I'm sorry but this is incorrect. It's /u-bè/ or /oo-beh/ not /ooo-bay/.
It's the "be" in "best". You don't say it as /bayst/.
#Google stop promoting misinformation. 🤣🤪

Itigil na natin ang paggamit ng "shear line" sa pag-ulat ng panahon. Ano bang salita ang pwedeng ipalit dyan?

The "English (Philippines)" (code: en-PH) #language for #TiddlyWiki is now available. I'm still working on the "Filipino" (code: fil) #translation & sadly is currently on-hold.

I've talked a lot about Philippine English, and gave a few examples. Here's another example, but before that some context.
Philippine English is a real and recognized variant of English in the same level as American, Australian, and British English. In fact, it is a combination of those 3 variants with influences from the 200+ Philippine languages and dialects.
It is not:
1. Taglish / Englog (it's code-mixing not a language)
2. Singlish (although it is being discussed to recognize as an English variant on its own right)
3. Kinglish / Konglish (it is actually a subset of the Korean language)Now, for the latest example.
As mentioned previously, in Philippine English, all spellings are valid. You can mix British, Australian, and American spellings in a single sentence, and it's fine.
That meant words like "color" and "colour" (both are common) mean the same thing. Or, "organisation" and "organization" (we use the latter more).
But there are some that took a life on its own. In a previous post, I mentioned how we use "center" vs "centre". Today, let's talk about "theatre" vs "theater".
When we write "theatre", we generally refer to stage plays in a theater. And a "theater" generally refers to the building/place where you watch something, like a theatre play or a movie.
It's easier to follow than "center" vs "centre", right?
* Theatre: a stage play; stage acting
* Theater: the building/place where you watch somethingHow about the pronunciation? The same. 😁 Although you'll probably randomly hear some say it as "thea-tre" instead of "thea-ter". It was influenced by the Spanish/Filipino word "teatro". It's not common, but you might hear it.
These two different usage of the two spellings is older than I am. By the time I was born (1982) it already is that way.
Two different spellings, the same pronunciation, but with different meanings.

Filipino Word of the Day!
* asawa (genderless): spouse, husband, wife
* kabiyak (genderless): other half, significant other; deeper and more romantic version of “asawa”If you want to literally translate “husband”, it is “asawang lalaki”; or “wife”, it's “asawang babae”; although it's rarely used/formed that way unless the context demands this level clarity.
Also, be careful pronouncing “asawang lalaki/babae", otherwise it might sound “aswang” which means “monster”, “ugly”, “scary”.

Use in a sentence!
Roberto: Ito nga pala ang aking pinakamamahal na kabiyak, si Lala. (This my lovely significant half, Lala.)
Lala (using higher level of speech politeness and formality): Kumusta sa inyo. Ako si Lala, ang butihing asawa ni Roberto. (How do you do. I am Lala, the good wife of Roberto.)

CW: Why is “barangay” pronounced as “ba·rang·gay” and not “ba·ra·ngay”?
If we go farther back in time.
ᜊᜍᜅ᜔ᜄᜌ᜔ (ba·ra·ng·ga·y) was originally ᜊᜎᜅᜌ᜔ (ba·la·nga·y). A “balangay” was a pre-colonial “Filipino” ship design (it can be small or huge) that can traverse the open seas. One such was the historical first voyage of pre-colonial “Filipinos” to China during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279). (See: https://www.asj.upd.edu.ph/mediabox/archive/ASJ-21-1983/scott.pdf )
Before the South China Sea and West Philippine Sea escalation, there was an annual “balangay” voyage from the Philippines to China.
In conclusion:
* ᜊᜎᜅᜌ᜔ (ba·la·ngay) => ᜊᜍᜅ᜔ᜄᜌ᜔ (ba·rang·gay) => baranggay => barang̃ay > barangay

CW: Why is “barangay” pronounced as “ba·rang·gay” and not “ba·ra·ngay”?
If you visit the Philippines, you'll more likely encounter people say, “barangay”.
A “barangay” is the smallest political unit in the Philippines.
a. City > Districts > Zones > Barangays; or
b. City > Districts > BarangaysThe closest in American context is a “town”. A gated village or subdivision is usually considered a separate barangay as well (but there are cases where it is not if the village/subdivision is too big to be a single “barangay”).
How do you pronounce the word “barangay”?
How do you pronounce the word “barangay”?
A. ba·ra·ngay
B. ba·rang·gayIf you chose A, because the Filipino language is syllabic, it is wrong, the correct answer is B.
The modern Latin-based spelling of “barangay” is the shortened form based on current Filipino language rules. Originally, it was written like so: “barang̃ay”, a tilde above the letter ‘g’. It was to signify to the reader that the pronunciation is actually “ba·rang·gay”.
There are actually two letters: “ng” and “g”, hence “ng̃” (with a tilde).
Prior to writing it with a tilde, it was originally written as “baranggay”. Which in the Philippines' native script called “Baybayin” or “Suyat” (both umbrella terms), it was written as “ba” + “ra” + “ng” + “ga” + ”y” (one syllable is one letter in Baybayin/Suyat script).
* ᜊᜍᜅ᜔ᜄᜌ᜔ = baranggay = barang̃ay = barangay
That is why “barangay” is pronounced as “ba·rang·gay” not “ba·ra·ngay”.
