"Were you a teacher's pet back at school?

"Were you a teacher's pet back at school?

Um, for some of them, no, well, no.

Um, for some of them, no, well, no.

No.

No.

No.

What about you?

No.

What about you?

Yes, in English I was definitely the teacher's pet and in like PE I

Oo, in English siguradong teacher's pet ako and in like PE I

was the golden girl because I did all the clubs and took part in every

was the golden girl dahil ginawa ko ang lahat ng mga club at nakibahagi sa bawat

extracurricular activity that was going.

ekstrakurikular na aktibidad

I was generally a good girl, not a naughty girl.

sa pangkalahatan ako ay isang mabuting babae, hindi

It's a funny word, isn't it?

isang makulit na salita, hindi ba,

Naughty, because we use it to mean cheeky a lot.

dahil ginagamit namin ito sa isang bastos .

For children, I don't think we, I think naughty just means, um...

Para sa mga bata, I don't think we, I think naughty just means,

Badly...

...like badly behaved.

um ...

I think adults being naughty is different to being a criminal.

Badly

Yes, yes.

.

Whereas...

..

Because if you break the rules at school, you're a naughty boy or

Dahil kung lumabag ka sa mga patakaran sa paaralan, ikaw ay isang makulit na lalaki o

you're a naughty girl, but if you're a grown-up and you call someone a

ikaw ay isang makulit na babae, ngunit kung ikaw ay isang may sapat na gulang at tinatawag kang isang tao na isang

naughty girl, then it's got almost like a, it's like hanky panky, isn't it?

makulit na babae, kung gayon ito ay may halos isang, ito ay

Yeah.

parang

It's like, um...

hanky

Sexual connotations.

panky

Sexual connotations.

,

So, as a child, I wasn't a naughty girl, but I did hang around with...

hindi ba ?

...as an adult!?

bilang isang may sapat na gulang

I did hang around with some of the naughty kids.

!

There was one time when I started a new school and I was trying to hang out with

May isang pagkakataon na nagsimula ako sa isang bagong paaralan at sinusubukan kong makipag-hang out sa

a cool crowd and they were all behind the bikeshed having a sneaky ciggy,

isang cool na karamihan ng tao at lahat sila ay nasa likod ng bikeshed na may palihim na ciggy,

but I was being the lookout for them.

ngunit ako ay nagbabantay sa kanila.

I was trying to help them out because I wanted to get in with them and so I

Sinusubukan kong tulungan sila dahil gusto kong makapasok sa kanila kaya't

was looking out for them and then one of the girls asked me to hold one of their

hinahanap ko sila at pagkatapos ay hiniling sa akin ng isa sa mga batang babae na hawakan ko

cigarettes for a moment and the moment I took the cigarette in hand was the moment

sandali ang isa sa kanilang mga sigarilyo at sa sandaling kinuha ko ang sigarilyo sa kamay ay the moment

like the head of department or someone quite senior in the teaching staff walked

like the head of department or someone quite senior in the teaching staff walked

around the corner and literally caught me red-handed even though it wasn't my

around the corner and literally catched me red-handed kahit hindi ko

cigarette and of course, I protested.

sigarilyo at syempre, nagprotesta ako.

I was like,

I was like, "It's not mine, it's not mine..."

"It's not mine, it's not mine..."

But I had it in my hand.

Pero nasa kamay ko iyon.

Do you think your friends saw the teacher coming?

Sa tingin mo ba nakita ng mga kaibigan mo ang pagdating ng guro?

Maybe.

Siguro.

Maybe they were just like setting me up for a fall.

Baka parang itinatayo lang nila ako para mahulog.

But even in those circumstances, like, I wasn't the kind of person

Pero kahit na sa mga pagkakataong iyon, tulad ng, hindi ako ang uri ng tao

who would dob other people in.

na magdadala sa ibang tao.

I was a good girl but I kept my mouth shut when I needed to.

Mabait akong babae ngunit itinikom ko ang aking bibig kapag kailangan ko.

I used to hate the word dobbing.

Ayaw ko noon sa salitang dobbing.

Did you?

Yeah as a kid it was like, I always thought it was something

ikaw ba?

