Kumusta sounds like Como esta? Means "How are you? There are some words taken from Spanish language... especially some provinces in the Philippines, they speak that language... Cebu, Dumaguete... etc.. the dialects or native language called "chabakano" mixed filipino/spanish. Bintana (Ventana, window), Pwede (Puede, can I), Silya (Silla, chair) Kunin (Coja, you take)... etc..

I´d like to appologize for sharing OUR personal thoughts here!
As for an idea, I´d like to share this for those who might see Asian as friendly people. I believe they are and, of course, I -as another Latin American- am clumsy or a big mouth (just surprised at hearing such good news I have read).
So I hope this things could be viewed in a better sense, just two "boys" talking publicly their joy...
Rep at this: "For China, the females there walk BEHIND their husband or boss, never side by side." Here, is the opposite, lately I see girl ahead and males behind. The reason is safety. These own supermarkets or shops, and they have the eyes of their ladies or girls.
While I was in other sites, I learned some felt disgusted when certain people claimed many were seeking the US visa and, as you might have known, US is not heaven (not an international fortress) and here is were true friendship lies: Telling the truth as it is.
That reminds me that day when many were seeking Jesus and he told them clearly: "Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied! John 6:26
So true friendship should be laid in solid ground.

Hey jer! What a surprise! Let´s share on that (you will know it for sure). I never thought WE have too many things in common. Just allow me to say. We also have a word for "Chabacano", it means something like "slang" but "popular". Babiloo says this: "chabacano,-a
adj pey (de mal gusto) cheap"
So, in my own language thought, I would not use those words, because in English they might sound offensive, though, my own language, it is not, except I meant "someone is unpopular, or used to use too mauch slang".
according to what you´ve taught us Jer, I would like to have you as a frind. If you are from Cebu, Dumaguete, etc. I´d like to ask you to let me know. I´m not too cheap (Ha! Ha! Ha!) But I´m not -certainly- expensive.
(Here I laughed at the ambiguity or dualism it might have when translated).

I wish you might read what this post said: http://christianchat.com/blogs/secularhermit/4638-cultures-hmong.html
Someone felt Asian are part of the lost tribes of israle and, by reading those links online, any woould believe Hmong are somewaht Jewish.
In fact, when I read those things, I felt I liked that culture more.
