SalamatAgyamanakThank youBuilt on the root 'yaman' with the ag- verb prefix and -ak 'I'. It is a full sentence, unlike Tagalog 'salamat'.
Maraming salamatpending reviewAgyamanak iti kasta unayThank you very much
Walang anumanAwan ti anyaman naYou're welcomeIlocano 'awan' and Tagalog 'wala' are the matching negative-existential words — 'there is none'. The two phrases are structurally identical.
PakiusapPangngaasimPleaseSources give both 'Pangngaasi' and 'Pangngaasim'; the -m is the second-person suffix, so 'pangngaasim' is 'your kindness'.
Patawarin mo akoPakawanennakForgive me / I'm sorry
Pasensya naDispensarennakExcuse me / pardon meBoth languages took this from Spanish 'dispensar'.
Mawalang-galang poPakawanennakExcuse me (getting someone's attention)Ilocano uses the same word for apologising and for getting attention; Tagalog splits them — 'Patawarin mo ako' to apologise, 'Mawalang-galang po' to interrupt politely. In speech most Tagalog speakers just say 'Excuse me po'.

HindiHaanNo'Saan' is the equally common Ilocano variant. Note the trap: Ilocano 'saan' also means 'where', and Tagalog 'saan' means only 'where'.