Oo bilang isang bata, parang, palagi kong iniisip na ito ay isang bagay

that people got off Neighbours...

na nakuha ng mga tao sa mga Kapitbahay...

Right.

...or, um, Home and Away, saying,

Tama.

...o, um, Home at Away, na nagsasabing,

"You're gonna be dobbing me in."

"Isasama mo ako."

Well what word would you use?

Well anong salita ang gagamitin mo?

Like to rat, to rat someone out or?

Gustong daga, daga ang isang tao o?

I think,...

I think,...

as when you were younger you just say like 'telling the teacher'

as when you were younger you just say like 'telling the teacher'

or something, but then...

or something, but then...

"I'm telling!"

"I'm telling!"

Yeah.

"I'm telling on you!"

Oo. "Sinasabi ko sayo!"

Yeah, be like you telling or whatever and then I think when you're a bit older like,

Oo, maging tulad ng sinasabi mo o kung ano pa man at pagkatapos ay iniisip ko kapag medyo mas matanda ka na tulad ng,

"You're gonna grass me up."

"You're gonna grass up me."

Oh, 'grass up'.

Oh, 'grass up'.

Yeah, absolutely.

Oo, talagang.

Yeah, we used that one a lot when I was a kid.

Oo, madalas naming ginagamit iyon noong bata pa ako.

"Don't grass me up."

"Huwag mo akong damot."

I was a goody two shoes, actually.

Ako ay isang magandang dalawang sapatos, sa totoo lang.

I don't remember ever getting a detention or...

Wala akong natatandaang nakulong o...

You really were a goody two shoes.

You really were a goody two shoes.

Yeah, I really was.

Oo, ako talaga.

I really was.

Ako talaga noon.

I have no idea how many detentions I got.

Hindi ko alam kung ilang detention ang nakuha ko.

Really?

Talaga?

Oh, so you were a bit of a naughty boy.

Oh, so medyo makulit ka.

Yeah, I got in a few fights and all this kind of stuff, you know, boys

Oo, napasama ako sa ilang mga away at lahat ng ganitong uri ng bagay, alam mo, mga lalaki

trying to find their place in like the hierarchy of the, of the year.

na nagsisikap na mahanap ang kanilang lugar tulad ng hierarchy ng, ng taon.

And there was 150 kids in my year, so there was a lot of people

At mayroong 150 na bata sa aking taon, kaya maraming tao ang

finding their places and things.

naghahanap ng kanilang mga lugar at bagay.

And then when you got a bit older, like, those sorts of things mostly disappeared.

At saka kapag medyo tumanda ka na, parang nawala na ang mga ganyang bagay.

I wasn't very good at doing my homework.

Hindi ako masyadong magaling sa paggawa ng aking takdang-aralin.

I was a bit bored, I think, for the most part.

Medyo nainis ako, sa tingin ko, sa karamihan.

So you'd just always test the limits.

Kaya't palagi mong susubukan ang mga limitasyon.

You know, I didn't, I didn't mind saying things that maybe were a bit on the edge.

Alam mo, hindi ko ginawa, hindi ko naisip na sabihin ang mga bagay na marahil ay medyo nasa gilid.

Right.

Getting me in a bit of trouble with the teachers and things.

Tama. Nagkakaroon ako ng kaunting problema sa mga guro at mga bagay.

You weren't expelled, were you?

Hindi ka naman pinatalsik diba?

No, I was never expelled.

Hindi, hindi ako pinatalsik.

I think you've got to be horrible to be expelled.

Sa tingin ko kailangan mong maging kakila-kilabot na mapatalsik.

I was suspended, maybe three times.

Nasuspinde ako, siguro tatlong beses.

You were suspended three times?

Tatlong beses kang nasuspinde?

I think so, yeah.

Sa tingin ko, oo.

What on earth did you do to get suspended for a whole week?

Ano ang ginawa mo para masuspinde ng isang buong linggo?

Well..."

Well..."

Were you a teacher's pet back at school?

Ikaw ba ay isang alagang hayop ng guro sa paaralan?

Teacher's pet describes the student who is the teacher's favourite student.

