Waiting for a Typhoon! (And Tagalog Lesson No. 2)

With the typhoon, we have time for your next Tagalog lesson:

ba                 = do

ba ba (slow)       = chin

ba-ba (quick)      = down  

ba-ba-ba           = going down

ba-ba-ba-ba        = you're going down

May this help you when you, too, come to the Philippines.

Here comes Typhoon 31W, which is called "Haiwan" in the Philippines, "Yolanda", elsewhere.  The rain started on our way back from work.
