| In communicating with my Spanish-speaking Colombian sister-in-law, I've
come
| to realize a lot of Spanish words have morphed to totally different
meanings
| in Tagalog. To wit:
|
|
| Spanish Tagalog
| Siempre Always Of course
| Seguro Of course Maybe
| Izquierdo Left Disappear
| Derecho Right Straight
| La mierda *** Leisurely trip
| Querida Beloved Mistress
| Mama sita Beautiful woman Fat, old, ugly woman
|
| The last one, my SIL wouldn't believe it until I showed her the picture on
| the packet of Mama Sita sinigang mix. LOL!!