Inilarawan ng alagang hayop ng guro ang mag-aaral na paboritong mag-aaral ng guro.

So they might get a special treatment, or the teacher may just behave in a more kind

Kaya't maaari silang magkaroon ng espesyal na pagtrato, o maaaring kumilos ang guro sa isang mas mabait

and friendly way towards that student.

at palakaibigan na paraan sa mag-aaral na iyon. .

The teacher's pet.

Ang alaga

In like PE I was the golden girl.

ng guro

Here I mentioned being the golden girl in PE.

Sa tulad ng PE Ako ay

PE stands for physical education.

ang

It's the lessons that involve sports and being physical that we do at

ginintuang

school and being a golden girl is like being a very well-behaved and

babae tulad ng pagiging isang napaka-well-behaved at

well-liked girl, a golden girl.

well-like na batang babae, isang ginintuang babae

But if you're a grown-up and you call someone a naughty girl, then it's got

ngunit kung ikaw ay isang matanda at ikaw ay tumawag sa isang tao na isang makulit na babae, kung gayon ito ay may

almost like a, it's like hanky panky.

halos isang, ito ay tulad ng

Hanky panky.

Hanky ​​panky

This kind of fun slightly naughty phrase refers to behaving in a very

uri ng nakakatuwang bahagyang malikot na parirala ay tumutukoy sa pag-uugali sa isang napaka

intimate and sexual way with somebody else the act of hanky panky could

-kilala at sekswal na paraan sa ibang tao ang pagkilos ng hanky panky ay maaaring

literally replace the word sex.

literal na palitan ang salitang sex Kaya,

So,

"Did you have hanky panky last night?"

"

Mayroon

It's sex, basically.

ka bang hanky panky kagabi?"

A bit of hanky panky.

ng hanky panky

But hanky panky can also refer to just the acts that are sexual

ngunit ang hanky panky ay maaari ding tumukoy sa mga kilos na sekswal

that aren't necessarily sex.

na hindi naman kasarian.

So a bit of, a bit of tickling and rolling around.

Kaya medyo, medyo nakikiliti at nagpapagulong-gulong.

Hanky panky.

Hanky ​​panky.

And they were all behind the bike shed having a sneaky ciggy, but

At lahat sila ay nasa likod ng bike shed na may palihim na ciggy, ngunit

I was being the lookout for them.

ako ang nagbabantay sa kanila.

I was trying to help them out because I wanted to get in with them.

Sinubukan kong tulungan sila dahil gusto kong makapasok sa kanila.

Here, I used the phrase ciggy, meaning cigarette.

Dito, ginamit ko ang pariralang ciggy, ibig sabihin ay sigarilyo.

So you might hear different, uh, like slang terms like

Kaya baka iba ang maririnig mo, eh, tulad ng mga salitang balbal tulad ng

sig, fag, ciggy, cigarette.

sig, fag, ciggy, sigarilyo.

I use the word ciggy just off the cuff.

Ginagamit ko ang salitang ciggy sa labas lang ng cuff.

I also said lookout.

sabi ko din lookout.

To be a lookout is to be the person who stands guard while something is happening,

Ang pagiging isang tagabantay ay ang maging taong nagbabantay habang may nangyayari,

watching to make sure that no one is coming or that no one can see and if

nagbabantay upang matiyak na walang darating o walang makakakita at kung

someone is coming the lookout is supposed to tell whoever is doing the deed,

may darating ay sasabihin ng tagabantay ang sinumang gumagawa ng gawa,

"Someone's coming quick."

" May mabilis na darating."

Now, normally there'd be a lookout if a gang were committing a crime like

Ngayon, karaniwang may nagbabantay kung ang isang gang ay gumagawa ng isang krimen tulad ng

robbing a bank there'd be someone on lookout at the front or I always think

pagnanakaw sa isang bangko ay may nagbabantay sa harap o lagi kong iniisip

of meerkats when I think of a lookout because meerkats will spend their

ang mga meerkat kapag naiisip ko ang isang lookout dahil gugugol ng mga meerkat ang kanilang

time doing what they're doing but one meerkat will have the job of being the

oras sa paggawa ng kung ano. ginagawa nila ngunit ang isang meerkat ay magkakaroon ng trabaho bilang

lookout and he stands up tall and he looks to the sky to look for predators.

pagbabantay at siya ay tumayo nang matangkad at tumingin siya sa langit upang maghanap ng mga mandaragit.

