Hi, everybody.

Kumusta, lahat.
00:04
I'm Esther and in this video I'm going to teach you how to ask someone for permission
1
4440
6960
Ako si Esther at sa video na ito ituturo ko sa iyo kung paano humingi ng permiso sa isang tao
00:11
Okay so before I teach you that,
2
11400
2960
Okay kaya bago ko ituro sa iyo iyon,
00:14
let's first talk about what permission means.
3
14360
4020
pag-usapan muna natin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pahintulot.
00:18
Okay so...
4
18380
1580
Okay so...
00:19
When you want to ask someone if it's okay to do something, you're asking for permission.
5
19960
8080
Kapag gusto mong magtanong sa isang tao kung okay lang bang gawin ang isang bagay, humihingi ka ng permiso.
00:28
Okay again, you want to do something, you don't know if it's okay, so you ask someone.
6
28040
6600
Okay na naman, may gusto kang gawin, hindi mo alam kung okay lang, kaya nagtanong ka sa isang tao.
00:34
For example, maybe you want to borrow something.
7
34660
3880
Halimbawa, baka gusto mong humiram ng isang bagay.
00:38
Then you should ask someone.
8
38540
2960
Pagkatapos ay dapat kang magtanong sa isang tao.
00:41
If you just take it that's stealing, right?
9
41500
3200
Kung kukunin mo lang yan ay pagnanakaw, di ba?
00:44
So you have to ask.
10
44700
1560
Kaya kailangan mong magtanong.
00:46
Is it okay? Alright?
11
46260
2240
okay lang ba? Sige?
00:48
So there are three ways to ask for permission in English.
12
48500
4800
Kaya may tatlong paraan para humingi ng pahintulot sa Ingles.
00:53
The first way is to say, "Can I...?" "Can I...?" Okay.
13
53300
5890
Ang unang paraan ay ang sabihing, "Maaari ba akong...?" "Pwede ba...?" Sige.
00:59
The second way is "Could I...?" "Could I...?"
14
59190
4770
Ang pangalawang paraan ay "Maaari ko bang...?" "Pwede bang...?"
01:03
And the third way is, "May I...?" "May I...?" Okay.
15
63960
5550
At ang pangatlong paraan ay, "Pwede bang...?" "Pwede ba...?" Sige.
01:09
So 'can I', 'could I', and 'may I' are all good ways to ask for permission.
16
69510
7410
Kaya't ang 'pwede ba', 'kaya ko', at 'nawa'y lahat ng magandang paraan para humingi ng pahintulot.
01:16
But the third one, 'may I', is more polite. Okay.
17
76920
5020
Ngunit ang pangatlo, 'may I', ay mas magalang. Sige.
01:21
So if you want to ask somebody who has more power,
18
81940
4280
So if you want to ask somebody who has more power,
01:26
maybe your parents, may be your teacher,
19
86220
3520
maybe your parents, may be your teacher,
01:29
then you should say 'may I'.
20
89740
2260
then you should say 'may I'.
01:32
Maybe even to somebody that you don't know very well,
21
92000
3540
Siguro kahit sa isang tao na hindi mo masyadong kilala,
01:35
it's better to say may I because again it's more polite.
22
95540
3740
mas mabuting sabihin na may I dahil muli ito ay mas magalang.
01:39
So let's look at these examples.
23
99300
3100
Kaya tingnan natin ang mga halimbawang ito.
01:42
Okay so I've written 'can I', 'could I', and 'may I' on the board.
24
102400
5420
Okay kaya nagsulat ako ng 'pwede ba', 'pwede ba', at 'may I' sa board.
01:47
Remember, after these three, you have to say a verb.
25
107820
4740
Tandaan, pagkatapos ng tatlong ito, kailangan mong magsabi ng isang pandiwa.
01:52
Okay so let's look at the verbs.
26
112560
2460
Okay kaya tingnan natin ang mga pandiwa.
01:55
'help' 'see' 'have' 'call' 'borrow' 'go' 'speak' and 'go' again.
27
115020
11020
'tulong' 'makita' 'may' 'tawagan' 'hiram' 'pumunta' 'magsalita' at 'pumunta' muli.
02:06
Okay so I know I went through that a little bit quickly but
28
126040
3520
Okay so I know nalampasan ko yun ng konti pero
02:09
we're going to go through it slowly now.
29
129569
2371
dahan-dahan na natin ngayon.
02:11
Okay so here's what we'll do.
30
131940
2500
Okay kaya eto ang gagawin natin.
02:14
I'm going to read and try to switch some around. Okay?
31
134440
3620
Magbabasa ako at susubukan kong lumipat sa paligid. Sige?
02:18
So... "Can I help you?"
32
138060
3160
Kaya... "Maaari ba kitang tulungan?"
02:21
"Can I help you?"
33
141220
2540
"Maaari ba kitang matulungan?"
02:23
let's try that a little bit faster.
34
143760
2540
subukan natin iyan ng mas mabilis.
02:26
"Can I help you?"
35
146300
1820
"Maaari ba kitang matulungan?"
02:28
"Can I help you?"
36
148240
1940
"Maaari ba kitang matulungan?"
02:30
Now remember, you can also say 'could I' and 'may I'.
37
150180
3980
Ngayon tandaan, maaari mo ring sabihin ang 'pwede ko ba' at 'may I'.
02:34
For example, if you're walking through a department store,
38
154160
4180
Halimbawa, kung naglalakad ka sa isang department store,
02:38
and the salesperson comes to you,
39
158340
3720
at lumapit sa iyo ang salesperson,
02:42
they would probably say, "May I help you?" because they want to be polite to the customer.
