Reposting one of our older videos today for our new listners!
Some feelings only exist in Tagalog. Gigil is the urge to squeeze something unbearably cute, like a chubby baby's cheeks. Tampo is the quiet sulking you do when someone hurts your feelings and you refuse to say why. English will hand you five words for each one and still miss.
In this episode Kloe walks through six Tagalog words that English borrows awkwardly or can't say at all, with stories from growing up in Manila that show you exactly when Filipinos reach for them. By the end you'll have words for feelings you have had your whole life and never had a name for.
Words in this episode: gigil, kilig, tampo, lihi, kulob, bahala na.
