Let's get started.
0
120
1840
Magsimula na tayo.
00:01
Let's take a list of words.
1
1960
3520
Kumuha tayo ng listahan ng mga salita.
00:05

12080
1520

00:13
longhand
7
13600
2640
longhand
00:16
Now if we take a look at that list
8
16240
3080
Ngayon kung titingnan natin ang listahang iyon
00:19
the first thing you can notice
9
19320
2160
ang unang bagay na mapapansin mo
00:21
is that the letters 'gh'
10
21480
2640
ay ang mga titik na 'gh'
00:24
can be placed in the beginning of a word,
11
24120
4120
ay maaaring ilagay sa simula ng isang salita,
00:28
in the middle of a word,
12
28240
1840
sa gitna ng isang salita,
00:30
or at the end of a word.
13
30080
3040
o sa dulo ng isang salita.
00:33
And as you can hear,
14
33120
2800
At gaya ng naririnig mo,
00:35
the sound is different.
15
35920
2880
iba ang tunog.
00:38
Now let's get to it together.
16
38800
3360
Ngayon ay sabay-sabay nating talakayin ito.
00:42
'ghost' is the first word.
17
42160
2960
'multo' ang unang salita.
00:45
Now what is the sound what can you hear?
18
45120
4280
Ngayon ano ang tunog ano ang naririnig mo?
00:49
What you can hear very clearly is this 'g' sound.
19
49400
4280
Ang napakalinaw mong maririnig ay ang tunog na 'g' na ito.
00:53
'ghost' it's called a hard 'g'.
20
53680
4280
'ghost' ito ay tinatawag na isang mahirap na 'g'.
00:57
Most of the time
21
57960
1720
Kadalasan
00:59
when you have the letters 'g'  'h' at the beginning of a word
22
59680
4640
kapag mayroon kang mga titik na 'g' 'h' sa simula ng isang salita,
01:04
it will be pronounced /g/ a hard 'g'.
23
64320
4760
ito ay binibigkas na /g/ isang matigas na 'g'.
01:09
The second word is 'spaghetti'.
24
69080
4600
Ang pangalawang salita ay 'spaghetti'.
01:13
Now the 'gh' is in the middle of the word
25
73680
5040
Ngayon ang 'gh' ay nasa gitna ng salita
01:18
and what sound can you hear?
26
78720
2880
at anong tunog ang maririnig mo?
01:21
Again, you can hear that very hard 'g' sound.
27
81600
3880
Muli, maririnig mo ang napakatigas na 'g' na tunog.
01:25
spaghetti
28
85480
2840
spaghetti
01:28
So when 'gh' is in the middle of a word
29
88320
3800
Kaya kapag ang 'gh' ay nasa gitna ng isang salita
01:32
it is sometimes pronounced /g/
30
92120
3760
minsan ay binibigkas ang /g/
01:35
but then if we take the third word,
31
95880
3040
ngunit pagkatapos ay kung kukuha tayo ng pangatlong salita,
01:38
straight
32
98920
1720
tuwid
01:40
again 'gh' is also in the middle of the word
33
100640
3920
ulit ang 'gh' ay nasa gitna rin ng salita
01:44
but the sound is different.
34
104560
2520
ngunit iba ang tunog.
01:47
It's what we call a silent 'gh'.
35
107080
3520
Ito ang tinatawag nating tahimik na 'gh'.
01:50
'straight' you can't actually hear anything
36
110600
4440
'straight' wala ka talagang maririnig
01:55
okay so sometimes,
37
115040
2720
okay kaya minsan,
01:57
it's when gh is in the middle  of the word it's silent.
38
117760
5760
kapag gh ang nasa gitna ng salita ay tahimik.
02:03
Now our next example is a very interesting case.
39
123520
4560
Ngayon ang aming susunod na halimbawa ay isang napaka-kagiliw-giliw na kaso.
02:08
It's the word 'enough'.
40
128080
2840
Ito ay ang salitang 'sapat'.
02:10
And as you can see
41
130920
1560
At sa nakikita mong
02:12
'gh' is at the end of the word
42
132480
4120
'gh' ay nasa dulo ng salita
02:16
and what can you hear?
43
136600
1960
at ano ang maririnig mo?
02:18
Can you hear a 'g' sound or a silent 'gh'?
44
138560
4720
Naririnig mo ba ang isang 'g' na tunog o isang tahimik na 'gh'?
02:23
Well, no, actually you can hear an 'f' sound
45
143280
4080
Well, hindi, actually nakakarinig ka ng 'f' na tunog