And if there's a predator, he will warn the others and they'll all

At kung mayroong isang mandaragit, babalaan niya ang iba at lahat sila ay

quickly scurry away into safety.

mabilis na tumakbo palayo sa ligtas na lugar.

I also said I wanted to get in with the group, to get in with them.

Sinabi ko rin na gusto kong makapasok sa grupo, para makapasok sa kanila.

To get in with a group of people is to become one of them.

Ang makapasok sa isang grupo ng mga tao ay maging isa sa kanila.

So be liked by a group of friends so that they want you to be in their group.

Kaya magustuhan ka ng isang grupo ng mga kaibigan para gusto ka nilang makasama sa kanilang grupo.

They like talking to you, they invite you to do the things that

Gusto ka nilang kausapin, iniimbitahan ka nilang gawin ang mga bagay na

they're doing to get in with them.

ginagawa nila para makapasok sa kanila.

And literally caught me red-handed even though it wasn't my cigarette.

At literal na nahuli ako kahit hindi ko sigarilyo.

I was caught red-handed.

Nahuli ako ng masama.

To be caught red-handed is an idiom that describes being caught or found in the act

Ang mahuli nang walang kabuluhan ay isang idyoma na naglalarawan ng pagiging nahuli o natagpuan sa akto

of doing something you shouldn't be doing.

ng paggawa ng isang bagay na hindi mo dapat ginagawa.

So if I'm in my kitchen, no one's around, and there's a big slice

Kaya kung nasa kusina ako, walang tao, at may malaking hiwa

of cake in the fridge that I'm not supposed to eat, because it belongs

ng cake sa ref na hindi ko dapat kainin, dahil pag-aari ito

to someone else or maybe I'm on a diet and then I think no one's looking,

ng iba o baka nagda-diet ako at pagkatapos ay iniisip ko. walang nakatingin,

"Chomp chomp!"

"Chomp chomp!"

And I've got chocolate all over my face and someone walks in as I'm just

And I've got chocolate all over my face and someone walk in as I'm just

licking my fingers, but I still have chocolate on my face Then I've just been

licking my fingers, but I still have chocolate on my face Then I've just been

caught red-handed, caught in the act.

nahuli, nahuli sa akto.

Maybe they were just like setting me up for a fall.

Baka parang itinatayo lang nila ako para mahulog.

To set someone up for a fall is to prepare someone to then allow them to fail.

Upang itakda ang isang tao para sa isang pagkahulog ay upang ihanda ang isang tao na pagkatapos ay payagan silang mabigo.

Just like you would set up dominoes, and as soon as you finish setting

Tulad ng pag-set up mo ng mga domino, at sa sandaling matapos mong i-set

up your dominoes, you knock them down, and they all fall down.

up ang iyong mga domino, ipapatumba mo ang mga ito, at lahat sila ay bumagsak.

In some circumstances, people will set other people up for a fall.

Sa ilang mga pagkakataon, itatakda ng mga tao ang ibang tao para mahulog.

So they'll put them in a situation where they know they will fail.

Kaya ilalagay nila sila sa isang sitwasyon kung saan alam nilang mabibigo sila.

It's not pleasant, but it happens.

Hindi ito kaaya-aya, ngunit nangyayari ito.

But even in those circumstances, like, I wasn't the kind of person

Ngunit kahit na sa mga sitwasyong iyon, tulad ng, hindi ako ang uri ng tao

who would dob other people in.

na magdadala ng ibang tao.

To dob someone in it's possibly clear now because of the context, but to

Ang pag-dob sa isang tao ay posibleng malinaw na ngayon dahil sa konteksto, ngunit ang

dob someone in is to tell someone that that person was doing something wrong.

pag-dob sa isang tao ay para sabihin sa isang tao na ginagawa ng taong iyon merong problema.