40
162060
6380
malamang na sasabihin nila, "Maaari ba kitang tulungan?" dahil gusto nilang maging magalang sa customer.
02:48
So again, "May I help you?"
41
168440
3460
Kaya muli, "Maaari ba kitang tulungan?"
02:51
Okay.
42
171900
1500
Sige.
02:53
"Can I see you again?"
43
173400
3340
"Pwede ba kitang makita ulit?"
02:56
"Can I see you again?"
44
176740
2580
"Pwede ba kitang makita ulit?"
02:59
A little bit faster.
45
179320
1720
Medyo mabilis.
03:01
"Can I see you again?"
46
181040
2000
"Pwede ba kitang makita ulit?"
03:03
Maybe you like someone you met them and you like them
47
183040
3440
Baka may gusto ka sa taong nakilala mo at gusto mo siya
03:06
and you want to see them again next time,
48
186480
2500
at gusto mo silang makita ulit sa susunod,
03:08
So you say, "Can I see you again?"
49
188980
3300
Kaya sasabihin mo, "Pwede ba kitang makita ulit?"
03:12
Okay.
50
192280
1720
Sige.
03:14
"Can I have some water?"
51
194000
2920
"Pwede ba akong makahingi ng tubig?"
03:16
"Can I have some water?"
52
196920
2880
"Pwede ba akong makahingi ng tubig?"
03:19
A little bit faster.
53
199800
1300
Medyo mabilis.
03:21
"Can I have some water?"
54
201100
2780
"Pwede ba akong makahingi ng tubig?"
03:23
Okay.
55
203880
980
Sige.
03:24
Let's try a couple with 'could'.
56
204980
2520
Subukan natin ang isang pares na may 'maaari'.
03:27
"Could I call you later?"
57
207500
3120
"Pwede ba kitang tawagan mamaya?"
03:30
"Could I call you later?"
58
210620
2760
"Pwede ba kitang tawagan mamaya?"
03:33
Again, remember, you can use all three, but we're doing 'could'.
59
213380
4380
Muli, tandaan, maaari mong gamitin ang lahat ng tatlo, ngunit ginagawa namin ang 'maaari'.
03:37
"Could I call you later?"
60
217760
2240
"Pwede ba kitang tawagan mamaya?"
03:40
"Could I borrow some money?"
61
220000
2400
"Pwede bang humiram ng pera?"
03:42
Okay. You usually borrow money from a friend or somebody that you know,
62
222400
5600
Sige. Karaniwan kang humihiram ng pera sa isang kaibigan o isang taong kilala mo,
03:48
so that's why it's better to say maybe 'can I' or 'could I'.
63
228000
3720
kaya mas mabuting sabihin na baka 'pwede ko ba' o 'kaya ko ba'.
03:51
"Could I borrow some money?"
64
231720
2440
"Pwede bang humiram ng pera?"
03:54
Okay.
65
234160
880
Sige.
03:55
"Could I go?"
66
235040
2000
"Pwede ba akong pumunta?"
03:57
"Could I go?"
67
237040
1380
"Pwede ba akong pumunta?"
03:58
You want to leave, so you're asking if it's okay.
68
238420
3520
Gusto mong umalis, kaya tinatanong mo kung okay lang.
04:01
"Could I go?"
69
241940
1780
"Pwede ba akong pumunta?"
04:03
Okay and remember 'may I' is polite okay
70
243720
3500
Okay and remember 'may I' is polite okay
04:07
you want to say that to someone who's a little bit more important,
71
247220
3840
you want to say that to someone who's a little bit more important,
04:11
maybe someone you don't know.
72
251060
2080
maybe someone you don't know.
04:13
Again you would use 'may I'.
73
253140
1920
Muli ay gagamitin mo ang 'may I'.
04:15
So "May I speak to mr. Kim?"
74
255060
3300
Kaya "Pwede ko bang makausap si mr. Kim?"
04:18
Maybe you called his office, okay, so you say,
75
258360
3340
Baka tumawag ka sa opisina niya, okay, kaya sasabihin mo,
04:21
"May I speak to mr. Kim?"
76
261700
2820
"Pwede ko bang makausap si mr. Kim?"
04:24
And the last one -
77
264520
1440
At ang huli -
04:25
"May I go to the bathroom?"
78
265960
2260
"Maaari ba akong pumunta sa banyo?"
04:28
This one is maybe if you're asking a teacher.
79
268220
3640
Ito ay marahil kung ikaw ay nagtatanong sa isang guro.
04:31
Right? You're in class and you have to go, you can ask a teacher
80
271860
3660
tama? Nasa klase ka at kailangan mong pumunta, maaari kang magtanong sa isang guro
04:35
"May I go to the bathroom?"
81
275520
2140
"Maaari ba akong pumunta sa banyo?"
04:37
Again, 'can I' 'could' 'can' and 'could' are both okay.
82
277660
4780
Muli, 'pwede ko' 'kaya' 'kaya' at 'maaari' ay parehong okay.
04:42
But maybe it's more polite....
83
282440
2740
Pero siguro mas magalang....
04:45
If you want to be polite, you should say,
84
285180
2400
Kung gusto mong maging magalang, sabihin mo,
04:47
"May I go to the bathroom?"
85
287700
1360
"Pwede ba akong pumunta sa banyo?"
04:49
And I'm sure the teacher will like that better because you're being polite.
86
289060
4000
At sigurado akong mas magugustuhan iyon ng guro dahil magalang ka.
04:53
Okay. So...
87
293060
1480
Sige. Kaya...
04:54
In this video we learned three ways to ask for permission.

294540
4200