02:27
enough
46
147360
2160
kaya
02:29
So sometimes with some words in English,
47
149520
3640
kung minsan sa ilang salita sa English,
02:33
'gh' is placed at the end of the word
48
153160
3400
'gh' ay inilalagay sa dulo ng salita
02:36
and is pronounced 'f' like enough.
49
156560
4840
at binibigkas na 'f' na parang sapat na.
02:41
Our next example is the word 'high'
50
161400
4150
Ang aming susunod na halimbawa ay ang salitang 'high'
02:45
and again 'gh' is at the end of a word
51
165550
4620
at muli ang 'gh' ay nasa dulo ng isang salita
02:50
but the sound is not an 'f' sound this time
52
170170
4970
ngunit ang tunog ay hindi isang 'f' na tunog sa pagkakataong ito
02:55
it's a silent gh
53
175140
2562
ito ay isang tahimik na gh
02:57
high
54
177702
1055
high
02:58
so sometimes 'gh' placed at  the end of a word is silent.
55
178757
6563
kaya minsan 'gh' inilalagay sa dulo ng isang salita ay tahimik.
03:05
And our very last example was 'longhand'.
56
185320
5000
At ang pinakahuling halimbawa namin ay 'longhand'.
03:10
Now with longhand, as you know I'm sure it's a compound word 
57
190320
7400
Now with longhand, as you know I'm sure it's a compound word
03:17
so it's an association of two different words it's a special case.
58
197720
4640
so it's an association of two different words it's a special case.
03:22
So in this case, the sound is not 'gh' 
59
202360
3600
Kaya't sa kasong ito, ang tunog ay hindi 'gh'
03:25
the two letters are separate because you first have the word long 
60
205960
4520
ang dalawang titik ay magkahiwalay dahil una mo ang salitang mahaba
03:30
and then you have the word hand so you can actually hear both sounds 
61
210480
5680
at pagkatapos ay mayroon kang salitang kamay upang aktwal mong marinig ang parehong mga tunog
03:36
in a separate way longhand.
62
216160
3776
sa magkahiwalay na paraan nang longhand.
03:39
Okay.
63
219936
1659
Sige.
03:41
So I hope you remember when 'gh' is at the beginning of a word
64
221595
5445
Kaya sana tandaan mo kapag ang 'gh' ay nasa simula ng isang salita
03:47
most of the time it's a hard 'g' sound like ghost.
65
227040
4440
kadalasan ito ay isang matigas na 'g' na tunog na parang multo.
03:51
When it's in the middle most of the time it's silent
66
231480
4187
Kapag nasa gitna most of the time tahimik na
03:55
like 'straight' but not all the time
67
235667
3053
parang 'straight' pero hindi sa lahat ng oras
03:58
we have examples of a heart  'g' sound like spaghetti.
68
238720
3840
may mga halimbawa tayo ng heart 'g' sound na parang spaghetti.
04:02
When it's at the end of the word,
69
242560
3038
Kapag ito ay nasa dulo ng salita,
04:05
most of the time it's silent like high
70
245598
3562
kadalasan ito ay tahimik na parang mataas
04:09
but not all the time we have example...  examples sorry of an 'f' sound like enough. 
71
249160
8040
ngunit hindi sa lahat ng oras ay mayroon tayong halimbawa ... mga halimbawa ng paumanhin ng isang 'f' na tunog ay sapat na.
04:17
And finally we have compound nouns which are a special case, okay. 
72
257200
6720
At sa wakas mayroon kaming mga tambalang pangngalan na isang espesyal na kaso, okay.
04:23
Well, let's now review other words and find out how this 'gh' sound is pronounced.
73
263920
7240
Well, suriin natin ngayon ang iba pang mga salita at alamin kung paano binibigkas ang tunog na 'gh' na ito.
04:31
Let's get started guys please repeat after me  
74
271160
3520
Let's start guys please repeat after me
04:34
it's very important that you practice.
75
274680
3520
napakaimportante na magpractice kayo.
04:38

Let's continue with the 'f' sound this time.