So if we are friends at school and you break the rules and I go and

Kaya't kung magkaibigan tayo sa paaralan at lumabag ka sa mga patakaran at pupunta ako at

tell the teacher that you've broken the rules, I am dobbing you in.

sasabihin ko sa guro na nilabag mo ang mga patakaran, pinapasok kita.

To dob in.

Upang mag-dob in.

I always thought it was something that people got off Neighbours...

Palagi kong iniisip na ito ay isang bagay na nakuha ng mga tao sa mga Kapitbahay.. .

Right.

​

...or, um, Home and Away.

...o, um, Bahay at Wala.

Nick mentioned Neighbours or Home and Away.

Binanggit ni Nick ang mga Kapitbahay o Home and Away.

Now these are two very famous soap operas, maybe not as famous now with the

Ngayon ito ay dalawang napakasikat na soap opera, marahil ay hindi gaanong sikat ngayon sa mga

younger generations but certainly when I was growing up in the 90s Neighbours

nakababatang henerasyon ngunit tiyak na noong ako ay lumaki noong 90s Neighbors

and Home and Away were very popular.

at Home and Away ay napakapopular.

Everyone of my age will know what I'm referring to, if I say Neighbours or

Malalaman ng lahat ng kaedad ko kung ano ang tinutukoy ko, kung sasabihin kong Neighbors o

Home and Away, these are soap operas that were just commonplace in the

Home and Away, ito ay mga telenobela na pangkaraniwan lang sa

British household when I was growing up.

pamilyang British noong ako ay lumalaki.

Neighbours

Mga Kapitbahay

Everybody needs

Lahat ng tao ay nangangailangan

ng mabuting kapitbahay.

Closer each day,

Mas malapit sa bawat araw,

Home and Away

Home at Away

You're gonna grass me up?

Sasagutin mo ako?

Oh, 'grass up'.

Oh, 'grass up'.

Yeah, absolutely.

Oo, talagang.

Yeah, we used that one a lot when I was a kid.

Oo, madalas naming ginagamit iyon noong bata pa ako.

On the subject of dobbing someone in, we also have other

Sa paksa ng pag-dobbing ng isang tao, mayroon din kaming iba pang

phrases that were very common.

mga parirala na karaniwan.

One particular one is grass up.

Ang isang partikular ay ang damo.

Now, if you grass someone up, it's the same as dobbing them in.

Ngayon, kung damuhan mo ang isang tao, ito ay katulad ng pag-dobbing sa kanila.

You're telling tales on them.

Kinukwento mo sila.

You're telling someone,

Sinasabi mo sa isang tao,

"They did this, they did something wrong."

"Ginawa nila ito, may ginawa silang mali."

in order to get them into trouble.

para malagay sila sa gulo.

That's the reason that you would grass someone up.

Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit mo masisigawan ang isang tao.

If you committed a crime and I went to the police, then I'm essentially a grass.

Kung nakagawa ka ng isang krimen at nagpunta ako sa pulisya, kung gayon ako ay mahalagang damo.

I am a grass.

Isa akong damo.

I've just grassed you up.

Ginamot lang kita.

You really were a goody two shoes.

Ang ganda mo talaga ng dalawang sapatos.

Yeah, I really was.

Oo, ako talaga.

To be a goody two shoes.

Upang maging isang magandang dalawang sapatos.

To be a goody two shoes.

Upang maging isang magandang dalawang sapatos.

It's often actually used as a phrase that has a negative connotation.

Madalas itong aktwal na ginagamit bilang isang parirala na may negatibong konotasyon.

If someone's a goody two shoes, it means that they're disliked a little

Kung ang isang tao ay isang magaling na dalawang sapatos, nangangahulugan ito na medyo hindi sila nagustuhan

bit because they are too good.

dahil sila ay masyadong mahusay.

They really play to the rules and just always try to be the golden

They really play to the rules and just always try to be the golden

girl or the golden boy and they don't have any problems with grassing

girl or the golden boy at wala silang problema sa pag-damuhan

someone up, dobbing them in so that they can win brownie points, so

sa isang tao, pagdo-dobbing sa kanila para manalo sila ng brownie points, para

they can be favoured by authority.

sila ay paboran ng awtoridad. .

