beginning of a word. Now, you can see all the examples behind me.

simula ng isang salita. Ngayon, makikita mo ang lahat ng mga halimbawa sa likod ko.

But of course, in this case, if you see KN at the beginning of a word,

Ngunit siyempre, sa kasong ito, kung nakikita mo ang KN sa simula ng isang salita,

you do not say the ‘K’ sound. Okay.

hindi mo sinasabi ang tunog na 'K'. Sige.

Just forget the K's there. Well don't forget ,but ignore it.

Kalimutan mo na lang yung K diyan. Well, huwag kalimutan, ngunit huwag pansinin ito.

Okay. Don't make that sound.

Sige. Wag kang ganyan.

So our first one here. This word is not ‘K-now’.

Kaya ang una namin dito. Ang salitang ito ay hindi 'K-now'.

Alright. That's horrible right there.

Sige. Iyan ay kakila-kilabot doon.

What you want to do is, you just want to think ‘no’.

Ang gusto mong gawin, gusto mo lang isipin na 'hindi'.

And you should know this is like, “I know how to speak English.”

At dapat mong malaman na ito ay tulad ng, "Marunong akong magsalita ng Ingles."

Alright. These are the things you ‘know’ how to

Sige. Ito ang mga bagay na iyong 'alam' kung paano

d. It's not ‘k-now’.

d. Hindi ito 'k-now'.

We just know. I know how to do things.

Alam lang namin. Alam ko kung paano gawin ang mga bagay.

Alright. And then down to ‘knowledge’.

Sige. At pagkatapos ay pababa sa 'kaalaman'.

Alright. Again, no ‘K’ sound.

Sige. Muli, walang 'K' na tunog.

We have ‘knowledge’. Now, ‘knowledge’ is all the things you know.

May 'kaalaman' tayo. Ngayon, ang 'kaalaman' ay ang lahat ng bagay na alam mo.

If you have a lot of knowledge, you're a very smart person.

Kung marami kang kaalaman, napakatalino mong tao.

Alright.

Sige.

Stupid people, they have no knowledge. Okay.

Mga bobo, walang alam. Sige.

Or maybe you just don't know about a certain topic.

O baka hindi mo lang alam ang tungkol sa isang partikular na paksa.

It's like I have no knowledge about the Chinese language.

Parang wala akong alam sa Chinese language.

That's a true thing. I don't know anything.

Iyan ay isang tunay na bagay. wala akong alam.

All right. Next, we have ‘knight’.

Lahat tama. Susunod, mayroon kaming 'knight'.

Now, this is not ‘night time’, like “Oh day is finished. It's night time.”

Ngayon, hindi ito 'oras ng gabi', tulad ng "Oh tapos na ang araw. Gabi na."

Now, if there's a ‘K’ here, this is like the old style in England.

Ngayon, kung mayroong isang 'K' dito, ito ay tulad ng lumang estilo sa England.

Like King Arthur and his knights. And they wear the armor and fight with swords.

Tulad ni Haring Arthur at ng kanyang mga kabalyero. At isinusuot nila ang baluti at nakikipaglaban gamit ang mga espada.

That sort of thing. That's what that night means.

Yung tipong. Iyon ang ibig sabihin ng gabing iyon.

We also have this one here. ‘knew’

Meron din kaming ganito dito. 'alam'

Okay Now, ‘knew’ is just the past tense of

Okay Ngayon, ang 'alam' ay past tense lang ng

‘know’. It's okay, like “Many years ago, I knew

'alam'. Okay lang, tulad ng "Maraming taon na ang nakalipas, may kilala akong

someone named Paul.” Alright.

nagngangalang Paul." Sige.

That was in the past. I don't know him anymore but I knew him many

Dati na yun. Hindi ko na siya kilala pero kilala ko siya maraming

years ago. All right.

taon na ang nakakaraan. Lahat tama.

We also have ‘knee’. That's a, that one right there.

May 'tuhod' din kami. Iyan ay isang, ang isa doon.

Okay. It's like that middle part of your leg, where

Sige. Ito ay tulad ng gitnang bahagi ng iyong binti, kung saan

your leg bends. That's the ‘knee’.

yumuko ang iyong binti. Yan ang 'tuhod'.

Again, not ‘k-nee'. Remember that.

Muli, hindi 'k-nee'. Tandaan mo yan.

Now, ‘kneel’. Very similar to ‘knee’.

Ngayon, 'lumuhod'. Katulad ng 'tuhod'.

Just plus an ‘L’. Now ‘kneel’.

Dagdagan lang ng 'L'. Ngayon ay 'lumuhod'.

It's now sometimes people sit down on a chair, but then kneel just means to go down on your

Ngayon ay minsan ang mga tao ay nakaupo sa isang upuan, ngunit pagkatapos ay lumuhod ay nangangahulugan lamang na lumuhod

knees. Okay.

