The idea is Pinoy cultural literacy. These pages won't make you fluent or help you
win a Filipino game show. We are only attempting to reinforce who you are by
collecting kwan watered down by many a night at the call center.

 

Arranged according to our abakada, we know our little dictionary of sorts will always be kulang-kulang. A work in progress, join us in updating this book online with what's astig and what makes you asar.  Pardon the nose bleed!

•The LETTER Q•

The words we can think of that begin with this letter are Spanish words that are used sparingly now by a fading population of seniors. There are still a lot of proper nouns that begin with Q. We hope to include them in another volume.

  •  te quiero

     

     

    Que barbaridad! [keh bar´bar ee dad´] An expression used extensively by Spanish speaking matrons in the years gone by. Translation: how barbaric!

    Que tal? [keh tal´] How’s it going?

    Querido/a. [keh ree´doh/dah] A lover or a mistress.
     
    [Te] quiero. [teh´ kee yeh´roh] Spanish for I love you.