So sometimes people don't like a goody two shoes.

Kaya minsan ang mga tao ay hindi gusto ang isang magandang dalawang sapatos.

Also a goody two shoes is someone who maybe never lets their hair down.

Gayundin ang isang magandang dalawang sapatos ay isang tao na marahil ay hindi kailanman hinahayaan ang kanilang buhok.

They never take risks.

Hindi sila kailanman nakipagsapalaran.

And that can be associated with not being fun.

At iyon ay maaaring iugnay sa hindi pagiging masaya.

So it's good to follow the rules and do as you're told but being a goody

Kaya't mabuting sundin ang mga patakaran at gawin ang sinabi sa iyo ngunit ang pagiging isang mabuting

two shoes maybe is a step too far.

dalawang sapatos ay maaaring isang hakbang na masyadong malayo.

Yeah, I got in a few fights and all this kind of stuff, you know boys

Oo, napasama ako sa ilang mga laban at lahat ng ganitong uri ng bagay, alam mo ang mga batang lalaki

trying to find their place in like the hierarchy of the, of the year.

na sinusubukang hanapin ang kanilang lugar tulad ng hierarchy ng, ng taon.

Here I used the word hierarchy.

Dito ko ginamit ang salitang hierarchy.

Hierarchy.

Hierarchy.

A hierarchy is a system that orders people in terms of status and authority.

Ang hierarchy ay isang sistema na nag-uutos sa mga tao sa mga tuntunin ng katayuan at awtoridad.

So in a school, at the top of the hierarchy will be the

Kaya sa isang paaralan, sa tuktok ng hierarchy ay ang

headmaster or the head mistress.

punong guro o ang punong babae.

Below them will be the heads of departments, so the head of math.

Sa ibaba nila ay ang mga pinuno ng mga departamento, kaya ang pinuno ng matematika.

The head of English, the head of languages, the head

Ang pinuno ng Ingles, ang pinuno ng mga wika, ang pinuno

of PE, physical education.

ng PE, pisikal na edukasyon.

And then below that, you'll have all the other teaching staff.

At pagkatapos sa ibaba nito, makikita mo ang lahat ng iba pang kawani ng pagtuturo.

And below that, you might have the prefects, which are the, the

At sa ibaba nito, maaari kang magkaroon ng mga prefect, na kung saan ay ang, ang mga

model students, the goody two shoes students who are happy to

modelong mag-aaral, ang magaling na dalawang sapatos na mag-aaral na masaya na

take on extra responsibilities.

kumuha ng karagdagang mga responsibilidad.

And then you have the students.

At pagkatapos ay mayroon kang mga mag-aaral.

That's the hierarchy, the system of status and authority.

Iyan ang hierarchy, ang sistema ng katayuan at awtoridad.

I was a bit bored, I think, for the most part.

Medyo nainis ako, sa tingin ko, sa karamihan.

So you'd just always test the limits.

Kaya't palagi mong susubukan ang mga limitasyon.

You may have missed it, but I said, uh,

Maaaring napalampas mo ito, ngunit sinabi ko, uh,

"So you always test the limits."

"Kaya palagi mong sinusubok ang mga limitasyon."

If someone tests the limits, it means that they see how much they

Kung ang isang tao ay sumubok sa mga limitasyon, nangangahulugan ito na nakikita nila kung magkano ang

can do before getting into trouble.

maaari nilang gawin bago magkaroon ng problema.

So if you say to me,

Kaya kung sasabihin mo sa akin,

"Anna, bedtime is nine o'clock on the dot and that's the rule.

"Anna, ang oras ng pagtulog ay alas-nuwebe sa tuldok at iyon ang panuntunan.

Stick to it."

Manatili ka."

But then one night I stay up till two minutes past nine

Ngunit pagkatapos ay isang gabi napuyat ako hanggang alas nuebe lampas dalawang minuto

and I don't get into trouble.

at hindi ako nagkakaproblema.

So the next night I stay up till four minutes past nine.

Kaya't sa susunod na gabi ay nagpupuyat ako hanggang alas nuebe lampas apat na minuto.

Nobody says anything.

Walang sinasabi.

