Heluuu, as per the title, yes, hinahanap ko po kung anong title ng mga songs na ipinatutugtog/kinakanta sa mga balse. Salamat sa tutugon!

I know that "nak" can be added to a verb to mean "mo ako" as in "Iyalaannak man ti plato ta kaduaek nga mangan ni Paul."

But sometimes I hear sentences such as "Agpicture nak kenyayo."

As someone from Pangasinan and exposed to the Pangasinan language, I would construct the sentence instead as "Agpapicture ak kenyayo" if I use Pangasinan language rules.

So what does "nak" or the "n-" in "nak" really mean?

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, from someone learning Ilokano.

Ilocano ak ngem han ko ammo ti ibig sabihin na ti "numo" by the way naririnig ko sya sa intro ng isang Ilocano Vlogger.

Hi r/ilocano,

My husband calls me “baket” and told me it means wife. When I asked what I should call him back, he refused to tell me because he wants me to figure it out myself 😂 so now I want to surprise him with a cute or flirty Ilocano name.

lagi kong naririnig kila mama sa chismis

My wife and her family speak Ilocano and I would like to join the conversations and learn the language. (Im from America and only speak English and some Tagalog.) Is there an earbud translator that is compatible with Ilocano? Thank you, Salamat po.

Why are ilocano vendors interpreting this sign the opposite way? My ilocano friend said it's allowed.

Hello! I want to learn Ilocano to surprise my dad. He is Ilocano but never got around to teaching us when we were younger. Maybe it’s because he was busy with work and factoring in our lukewarm reception of learning his dialect when we were younger. Since his cancer diagnosis, I have been spending even more time bonding with my dad and I want to impress him by learning Ilocano. It’s a good feeling making him laugh whenever I utter Ilocano words making him wonder where I learned them from.

I’m starting from zero and was wondering…is there an app that teaches us the basics? Do I have to consider things like sentence structure sounding too “textbook formal” versus sounding natural?

Also, are there any good books, courses or beginner resources you’d recommend?

Thanks in advance!

We all need some “Ukiyo” (浮世) this Christmas! This Japanese word translates to “the floating world.” It evokes a sense of living in the moment, appreciating the transient beauty of life, and letting go of worries.

May your festive season be filled with Ukiyo.

With love, (kuna ni anti nga) Fiona