315680
3600
Ipagpatuloy natin ang tunog na 'f' sa pagkakataong ito.
05:19
Repeat after me.

And now let's look at words  containing the silent 'gh'.
93
341760
5440
At ngayon tingnan natin ang mga salitang naglalaman ng tahimik na 'gh'.
05:47
It's a big list.
94
347200
1920
Ito ay isang malaking listahan.
05:49
Now listen very carefully
95
349120
2160
Ngayon makinig nang mabuti
05:51

mabuti
07:25
And now a few examples of compound nouns.
123
445680
4151
At ngayon ay ilang halimbawa ng tambalang pangngalan.
07:29
Now because compound nouns are two separate nouns,
124
449831
5529
Ngayon dahil ang mga tambalang pangngalan ay dalawang magkahiwalay na pangngalan,
07:35
you can clearly hear the sounds of the letter 'g'
125
455360
3320
malinaw mong maririnig ang mga tunog ng titik 'g'
07:38
and the letter 'h'.
126
458680
2120
at titik 'h'.
07:40
Okay, repeat after me.
127
460800

Okay, ulitin pagkatapos ko.

08:03
And finally, let's practice four sentences.
133
483160
4320
At panghuli, magsanay tayo ng apat na pangungusap.
08:07
Now remember, be very careful
134
487480
2520
Ngayon tandaan, maging maingat
08:10
listen very carefully
135
490000
2080
makinig nang mabuti
08:12
and try to remember how these  'gh' sounds are pronounced.
136
492080
6320
at subukang tandaan kung paano binibigkas ang mga tunog na 'gh' na ito.
08:18
Repeat after me.
137
498400
2320
Ulitin pagkatapos ko.
08:20
The ghost had a light cough.
138
500720
8570
Bahagyang ubo ang multo.
08:29
My neighbor had enough spaghetti.
139
509290
7910
Ang aking kapitbahay ay may sapat na spaghetti.
08:37
His daughter went to the ghetto at night.
140
517200
8440
Ang kanyang anak na babae ay pumunta sa ghetto sa gabi.
08:45
We ought to laugh at the neighbor.
141
525640
6960
Dapat nating pagtawanan ang kapitbahay.
08:52
Great job guys.
142
532600
1920
Magandang trabaho guys.
08:54
One final word I want to talk to you about
143
534520
2880
Ang isang huling salita na gusto kong pag-usapan sa iyo
08:57
is the word hiccup.
144
537400
2240
ay ang salitang hiccup.
08:59
Now most of the time the  word hiccup is spelled c-u-p
145
539640
5360
Ngayon kadalasan ang salitang hiccup ay binabaybay na cup
09:05
okay the American spelling
146
545000
1720
okay ang American spelling
09:06
and it's pronounced hiccup
147
546720
2880
at ito ay binibigkas na sinok
09:09
but if you ever go to the UK,
148
549600
2120
ngunit kung sakaling pumunta ka sa UK,
09:11
you might see the old British spelling.
149
551720
3160
maaari mong makita ang lumang British spelling.
09:14
It's spelled with 'gh'
150
554880
2400
Binabaybay ito ng 'gh'
09:17
and it's still pronounced hiccup.
151
557280
2120
at binibigkas pa rin ito ng hiccup.
09:19
It's the same pronunciation it's the p sound
152
559400
3000
Ito ay ang parehong pagbigkas ito ay ang p tunog
09:22
but the spelling is different  so that's an interesting one.
153
562400
3960
ngunit ang spelling ay naiiba kaya iyon ay isang kawili-wili.
09:26

156
570040
2120
kung paano bigkasin ang mga salitang ito

containing the letters 'g' and 'h'.
157

3080
na naglalaman ng mga titik na 'g' at 'h'.
