak another langua Explanation: language (ran out of room) Kumusta = How are you din = also kung = if akala = thought (assume) mo(ng is a linker)/ikaw = you lang = just ang = the (focus of the sentence) marunong = to know how (to be knowledgable) magsalita = to speak ng (object marker) iba(ng) = different/other ling = short for language Hope this helps.

nene Explanation: I forgot this part. I have heard that as slang. If this is not a nickname used for you (and it could be), it can also mean something like the English 'dude.' (I am from California, so any other slang equivalent can be used too :) |

just something to augment Erik's answer above: Explanation: "Nene": this word is used to affectionately call a younger girl or woman, particularly your daughter, niece or granddaughter...or even simply some girl you've encountered on the street and you really don't know personally but would like to address as "young one"...it's the counterpart of "nonoy", "totoy" or "boy", which is the direct equivalent of the monicker "son" that Americans use to affectionally call any young boy... So, Evelyn, please allow me to consolidate Erik's answer above (well, using my own version that is very similar to his translation): "How are you too, nene! If you think you are the only one who knows how to speak (or use) another language..." Hope our answers help. Please don't forget to return with your feedback :) Jake native Filipino and Tagalog speaker, resident of Manila since birth Moderator English>Tagalog |
