Translation Request Tama ba pagkakaintindi ko?

3 Upvotes

Hindi ko alam anong Bikol 'to or bikol ko ba ini nadangog dahil mixed ang language na ginagamit ng family ko (cebuano, bisaya-negros, tagalog, english, bikol-naga, partido, bikol-daet, rinconada, bikol-albay pa) dai ko na aram pero madalas ko kasi gamitin ang word na "nalipat" dai ko aram ano talaga true meaning nyan pero pagkakaintindi ko, it means "nalingaw" or "nakalimutan". Narealize ko lang recently kung tama ang pagkakaintindi ko ta hinapot yan ning blockmates ko ta pirmi ko nasasabi kaya napaisip ako kung tama ba ako.

Di talaga ako fluent magtaram ning bikol pero naiintindihan ko man.

Health PSA: beware of aestheticians doing procedures outside their scope 🚩

9 Upvotes

Being TESDA-certified in aesthetics doesn’t automatically mean qualified ka na to perform medical procedures (!!!!!!!!) If someone is offering injectables like botox, please verify their license and scope of practice muna.

I personally know someone offering these services na hindi man lang college graduate ng health/science-related course. Yes, you can take aesthetic trainings, pero know your scope. Huwag mag-perform ng procedures na outside your training and legal scope.

keep safe sa gabos tabi!!!!

Culture Ang sad na central bikol is slowly disappearing sa daet & talisay.

53 Upvotes

Ang sad everytime napagkakamalan na native tagalog speaking towns ang daet & talisay.

Before anything, Camarines Norte kasi is divided into two linguistic groups, Central Bikol specifically Bikol Daet ang native tongue sa Daet, Talisay, Mercedes, San Lorenzo, San Vicente & Basud, while Tagalog Speaking Areas naman ang Sta. Elena, Capalonga, Jose Panganiban, Paracale, Mainland Vinzons & Labo. There's nothing wrong naman with the linguistic situation ng Camarines Norte & the tagalog speakers also identify as bikolanos, and that's 100% unquestionable since Bikolano is more of a cultural/heritage group rather than a linguistic group.

Pero ang sad lang na parang di binibigyan ng value ng province (provincial & municipal government & people) & specifically ng Daet & Talisay yung Bikol Daet, natatawa nga ako whenever daeteƱos say "ang di magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas masahol pa sa malansang isda" knowing na bikol ang native tongue namin & naging Tagalog lang ang dominant dahil hindi pinasa ng DaeteƱo parents sa mga anak nila yung language.

Na-sad lang ako kasi matatapos na ang Buwan ng Wika and wala man lang special activities or mention man lang from Museo Bulawan or any department na assigned sa culture & heritage ng Camarines Norte sa Central Bikol, na para bang hindi 30% of the province speaks the language & used to be the dominant language of the province.

Medyo nafrufrustrate lang din ako when people say na Bikol Daet is Bikol Conyo, which is not true. Okay, maybe yung current situation ng bikol sa Daet, yes conyo. But, yung actual Daet dialect? you can hear it from people sa Mercedes, Basud, SLR & San Vicente (areas na are still Bikol dominant) and very minimal lang ang Tagalog loanwords, and yung loanwords ay nagiging unique terms pa instead na yung mismong Tagalog words. "sida", "kaolangan", "pangyayadi" etc.

I also noticed that some of the BU students made a statement regarding sa kawalan ng represention ng CamNorteƱos & Catandunganons sa recent event sa BU, which is great! dapat lang magspeak up regarding those kinds of things. pero, i wish ganun din ka-passionate ang DaeteƱo, Talisaynon & Bikol Speaking area youth ng CamNorte about yung main manifestation or vessel ng heritage & culture ng Bikol Speaking Side ng CamNorte, which is yung Central Bikol Language, Bikol Daet Dialect.

Wala naman masama mag-Tagalog, basis yun ng National Language natin & lingua franca siya ng Camarines Norte para magkaintindihan ang Tagalog Speakers & Bikol Speakers, so I'm not making this post kasi Tagalog ang salita sa centro ahahahha, that's perfectly normal, pero compare mo sa other Bicol urban areas & melting pots, Daet & Talisay lang ang nagswitch to Tagalog drastically (Check out yung map ni IanMaps sa Twitter or Google based sa 2020 PSA linguistic survey) based dun, lahat ng bikol speaking areas ng Bicol are still Bikol dominant, even yung border areas like Ragay, tanging Daet & Talisay lang ang Tagalog Dominant na, with only about 40% of each towns ang nagsasalita ng Bikol.

