| Pangasinan | Tagalog | English |
|---|---|---|
| Asopending review | Aso | DogFour unrelated words for the commonest domestic animal. Worth pairing with the Cebuano trap: 'aso' means smoke there, so the Tagalog word for dog is a real Cebuano word meaning something else entirely. |
| Pusapending review | Pusa | Cat |
| Duegpending review | Kalabaw | CarabaoThe national animal, and three of the eight have their own word for it — Ilocano nuang, Kapampangan damulag, Pangasinan dueg. |
| Kandingpending review | Kambing | Goat |
| Bakapending review | Baka | Cow |
| Kabayopending review | Kabayo | Horse |
| Ulegpending review | Ahas | SnakeFive unrelated words, and the one worth memorising before you need it. Ilocano and Pangasinan share 'uleg', which is unusual — the two rarely agree. |
| ayeppending review | hayop | Animal |
| kutopending review | kuto | Louse |
| bigespending review | uod | Worm |
| saklorpending review | sungay | Horn |