So the next night I really push the boat out and I stay up till ten past nine.

Kaya kinabukasan ay talagang itinulak ko ang bangka palabas at nagpupuyat ako hanggang alas nuebe y medya.

Then I get into trouble.

Tapos nahihirapan ako.

"Anna, I told you bedtime is at nine o'clock on the dot.

"Anna, I told you bedtime is at nune o'clock on the dot.

You're really pushing the limits here.

You're really pushing the limits here.

Don't test me."

Don't test me."

So, to test the limits is to see how far you can go before things change.

Kaya, upang subukan ang mga limitasyon ay upang makita kung gaano kalayo ang maaari mong gawin bago magbago ang mga bagay.

You weren't expelled, were you?

Hindi ka naman pinatalsik diba?

No, I was never expelled.

Hindi, hindi ako pinatalsik.

The word expelled not a good word.

Ang salitang pinatalsik ay hindi isang magandang salita.

This means that you are permanently removed from a school or educational

Nangangahulugan ito na permanente kang tinanggal sa isang paaralan o

setting because of bad behaviour.

setting ng edukasyon dahil sa masamang pag-uugali.

So if you've done something very serious then you are asked to leave

Kaya kung nakagawa ka ng isang bagay na napakaseryoso, hihilingin sa iyo na umalis

the school and you may never come back.

sa paaralan at maaaring hindi ka na bumalik.

Suspended, maybe three times.

Nasuspinde, siguro tatlong beses.

You were suspended three times?

Tatlong beses kang nasuspinde?

I think so, yeah.

Sa tingin ko, oo.

To be suspended means to be asked to leave for a short period and this is a

Ang ibig sabihin ng masuspinde ay humiling na umalis sa loob ng maikling panahon at ito ay isang

punishment for doing something quite bad but not so bad that you are expelled.

parusa para sa paggawa ng isang bagay na medyo masama ngunit hindi masyadong masama na ikaw ay pinatalsik.

It might be that you are only allowed to be suspended two or three times, and

Maaaring dalawa o tatlong beses ka lang pinapayagang masuspinde, at

if you are continuously breaking those rules, then eventually you'll be expelled.

kung patuloy kang lumalabag sa mga panuntunang iyon, sa kalaunan ay mapapatalsik ka.

Suspension is for a short period you're asked to leave school.

Ang pagsususpinde ay para sa maikling panahon na hiniling sa iyong umalis sa paaralan.

Expulsion, to be expelled, is a permanent ban.

Ang pagpapatalsik, na mapapatalsik, ay isang permanenteng pagbabawal.

What on earth did you do to get suspended for a whole week?

Ano ang ginawa mo para masuspinde ng isang buong linggo?

And here I said,

At dito ko sinabi,

"What on earth did you do?"

"Ano sa lupa ang ginawa mo?"

What on earth?

Ano sa lupa?

Um, to add on earth into a question, like,

Um, upang idagdag sa lupa sa isang tanong, tulad ng,

"Who on earth?"

"Sino sa lupa?"

"What on earth?"

"Ano sa lupa?"

"Where on earth?"

"Saan sa lupa?"

"Why on earth?"

"Bakit sa lupa?"

If you slide in 'on earth' after those W-questions, then you're

ang katotohanan na nagulat ka o nabigla sa

what you are trying to understand.

kung ano ang sinusubukan mong maunawaan.

If you are doing something that I think is crazy, I'd say,

Kung gumagawa ka ng isang bagay na sa tingin ko ay nakakabaliw, sasabihin ko,

"What on earth are you doing?"

"Anong ginagawa mo?"

Or if you walk into my house and I don't know who you are, I'd look at you and say,

O kung pumasok ka sa bahay ko at hindi ko alam kung sino ka, titingin ako sa iyo at sasabihin,

"Who on earth are you?

"Sino ka sa mundo?

And what on earth are you doing in my house?"

At ano ang ginagawa mo sa bahay ko?"

So it adds meaning an additional level of shock or surprise to your question.

Kaya nagdaragdag ito ng kahulugan ng karagdagang antas ng pagkabigla o sorpresa sa iyong tanong.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Sana ay nagustuhan mo iyon.
