Same language family that's why it has some similarities The Austronesian languages (/ˌɔːstrəˈniːʒən/) are a language family widely spoken throughout Maritime Southeast Asia, Madagascar, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and Taiwan (by Taiwanese indigenous peoples). There are also a number of speakers in continental Asia.[1] They are spoken by about 386 million people (4.9% of the world population). This makes it the fifth-largest language family by number of speakers. Major Austronesian languages include Malay (around 250-270 million in Indonesia alone in its own literary standard named "Indonesian"), Javanese, and Tagalog (Filipino). According to some estimates, the family contains 1,257 languages, which is the second most of any language family.[2]
back in the day, Filipinos would use "sinta" instead of mahal (love). so it is similar to the bahasa cinta. so when you say "i love you", if you want to use traditional translation, you can say "sinisinta kita". but these days we commonly use "mahal kita".
Thank you for the Information Michael, I just know that "Cinta" in Tagalog "Sinta" so it similar to Bahasa Indonesia ya 😊 Btw "Sinta" in Indonesia usually use for Girl Name.
Tagalog is one of the official languages of the Philippines. I am from Bicol Region of the Philippines, we speak Bicol. So here's my answer: 1. Ilong - Dungo 2. Sandata - Armas 3. Bayad - Bayad 4. Mura - Barato 5. Apat - Quatro/Apat 6. Dahon - Dahon 7. Laot - Dagat/Laot 8. Pulo - Isla/Pulo 9. Bato - Gapo 10. Tamis - Hamis 11. Mahal - Mahal (expensive) 12. Taon - Años/Taon 13. Tainga - Talinga 14. Kuko - Kuko 15. Ulan - Uran 16. Sabon - Sabon 17. Suso - Suso (breasts/drinking milk) 18. Itim - Itum 19. Sulat - Surat 20. Matay - Gadan (dead person)
Patay - dead/die Mamatay- to die Namatay-died Pinatay-killed Pinapatay-being killed There is no word matay...its root word is patay....In Sambal we also use mati (die)
Original Language Of The Philippines Is “Hebrew Language”, Since King Solomon Era 1000 BC. And “OPHIR”: Original Name Of The Philippines. During 900 A.D. through Majapahit Empire 12th to 13th Century Era had already contact the Ophirian(Filipino) to Indonesia(Java) people during those times. Afterwards we’re borrowed Indonesian(Javanese) & Old Malay Languages, and it becomes “Tagalog Language” of OPHIRIAN(Filipino) since then. Unnoticeable our Tagalog Language has “Obscure Hebrew Language” for over 1000 words & phrases we using those Tagalog Speakers, included 300 words and phrases of Sanskrit Language as a common usages & mixed with Javanese(Javan) & Old Malay Languages.✍️✍️✍️👅👅👅⭐️⭐️⭐️🇵🇭🌴❤️
Filipino is the official language of the country which is mostly based in Tagalog. But that doesn't make Tagalog as the official language hence, the difference. By the way, in our Meranao (Bangsamoro {Filipino Muslim}) language, the following are our terms for those words: 1. ILONG - NGIRONG 2. SANDATA - SANDIYATA 3. BAYAD - BAYAD 4. MURA - MAYTO I ARGA 5. APAT - PAT 6. DAHON - RA'ON 7. LAOT - RAGAT (Dagat in Tagalog as well) 8. PULO - PULO 9. BATO - ATOR/WATU/WATOR 10. TAMIS - MAMIS 11. MAHAL - MALAY ARGA 12. TAON - RAGON 13. TAINGA - TANGILA 14. KUKO - KANUKO 15. ULAN - URAN (Rain) 16. SABON - SABON 17. MAMATAY/PATAY - MATAY/MIYATAY 18. SUSO - SUSU (Snail/Breast) 19. SULAT - SURAT (Write) 20. ITIM - MAITEM (Black) See. We are indeed Austronesians.
Mahal without context is expensive, mahal kita is i love you. Sinisinta kita is i love you too, but sinta only means love, not expensive. Sinta is old tagalog and not very commonly used now.
Great to see your passion on studying Philippine culture and language. Tagalog is just one of them Just an FYI. Tagalog word sometimes has two meaning differ depending on a context. Mahal - expensive & love Mura - cheap & curse (bad words) Suso - snail & breast Kuko - is nails I just had fun watching this and hope u do more content like this. Will support u. We hope to learn bahasa indonesia too.
If i dont find it tagalog..its in visayas dialect or in any other region in the philippines..like you said irong is also irong in visayas region which also a nose..dua or duha which is no.2 or 2nd..God bless you always my brother..i love watching rural village cyling in indonesia..
Im a Hiligaynon speaker from the Philippines the word for the small finger in our hands is called "Kamalingking" I bet you have Bahasa word for that? Kelingking?
.....Philippines has 3 Major Or National Language...English Tagalog And Spanish...and 2 Major Dialect...Ilocano from the North Luzon and Bisayan from Visayas and Mindanao Region...several dialects are also spoken..Waray.Kapangpangan.Bicol.Etc...
Let me clarify... 1.) The national language of the Philippines is Filipino, as stated in the 1987 Constitution. 2.) Filipino and English are both official languages used in the Philippines. 3.) Spanish, which used to be the national language in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era, was relegated as an "optional" language alongside Arabic in the 1987 Constitution. 4.) Ilocano is NOT a dialect, it is one of the major languages in the Philippines. 5.) LANGUAGE is Tagalog, the DIALECTS are Manila, Bulacan, Batangas, Quezon, and Marinduque Tagalog.
Mahal has indeed two meanings. First is LOVE or it could also mean EXPENSIVE. In our Meranau langauage here in the Philippines, our term for expensive is MALAI ARGA. Two words, Mala (Big) and Arga (Worth or Value). we just put i or y as conjunction.
You might want to try to compare HILIGAYNON language w/ bahasa indonesia since there are more words that have same meaning - ini (ini), atop, dua, pulo (sepulu), balai, dalan (jalan), gatos (ratus)

Irung (Sundanese) is more similar with Ilong, as Sundanese, when he said 'Ilong' i knew the meaning right after he said it. And apat, in Sundanese is Opat.
According to our history. The group of people that first occupied the Philippine Island are Indonesian and Malaysian people and that’s the reason why we have similar words not all but most of it.
Wrong, the first people (recorded) was from the island of Formosa (Now Taiwan), then spreaded out across the Philippine archipelago all the way from Hawaii to Madagascar.

Laot is also used to refer as the deeper part of the ocean in Tagalog.
Sinta means my love,my dear in tagalog
wow indonesian bahasa is very close to Kapampangan.
Love in tagalog love and other meaning is sinta
In tagalog,mahal is love or high price to much higher price
