Kumusta. Ako si Sarah.
00:02
And I'm going to explain some euphemisms to you for the word 'pregnant'.
1
2175
4031
At ipapaliwanag ko sa iyo ang ilang euphemisms para sa salitang 'buntis'.
00:06
So maybe if your friend or somebody is pregnant, people will ask and you'll say, "Oh, she's pregnant".
2
6206
6044
Kaya siguro kung buntis ang kaibigan mo o ang isang tao, magtatanong ang mga tao at sasabihin mo, "Oh, buntis siya".
00:12
But the word 'pregnant' might be a little bit too direct.
3
12250
3412
Ngunit ang salitang 'buntis' ay maaaring masyadong direkta.
00:15
So we have some euphemisms that we can use to  say 'pregnant' without saying 'pregnant'.
4
15662
5272
Kaya mayroon tayong mga euphemism na magagamit natin para sabihing 'buntis' nang hindi sinasabing 'buntis'.
00:20
So, let's look at the board.
5
20934
2089
Kaya, tingnan natin ang board.
00:23
So, right up front, "She's pregnant."
6
23023
4162
Kaya, sa harapan, "Siya ay buntis."
00:27
That is how you would say it. And everybody knows what it means.
7
27185
3314
Ganyan mo sasabihin. At alam ng lahat kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito.
00:30
"She's pregnant."
8
30499
1805
"Siya ay buntis."
00:32
Down here are euphemisms.
9
32304
2943
Dito ay mga euphemism.
00:35
So the most common one,
10
35247
1701
Kaya ang pinakakaraniwan,
00:36
"She's expecting."
11
36948
1724
"She's expecting."
00:38
So she's expecting a baby in the future.
12
38672
2473
Kaya't naghihintay siya ng isang sanggol sa hinaharap.
00:41
You can just say, "Oh, she's expecting," and everybody knows  what that means.
13
41145
3993
Masasabi mo lang, "Oh, umaasa siya," at alam ng lahat kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito.
00:45
Very, very common.
14
45138
2082
Very, very common.
00:47
Number two.
15
47220
1419
Bilang dalawa.
00:48
"She's preggers."
16
48639
1308
"Siya ay preggers."
00:49
So preggers is like a shortened form of pregnant.
17
49947
3455
Kaya ang preggers ay parang pinaikling anyo ng buntis.
00:53
It's less serious. It's kind of funny.
18
53402
2895
Hindi gaanong seryoso. Medyo nakakatawa.
00:56
"She's preggers."
19
56297
1880
"Siya ay preggers."
00:58
"Eating for two."
20
58177
1498
"Kumakain ng dalawa."
00:59
"Eating for two," is she's got a lot of food on her plate.
21
59675
3799
"Eating for two," ang dami niyang pagkain sa plato niya.
01:03
She's eating for her and she's eating for the baby.
22
63474
2891
Siya ay kumakain para sa kanya at siya ay kumakain para sa sanggol.
01:06
"She's eating for two."
23
66365
2635
"Kumakain siya para sa dalawa."
01:09
These two are idioms.
24
69000
2210
Ang dalawang ito ay mga idyoma.
01:11
So "Knocked up."
25
71210
2166
Kaya "Knocked up."
01:13
"Knocked up," is a little bit negative.
26
73376
2348
"Knocked up," medyo negatibo.
01:15
In the past, it was used for somebody who's unmarried.
27
75724
3609
Noong nakaraan, ito ay ginagamit para sa isang taong walang asawa.
01:19
So, "She's knocked up."
28
79333
1809
Kaya, "Natumba siya."
01:21
The baby wasn't expected. She's not married. It's a little bit of a surprise.
29
81142
4752
Hindi inaasahan ang sanggol. Hindi siya kasal. Ito ay isang maliit na sorpresa.
01:25
So that wasn't a good feeling with 'knocked up,' but now people say it all the time.
30
85894
5618
Kaya't hindi iyon magandang pakiramdam na may 'knocked up,' ngunit ngayon ay sinasabi ito ng mga tao sa lahat ng oras.
01:31
So, "She's knocked up." It's not negative anymore.
31
91512
3680
Kaya, "Natumba siya." Hindi na ito negatibo.
01:35
"She has a bun in the oven."
32
95192
2315
"May tinapay siya sa oven."
01:37
This one's kind of funny. So you need to imagine that the woman's body is an oven.
33
97507
5181
Ang isang ito ay uri ng nakakatawa. Kaya kailangan mong isipin na ang katawan ng babae ay isang oven.
01:42
And inside there is a baby. The baby is the bread.
34
102688
4147
At sa loob ay may isang sanggol. Ang sanggol ay ang tinapay.
01:46
It's a little bun, just a little bun. And it's going to grow.
35
106835
3642
Ito ay isang maliit na tinapay, isang maliit na tinapay lamang. At ito ay lalago.
01:50
And babies grow, bread grows in the oven. So 'bun' is the baby 'in the oven', which is the 'stomach'.
36
110477
8682
At lumalaki ang mga sanggol, lumalaki ang tinapay sa oven. Kaya 'bun' ay ang sanggol 'sa oven', na kung saan ay ang 'tiyan'.
01:59
So those are euphemisms for pregnancy. I hope they help you. I'll see you next time.
37
119159
5107
Kaya iyon ay mga euphemism para sa pagbubuntis. Sana matulungan ka nila. Magkita tayo sa susunod.