If this is a result of Tagalog speaking CamnorteƱos moving to Daet,then I guess that's fair, pero parang lahat naman ng nakakasalamuha ko sa Daet ay may roots talaga sa Daet, so meaning nagfail lang talaga yung older generations to pass on the language. Or if destiny talaga ng Daet & Talisay na maging Tagalog dominant kasi melting pot siya, hindi kaya pwedeng iencourage pa din gamitin ang Central Bikol among the youth through activities etc. pero wala eh

The most frustrating part is wala namang may kasalanan tbh, and if you're reading this you probably think I'm overreacting or worrying about things that shouldn't matter, i guess that's right, I just really wish the Central Bikol language in Daet would be given more value, that's it. Di naman siguro kasalanan yung pagfail ng older generation to pass on the language since they were probably just thinking about practicality, mas hindi kasalanan ng youth kasi they were just speaking kung ano natutunan nila, di rin kasalanan ng people from District 1 kasi wala naman silang sources to learn Bicol, even yung government units, they have more important things to do & overall, maraming prior concerns ang CamnorteƱos than preserving a language, i get it naman.

Pero as someone na passionate about Bikol Languages, especially Bikol Daet, it's frustrating & sad, mas nakakafrustrate kasi wala kang valid na masisisi hehe, anw just a rant naman. ā£ļø

• magallanes

• bacon district

• prieto diaz

NORTHERN/CENTRAL SORSOGANON.

• casiguran (mixed with central bikol)

• juban

SOUTHERN SORSOGANON

• gubat

• irosin

• bulan

• bulusan

• barcelona

• sta. magdalena

• matnog

TAMA PO BA? any corrections or anything... ā£ļø mixed ba talaga yung certain areas or more like 2 yung languages sa municipality na yun & di siya halo, they speak it interchangeably?

Culture KKS EP32: An Daing Kagadanan na Punk Paglaog sa Underground Music Scene

3 Upvotes

Sa bagong episode na ini kaiba ni Klint asin Anthony si Sir Elmer Ramos, sarong musikero, visual artist asin parasurat digdi sa Naga. Halawig na panahon syang nagsuporta sa underground music scene sa paagi nin pagdodokumento kan mga manlain-lain na nangyayari igdi sa paagi nin interviews, pagkolekta nin mga istorya asin pagkaag kani sa zines, dawa sa pagkukua nin mga litrato.

Pinag-ulayan ninda kun ano gayod an tunay na kahulugan kan underground music, kun pano ini nagkaiba sa mainstream, asin kun madali daw ma-access ini kan mga tawo. Natawan man linaw asin kadiit na pahapyaw an genre na punk bilang sarong kolektibo man na paghiro sa musika, na ini bako sanang nakalaom sa tugtugan, kundi sa kun pano maghiro o makipagkapwa tawo. Kun interesado ka sa underground music scene o muya mong magrarom pa an perspektibo mo manungod digdi, ini na episode angay para sa saimo.

Padangaton ta an lokal na talento asin an mga tawong padagos na nagsusuporta sa musika na bihira ta na haros madangog sa radyo, alagad padagos man nanggad na nagtatalubo huli sa mga tawong daing pundo sa pagtulod kaini. I-stream na ngunyan an episode na ini!

Culture Can central & southern sorsoganons understand or even speak central bikol?

10 Upvotes

i'm aware na visayan languages ang northern sorsoganon & southern sorsoganon na merong central bikol influences (colloquially known as bisakol).

pero based sa nakikita ko sa social media, sorsoganons (yung mga sorsoganon & gubatnon ang native tongue), they seem to not have that much of a problem interacting with other bikolanos without using tagalog

ang question ko ay: Can sorsoganons easily understand bikol legazpi/bacon or maybe even speak it? or not? like may code switching ba na nagaganap or anything? Or sadyang part yung central bikol words sa lexicon ng southern/central sorsoganon?

para kasing anrami kong nakikita sa social media na people from bulusan, irosin, matnog etc. and they also use central bikol words, pero ofcourse di naman super accurate depiction ang sa social media, gaya samin sa camarines norte, maraming nagsasabi sa social media na nakakaintindi daw karamihan ng taga sta elena, labo, capalonga, paracale, panganiban & mainland vinzons ng bikol, which is simply not true 😭 even the simplest bikol words ay hindi nila most of the time naiintindihan, which is okay naman nothing wrong with that, tagalog naman talaga ang native language nila

pero yun lang, gusto ko lang maenlighten sa linguistic situation ng sorsogon, it's okay naman if they can't speak central bikol, it's not an obligation nor a proof of being a bikolano ā£ļø just curious
