Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Near the table

That's right, you put your bags and belongings near the table. It is similar to the Spanish word of table - 'mesa.'

Answer: Isda

Mmm, fish! No doubt bought from the nearby 'palengke,' or market. 'Baboy' is pork/pig, 'pusa' is cat and 'baka' is beef/cow. 'Baka,' as I have recently found out, is also Japanese for idiot. Baka baka!

Answer: Paper

Scribble away on your paper! 'Mongol' is a yellow pencil brand popular in the Philippines. They even teach it to you in elementary school! When people buy pencils, they don't ask for pencils, but for 'mongols.'

4. As you are drawing a house on the countryside, the little girl asks you to please pass the crayon that is colored 'asul.' What crayon is she asking you to give her?

Answer: the BLUE one

You give her the blue crayon so she can color in the sky. White is 'puti,' green is 'berde,' and black is 'itim.' Asul and berde is similar to the Spanish words of the same colors (azul, verde).

Answer: Keso

The most popular brand of cheese spread in the Philippines is, of course, Kraft. 'Quezon' is a city in Metro Manila, 'kahon' is box and 'kampana' is a bell, notably those big ones in church towers.

Answer: Ate

'Ate' (ah-teh) and 'kuya' (koo-yah) are what you say to an older sibling. 'Ate,' is for girls and 'kuya' is for boys. 'Tito and Tita' is for uncles and aunties. 'Kamusta' is also similar to "Como estas" in spanish.

7. As she enters the door, her pet 'pusa' rushes to her and rubs against her leg. What kind of animal is a 'pusa?'

Answer: Cat

Dog in Tagalog is 'aso,' rat or mouse is 'daga' and rabbit is 'kuneho.' Rats are vagrants and are abundant, along with cockroaches or 'ipis.'

Answer: Monday

This and all the other days of the week are similar to the ones in Spanish. Exceptions are spellings of some of them - the Filipino spellings tend to not have the accents on the vowels. The only other major difference is for "Sunday," it is 'Domingo' in Spanish and 'Linggo' in Tagalog.

Answer: Kanta

'Tulog' is sleep, and 'sayaw' is dance. You can certainly sing and dance at the same time, can't you? 'Aswang' is the equivalent of a vampire in english.

Answer: A fast-food restaurant chain based in the Philippines

Jollibee. Jolly bee. Get it? The mascot's a red and white bee wearing a chef's hat and always smiling. Jollibee is very popular in the Philippines, and dominates the Filipino fast-food market. They are like McDonalds, and specialize in their chicken, burgers and spaghetti. They have locations in overseas countries too, like the USA and Hong Kong.
