RG: Hi guys, it's great to see all of you here today!
J: Hi, Miss Rich Girl! Kamusta ka na?
B: Hello, gurl! Ano, chika?
Jo: Oy, pare! Anong balita?
RG: Wow, it's interesting to hear all of these different sociolects! J, you
speak in the jejemon language, right?
J: Yes, Miss Rich Girl. Jejemon is a sociolect that uses a lot of symbols and
numbers in place of letters. It's kind of like a secret code that we use with
our friends.
B: And I speak in bekimon, which is a mix of Tagalog, English, and gay
lingo. We use it to express ourselves and our culture as gays.
Jo: Ako naman, pare, I speak in jologs. It's a mix of Tagalog, English, and
street slang. We use it to show that we're proud of our roots.
RG: I see. It's amazing how each sociolect represents a unique culture and
way of communicating. I'm really interested to learn more about each one
of them.
J: That's cool, Miss Rich Girl! We can teach you some basic jejemon
phrases like "Eow poh, miztir" which means "Hello, Miss" or "wazzup poh"
which means "What's up?"
B: And we can teach you some basic bekimon phrases like "Keri lang, teh"
which means "It's okay, girl" or "Ang bongga mo, gurl" which means "You're
amazing, girl!"
Jo: And I can teach you some basic jologs phrases like "Di bale nang
jologs, basta happy" which means "It's okay to be jologs as long as you're
happy" or "Kaya mo yan, pare" which means "You can do it, man!"
RG: Wow, thanks for teaching me all of these phrases! I can already tell
that each sociolect has its own unique personality and flavor. It's really
fascinating.
J: Yes, Miss Rich Girl. Each sociolect is a reflection of the people who use
it and their culture. It's important to respect and appreciate them all.
B: Tama, gurl! Ang importante ay may pagkakaunawaan at respeto sa
bawat isa.
Jo: Ika nga, pare. Hindi hadlang ang language sa tunay na pagkakaibigan.
RG: Absolutely! It's great that we can all learn from each other and
appreciate our differences. Thanks for teaching me so much about Filipino
sociolects, guys!
J: No problem, Miss Rich Girl! Anytime you need help, just let us know!
B: Keri lang, gurl! We're always here to help!
Jo: Game na, pare! Cheers to diversity and friendship!
RG: Cheers! Mabuhay ang iba't ibang sociolect ng Filipino
Jo: At dahil jan let’s celebrate and mag budots ta!!
