Family & people: Bikol phrases with Tagalog and English translations
BikolTagalogEnglish
Inapending reviewInaMotherKapampangan 'ima' is a mother; Ilocano 'ima' is a hand. Two Luzon languages a hundred kilometres apart, same three letters, nothing in common.
Amapending reviewAmaFather
Nanaypending reviewNanayMum
Tataypending reviewTatayDad
Akipending reviewAnakChild'Anak' is the offspring relationship in all eight; Bikol 'aki' is the exception and is a child in general.
Tugangpending reviewKapatidSiblingSix unrelated roots. Only Tagalog 'kapatid' and Kapampangan 'kapatad' match, and that is a loan rather than shared inheritance.
Lolapending reviewLolaGrandmother
Lolopending reviewLoloGrandfatherPangasinan 'laki' is a grandfather. In Tagalog, Cebuano and most of the rest, 'lalaki' is simply a man — close enough to mislead.
Katoodpending reviewKaibiganFriendEight languages, eight unrelated words. Kapampangan 'kaluguran' doubles as a term of affection, which is why 'Kaluguran daka' means 'I love you'.
Lalakipending reviewLalakiMan
Babayipending reviewBabaeWoman
Agompending reviewAsawaSpouse'Asawa' covers husband and wife alike in seven of the eight — the sex of the spouse is not marked. Bikol 'agom' is the odd one out.
Pangaranpending reviewPangalanName
Kataningpending reviewKapitbahayNeighbour
Umboypending reviewSanggolBaby
Tiyopending reviewTiyoUncle
Tiyapending reviewTiyaAunt