. Sige.

Probably because you don't have a chair. So you have to kneel on the floor.

Malamang dahil wala kang upuan. Kaya kailangan mong lumuhod sa sahig.

Down on your knees. Okay.

Lumuhod ka. Sige.

Another one, ‘knife’. Very simple.

Isa pa, 'kutsilyo'. Napakasimple.

You have to cut something. ‘knife’

Kailangan mong putulin ang isang bagay. 'kutsilyo'

Okay. If you ever cook food or prepare food you

Okay. Kung sakaling magluluto ka ng pagkain o maghanda ng pagkain

might need a knife to cut your vegetables. So remember, not ‘K-nife’, just ‘knife’.

ay maaaring kailangan mo ng kutsilyo upang maputol ang iyong mga gulay. Kaya tandaan, hindi 'K-nife', 'kutsilyo' lang.

After that, another example is ‘knit’. Okay.

Pagkatapos nito, ang isa pang halimbawa ay 'knit'. Sige.

You know if you have a handmade scarf or maybe a handmade sweater that means you knit the

Alam mo kung mayroon kang isang handmade scarf o maaaring isang handmade sweater na nangangahulugan na niniting mo ang

scarf. Okay.

scarf. Sige.

It's the old style - making a scarf. You knit the scarf - handmade style.

Ito ang lumang istilo - paggawa ng scarf. Niniting mo ang scarf - estilo ng yari sa kamay.

Alright. Then there's ‘knob’.

Sige. Tapos may 'knob'.

All right. Now ‘knob’ is on some doors.

Lahat tama. Ngayon ang 'knob' ay nasa ilang pinto.

Some doors have a handle, but some doors have a knob.

May hawakan ang ilang pinto, ngunit may knob ang ilang pinto.

And this is you grab it and just turn it. It's almost like a ball shape.

At ito ay kunin mo ito at iikot mo lang. Halos parang bola ang hugis.

Grab the knob. Turn the knob. It's good thing.

Grab ang knob. Pindutin ang knob. Buti na lang.

All right. Also for a door, you have ‘knock’.

Lahat tama. Gayundin para sa isang pinto, mayroon kang 'katok'.

This is ‘knock knock’. Anybody home?

Ito ay 'knock knock'. may tao sa bahay?

Alright. You're going to visit your friend.

Sige. Bibisitahin mo ang iyong kaibigan.

Don't just open the door. Well maybe but it's polite - knock knock.

Huwag mo lang buksan ang pinto. Well siguro ngunit ito ay magalang - knock knock.

Then someone will come and open the door for you.

Pagkatapos ay may darating at bubuksan ang pinto para sa iyo.

Okay. Then, we also have ‘knot’.

Sige. Tapos, meron din tayong 'knot'.

Okay. Now, this isn't like, “I am NOT going home.”

Sige. Ngayon, hindi ito tulad ng, "HINDI ako uuwi."

No. with a ‘k', ‘knot’ is kind of like when

Hindi. na may 'k', ang 'knot' ay parang kapag

you tie something like your shoes. Okay.

tinali mo ang isang bagay tulad ng iyong sapatos. Sige.

You take your shoe strings and you tie them into a knot so that they don't fall down,

Kunin mo ang mga string ng iyong sapatos at itali mo ito para hindi malaglag,

fall apart. Okay.

malaglag. Sige.

Tie your shoes in a knot. All right.

Itali ang iyong sapatos sa isang buhol. Lahat tama.

And then down here we have ‘knuckle’. All right.

At pagkatapos dito ay mayroon kaming 'buko'. Lahat tama.

‘knuckle’ Kind of like how ‘knee’ is on your leg,

'Buko' Parang 'tuhod' sa binti mo,

a ‘knuckle’ is on your finger. All right.

'buko' sa daliri mo. Lahat tama.

Right there where your fingers bend. Those are my knuckles.

Doon mismo kung saan nakayuko ang iyong mga daliri. Iyan ang aking mga buko.

All right. So as you can see here, there's many words.

Lahat tama. Kaya tulad ng makikita mo dito, maraming mga salita.

There's more than these, but these are just 12 of these words,

Mayroong higit pa sa mga ito, ngunit ito ay 12 lamang sa mga salitang ito,

where it starts with ‘K’ but we can't say the ‘K’.

kung saan ito ay nagsisimula sa 'K' ngunit hindi natin masasabi ang 'K'.

Well can't? We just don't say the ‘K’ or… it's you're going to look silly.

Well hindi pwede? Hindi lang namin sinasabi ang 'K' o... magmumukha kang tanga.

I hope that helps you and I hope you can remember it.

Sana ay makatulong ito sa iyo at sana ay maalala mo ito.

Thank you.

Salamat.
