Vocabulary/Terminology Whats the difference between âkamusta ka?â and âkamusta ang araw mo?â
Is there a difference between the formalities, or do they both ask the same question in any context?

Pansin ko na iba ang nakagisnan kong salita lalo na sa mga panghalip pamatlig kaysa standard, although di lahat ng taga amin ganiyan iilan na lang dahil di naman lahat sumusunod sa diyalekto. Sa mga nakaaalam kung ano kaibahan at gumagamit niyan, ano po ang kaibahan kapagka may Ha at Naha kasi parang magkatulad lang. Aywan ko lang pero yoong Naha parang may diin. Dagdag ko pa, yoong Ha pala parang hindi niya katumbas ang Na, mas katumbas niya ang Sa. Hilagang Tagalog po ang gamit ko specifically Bulacan.
Haan (variant. han)
Harini (variant. handini)
Hariyan (variant. handiyan)
Hayoon (variant. hayon)
Haroon (variant. handon)
Nahaan (variant. nahan)
Naharini (variant. nahandini)
Nahariyan (variant. nahandiyan)
Nahayoon (variant. nahayon)
Naharoon (variant. nahandon, naharon)

May alam kayo mga documents/literature na nagsimulang gamitin ang "mahal" sa halip na "sinta"?
Naghahanap ako ng date kung kailan nagsimula, wala ako makitang literature.

hi! pano niyo po sinasabi/ginagamit ang âfront doorâ in tagalog?
e.g.
(I replied as I closed the front door.)
Sagot ko habang sinasara ko ang harapang pinto ng bahay.
Does this sound ok/good and not awkward? Or is there a better way to say it?
Thank you in advance!

Kaya pala hindi nakakalito ang paggamit ng mga katagang Lamukot, lamukos, lamutak, o lamusak, dahil nariyan na rin ang ugat.
Lamukot(Lukot), Lamusak(Lusak), Lamutak(Lutak), Lamukos(Lukos), Lamuray(Luray).
Lamirat(Lirat)?
Lamikmik?
Mayroon pa ba kayong alam?
Anong tawag diyan? At saka sa mga katagang nag-uumpisa sa "L" lamang ba siya lumilitaw o Lam- talaga kabuuan ng panlapi niya mula sa "Lamas"?

Curious to know ano po favorite tagalog word niyo? Can be because the word is meaningful or pwede din just because it sounds nice but doesnât have a deep meaning.

Currently looking for Tagalog novels (circa 20th century onward) written in a similar style as Edgar Reyes' Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag and Amado Hernandez's Mga Ibong Mandaragit.
Basically any Tagalog work written in a non-standardized or regional style.
Sample dialogue from Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag (p. 3):
Napatigil ng pagkanta ang batibot na lalaki, napatingin sa kanila.
"Bakit?"
"'Yong kapatas daw n'yo."
"Si Mister Balajadia?"
"Di ko alam ang 'alan n'ya. Pero mataba s'ya, medyo kalbo, nakasalamin."
"Si Mister Balajadia nga. Tingnan mo ro'n sa bodega. Do'n ko natanaw kangina."
Sample dialogue from Mga Ibong Mandaragit (p. 23):
"Maniwala ka, at alam mo ba kung bakit gusto ng Kana ang Pinoy?"
"Bakit?"
"Pagka't ang Pinoy e tule, makinis na parang ulo ng trumpo," nagmamalaki si Martin. "Mientras ang Kano at ibang puti puro supot, mi kapoteng paris ng ratbu ng mga matsing na nakita natin."
Napahalakhak nang malutong sina Mando at Karyo sa mga paghahambing ni Martin.
"Pero sa'tin mang kapwa Pilipino'y marami ang supot," saad ni Karyo. "Dami lang ng tinule ko sa kuwartel ng gerilya, mi mga asawa na'y di pa binyagan. Nainggit na lang ang mga Bisaya't Bikol sa Tagalog, kaya nangagpatule..."
(Personal note:)
Reyes was born in San Ildefonso while Hernandez was born in Hagonoy, so I assume that both works were written with Bulakenyo Tagalog in mind.

This is probably a rarer and lesser known word variant from Southern Tagalog but does anyone else use âdigkitâ instead of âdikitâ? (pronounced similarly to lagkit)
Itâs a less noticeable variation as when spoken fast, the two consonants sort of blend together and native speakers might not know they are using this word because of it.
I can personally attest to it being in use in eastern Batangas and I have seen Infantahin blogs reference the word as part of their dialect. This could possible indicate a large geographic area spanning from Batangas bay to Lamon Bay.
I am aware that it is listed as a variant on Wiktionary and several online Tagalog dictionaries but there is little documentation of the spread.
If you do use this, please comment your municipality below.

