‘Sa Lahat Pong Nag-Great ng Happiest Birthday Ko Last Year sagkod sa Aga, Salamáton Po Talaga, Promise!’

Salamaton daa. 

Salamáton? Anong ‘salamaton’? Anong gustong sabihon?  

So, at least in Bikol (and Bicol), the plain word salamat has now become an adjective? Is that it?

Since when? May Executive Order na pinaluwàs? Kan suarin pa? Since the day you first used it? Since your last post?

“What is the meaning of this!?”

Garo palan magayon? Kaya magayonon. A, OK: beautifulon, bakong pangiton? 

Halangkaw po siya? Dai po.  Halangkawonon. Six -footéron po.

So if the plain word salamat is now an adjective,

then:

Salamat. Payak? Salamaton. Pahambing? Salamatonon. Pasukdol? Bakò nin Pa-Polangui? 

Iyo na palan ini ngonyan an lengwahe ta?

So garo “HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU, BFF!” 

Why is it superlative?

Let me see. Happier than last year and next year? Every year but not this one? Why happiest? Since when and until when? Ever Since the World Began? Since time immemorial? Bowed by the waist of Century Tuna he's leaner than his horse who grazes on the ground?

Why is it in the superlative, really? Where is the point of comparison in that plain statement?  Is this not what you mean: May you have the happiest birthday of all your birthdays. Ever.

Amen. Alleluiah! 

Raise the rope! (Answer the question in complete sentence! Otherwise, give me two weeks! Drop!)

Or “HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN.”

Ano po? Come again?

“Happiest birthday in heaven” daa ngani!

Ah. So, people are now born in heaven? Since when? Since the day they died? O, dai man daw D-Day? Bako ni itong D-day the music died? So bye bye miss American KaPie-kapay (Mayo na baga sa White House si Ronald Trumf)?

Or CONDOLENCE PO SA NAMATAY.

Sinong namatay ate? Anong nangyari sa kanya? Kawawasaki naman. Condolence po to the dead. 

Makuliton talaga, ay. Kundol patola upo't kalabasa at saka mayroon pa:

And rest in peace “To the Beraved familiarity. You all, rest in pieces. Ay, piece palan.

Such travesties in the language being committed today.

It's just so Oak Ward, not the Molave Ward, near the Nurses Station where WiFi is great kaya salamaton po talaga. Sorryhon po talaga ta dai kaya me maka move-onon.

Salamaton--

Pa‘no daw kun ini na lang:

Salamat na marhay.

Salamat talaga. 

O magsublì sa iba:

Daghang salamat.

Maraming salamat.

Sawà na gayod sa “Thank you very much.” Cliche na gayod—ta autotext man na yan sa yahoo sagkod gmail?   

Thanks so much.

Many many thanks.

Cliche man giraray baga.
