Tagalog Tuesday
Introducing yourself to someone? Why not do it in Tagalog?!
“Anong pangalan mo?” (AH-nohng pahn-GAH-lahn moh?)- “What is your name?”
“ Ang pangalan ko ay _______.” (ahng pahn-GAH-lahn koh eye___) “My name is ______”
Tagalog Tuesday
Hey Barkada!
Anyone ever ask you a question you just don’t know the answer to? Just answer with “Hindi ko alam” (Heen-DEE koh ah-LAHM) which translates to “I don’t know”! They’ll be so impressed with your linguistic skills they’ll have to let you off the hook!
As always, send us any phrases you’d like to share! nubarkada.tumblr.com/submit
Tagalog Tuesday
Today’s Tagalog Tuesday is a two-for-one! “Salamat” (sah-LAH-maht)-”Thank you” “Walang anuman” (WAH-lahng ah-new-mahn)-”You’re welcome” Some of the most important expressions involving gratitude in everyday life!

Hey all its Tagalog Tuesday's again! Since this week has been really hot why not cool down at the beach?

Today’s phrase? Magandang Araw (Ma-gahn-dang AH-row) Good day!
A simple phrase, but it’s one of the most common Tagalog greetings!

Mabuhay friends!
It’s Tuesday so we figured why not bring back Tumblr’s Tagalog Tuesday! Every week we’ll be bringing you a word or phrase in Tagalog to add to your vocabulary. Practice enough and we’ll all be lingsuists in no time! (^:
Today’s phrase is: Hindi sapat ang isang wika lamang (Hin-dee sap-at ang ee-sang wee-ka lah-mang) One language is never enough
A phrase that couldn’t be any truer! Have a phrase or word you want to share or learn? Let us know! http://nubarkada.tumblr.com/submit
New Faces, Old Traditions, One Barkada
This past weekend we celebrated the Northeastern Asian American Center's 10th Anniversary. During this special event, many Barkada alumni came back to Northeastern to celebrate, during both the annually held Celebr(Asian) and the 10th Anniversary Gala. While many things have changed within Barkada, such as the size of the organization, (with a whopping 25+ newbie class) tradition will always remain tradition and Barkada will always remain Barkada.
Barkada as a student group lends itself to the origin of its name--Tagalog for a "group of friends." A word and group built on the selflessness of establishing and growing community, quite simply, we are a "barkada" and a family. We all come from different backgrounds, states, countries, you name it. Despite this, Barkada will always remain constant. We always remember the values and traditions that have brought us to where we are today. The emphasis of family, friends, and community from the Filipino culture are what drives us as a student organization.
Barkada continues to run its BIGGIEsmalls program, eat plenty of food at family dinners (sometimes even Kamayan), dance its butts off, and be the LOUDEST and most SUPPORTIVE group at every chance we get. These are our friends. This is our family. And this, is our Barkada.
Thank you, everyone, for all the support you have given us through the years. Whether you're an oldie or a newbie, you will always be a part of this Barkada.
Peace. Love. Barkada.