Nakalagay sa ibaba ang mga alam ko na pagbibilad pero karaniwan ginagamitan yaan ng bistayan.
Tuyo (Danggit, Palipad-Hangin o Sapsap, Pompano or anything flat)
Haot (Tunsoy, Galunggong, Salinas, Biya, Tawilis, Hasa-Hasa, Tamban, Tanige or anything long, thin and round)
Inumboy/Itinapa (similar to fish used in Haot but smoked and usually boiled or simmered first before drying through sun, but can be used for any meat)
Daing (Sapsap na biak, Pusit na biak, or anything na biniak then dried)
Bislad/Binilad (general term for dried foods from bodies of water.)
Hinahanap ko yoong tawag sa pagbibilad na ibinibitin sa kawayan tapos may baga sa ilalim. Iniisip ko paano yoon uumbuyin mo tapos ibibilad mo rin?

The Tagalogs were in contact with the Malays in 900 AD, and with the Chinese (directly) in 987 AD, and unfortunately, the latter limited their contact to Manila. They could have settled and brought their arts, engineering, philosophy, and religion before colonization in the Philippines.

Mapapansin natin sa dasal na [Aba Ginoong Maria] ang paggamit ng Ginoo bilang pagturing sa ginagalang na tao, mapalalaki man o babae.
Ngayon bumabalik na ang gender neutral terms, sa inyong palagay, mabilis kayang tataggapin ng mga Filipino ang mulling paggamit ng Ginoo bilang honorrific sa kapwa lalaki at babae at sa mga queer at gender non-binary/agender na mga tao?

In some towns of Batangas (District 2 + Batangas City at least), the word âate/atiâ (for older sister) is used without any stress on the vowels, as opposed to âĂĄteâ in other parts of the country.
If youâre a native Tagalog speaker and also use/have heard this pronunciation growing up, please share where your hometown is.

Can anyone recommend any Tagalog programming for kids? All I can find are English-Tagalog lessons, but Iâm specifically looking for actual kids programming (does a Tagalog version of Ms. Rachel exist, for example?!)
I also donât have Netflix, but does any such programming exist on there? I know itâs pretty easy to change subtitles and audio to Filipino if there exists a dub of the show. Maybe I should download it again.

To everyone complaining about this in Forgotten Island, please be more culturally aware of Tagalog culture.
âTayo naâ is still widely used in the Southern Tagalog provinces including Batangas, Quezon, OrMin, and Marinduque. Manila Tagalog is not the only form of Tagalog and what sounds formal to you is everyday speech for us.
The contracted âayâ in words like âikaây/akoây/siyaâyâ arenât limited to songs or literature here.
Regardless of the widespread usage, small linguistic communities should still be represented. This line of thinking would exclude so many minority communities from being represented because it is not what âmostâ people use.

Dumadami na ulit gumagamit ng mga pandugtong na yan (limot ko na tawag sa tagalog) ngayon
-hin as in "trentahin" : before/almost 30
-hin as in lagunahin, lucenahin: inhabitants of Laguna, Lucena
-non, -nense as in bolanon, pangasinense: inhabitants+language+culture of Bohol, Pangasinan
Ano nga ba tamang tawag pag between 30 at 35 years? Malayo pa kasi sa 40 para sabihing kwarentahin
May iba pa ba tayong gamit na tawag para sa inhabitants/culture?

Pimsleur teaches Tagalog in its first lessons in reading with an accent mark. Later it removes it because normal written Tagalog doesn't have accent marks.
Now I get why I can see signs like "Kalye" "Senyor" "Senyora" in some writings because what the lack of accent marks re-spells the word in Tagalog. But the hard part without it is that some words like "Tapa" "Samantala" "Bukas" are to be read in context haha. Just a observation, but I want to be articulate in my Tagalog. Thank you for reading.

Nababasa ko na sa iba't-ibang post yang ganyang pagbanggit sa buwaya
Regional ba sya? May iba pa kayang spelling nung buwaya? Bwaya?
Tunog old-school yung "buaya" (tunog ang bigkas type), pero medyo nagulat ako na may gumagamit pala ng "buhaya"
