One way to better communicate in Ilocano is to know how to ask directions.
If you happen to visit the Ilocos Region of the Philippines, you might find yourself asking where to find the bathroom or where is the next gas station.
This should help you with some of your needs when travelling there.
Ayanan na tay ________? (ah-yan-nah-tie)
- "Where is the ______.?"
- use this if you want to find something or a location
- banyu (bahn-yoo) bathroom
- paggasulinaan (pag-gah-soo-lee-nah-an) gas station
- bangku (bahng-koo) bank
- makan (mah-can) food
- kwarta (quar-tah) money
- "I'm looking for _______."
- names, things, etc.
- new words you can use:
- katulung (cah-tooh-luhng) maid
- mani (mah-knee) peanut
- lugan (loo-gun) car
- paltug (pal-toog) gun
More to come, just felt lazy after doing the second phrase.
Cheerz!
