Kanyaman na ning lutu mo! – You're cooking is good!.Tabalu keka- literally "I don't know with you." (expression).Malagu ka talaga! – You are really beautiful.But for those who want to practice their skill and accent you may try singing a modern Kapampangan pop song entitled 'You made it, abe" by 1DELACREW here. Let's help them :) For travelers and beginners here are the common phrases that you may use with your interactions with a native Kapampangan speaker. In this article, Kapampangan and Pangasinense are few of the dying dialects here in the Philippines. Languages for me is a mirror of ones culture. Yes, endangered species are being helped by environmentalist and NGOs efforts for a much better chances of survival, but what about the very truth of preserving the languages of our dwindling aboriginal and tribal communities? Very very rare you would see groups or individuals who aim in preserving this. I think that was a photo excerpt from a newspaper. Here's a shocker, just read a magazine, or was it even a magazine? LoL. In all aspect, even in languages, we must have diversity but individuals must learn to love what they know and treasure it to be able to provide something for the new generations to come. I am a person of diversity and will promote diversity.
