how to say stand and sit in Bicol (filipino dialect)
tindog means to stand or to get up
tukaw means to sit

a funny way to remember this is a joke about an english man pointing and counting "ten dogs" and the Bicolano who heard it thought he was being asked to stand.

while an american who was visiting a farm in a rural area points at "two cows" was mistakenly heard as telling the farmers to sit.

im interested in learning japanese. if you have a joke or a tip about basic japanese words kindly post here. im not a gold member so basically i can't contact you.

dyos mabalos!

Language pair: English; Filipino (Tagalog)
