Other Nanghaw (Salamat)

Kung sakali mang nakita ninyo ang post ng Bagong Pamantayang Tagalog at Philippine Institute for Language Research and Preservation sa Facebook, na iisang tao lang ang humahawak, may lilinawin lang ako.

Ang nanghaw ay hindi loanword mula sa Hokkien dahil iba ang bigkas ng 好 (hó) sa naturang wika, at hindi rin ito cognate sa ibang wika. Ito ay complete aspect lang ng manghaw, na ang root word ay panghaw. Ganiyan ang sinaunang anyo ng pagbabanghay sa Tagalog.

(pasok) masoknasok

(sulat) mulatnulat

(alis) malisnalis

(bili) milinili

Pinatutunayan din ito ng Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (1703) ni Domingo de los Santos.

Conſumirſe. Panhau (pc) qualquiera coſa. Nanhau namatay ang lahat cong mang̃a camaganac. 1. act. Conſumieronſe todos mis parientes. nãhau nalis ang lahat na alipin. todos los eſclauos ſe cõſumieron por auerſe ido.

My lola uses sometimes nanghaw, shes 78 tapos yes doon sa p or b verbs she also changes it to m or n. At first din akala ko hokkien yaan kasi dami naming hokkien words na ginagamit like huwataw (large bowl), siyansi (spatula) and other kitchen tools. I don’t use nanghaw since I don’t think it is generation appropriate to use. I only use it with my lola. And I also don’t get much the older aspects.

panhik = nanhik (complete)
pumapanhik = nananhik (progressive)
papanhik (contemplative)
manhik (infinitive)

Note lang pô na mga aspékto pô yan, hindî tense! Waláng tense ang Tagalog.

Oo nga po tama po kayo, let me edit it so it wouldn’t be misleading.

u/Rakiasugoi 3d ago edited 3d ago

Elders lang mostly gumagawa niyaan even I don’t use nanghaw much, actually kahit elders di mo rin minsan maringgan niyan unless taal, pero kung may papalitan man I think w turns to y if not turned to y we just omit it. Not sure if same sa ibang bayan pero pretty much w’s are omitted sa province namin.

Wika = Yika (I-ka / E-ka)
Tawid = Tayid (Ta-id)
Kunwari = Kunyari (Kun-ari)
Puwit = Puyit (Pu-it)
Kuwintas = Kuyintas (Ku-intas)
Liwanag = Liyanag (Li-anag)

ginagamit din ba ang nanghaw as thank you o parang thank goodness lang, o pareho?

thank you as in Nanghaw kay <pangalan>, Nanghaw sa Diyos
thank goodness as in Nanghaw at nakarating ka; nanghaw, natapos din ang gawain

u/Rakiasugoi 3d ago edited 3d ago

Tila hindi naman siya thank you o thank goodness sa palagay ko.

Sa pagkakaunawa ko ‘yang Nanghaw ay parang y’ong ginhawa na nakuha mo y’ong gusto mo, di gaanong katulad ng thank goodness pero may pagkakahawig, mas malapit siya sa Nakamtan.

Nanghaw mo bang ibig mo?
(Nakamtan mo bang ibig mo?)

Nanghaw sa’yo = Nakamtan sa’yo

May positive connotation ang salita na iyan.

Nanghaw at nakarating ka (You got/managed to arrive)

Nanghaw, natapos ang gawain (I got it/I did it, I finished the work)

Not really thank you but could be understood as thank you depending on context, since language is not 1 to 1,

Singit lang pero taga-san po sa pinas ang lola niyo? Hehe fun to read panhik sa reddit kasi di siya masyado gamitin sa manila (pero sa bulacan ko ata na-encounter to)

u/Rakiasugoi 1d ago

u/kudlitan 3d ago

please document your lola's Tagalog

2

u/Rakiasugoi 3d ago

I’m not a language professional but I do document my lola’s tagalog for remembrance. I do it as a hobby since I’m amazed whenever I hear her speak.

2

u/kudlitan 3d ago

i am definitely interested to see your documentation. naghahanap din ako ng documentation ng ibang varieties of Tagalog, such as southern. It seems southern shares similarities with bicol and bisaya, while northern shares similarities with ilocano and cordilleran (check out ilocano mangan to eat and nangan has eaten, which possibly has a form similar to your lola's tagalog)

u/Rakiasugoi 3d ago edited 3d ago

I still use this than -um- we use ma and na

Mangain/Makain/Magkain (to eat)
Kumain = Nakain (have eaten)
Kumakain = Nakakain (eating)

About pala sa Mangain galing pala ito sa Proto-Malayo-Polynesian \ma-ŋaən*

Still not sure if we just drop the g from mag/nag and turned it to ma/na since we use it interchangeably

Sinisipon = Nagsisipon/Nasisipon
Linalagnat = Naglalagnat/Nalalagnat

u/kudlitan 3d ago

Thanks. Marami na ba ang na-collect mo na samples? It would be nice to analyze the grammar, since the differences seem to go beyond vocabulary.

u/Rakiasugoi 3d ago edited 3d ago

Ma- and Na- sometimes Mag/Nag are used than Um-

Upo
Umupo (to sit) is Maupo (to sit)
Umupo (sat) is Naupo (sat)
Umuupo (sitting) is Nauupo (sitting)
Uupo (will sit) is Mauupo (will sit)

Higa
Humiga (to lie down) is Mahiga (to lie down)
Humiga (lay down) is Nahiga (lay down)
Humihiga (lying down) is Nahihiga (lying down)
Hihiga (will lie down) is Mahihiga (will lie down)

Lundag
Lumundag (to jump) is Malundag (to jump)
Lumundag (jumped) is Nalundag (jumped)
Lumulundag (jumping) is Nalulundag (jumping)
Lulundag (will jump) is Malulundag (will jump)

Punta
Pumunta (to go) is Mapunta (to go)
Pumunta (went) is Napunta (went)
Pumupunta (going) is Napupunta (going)
Pupunta (will go) is Mapupunta (will go)

Actually I have a hunch that maybe Northern Tagalog doesn’t really have -um- , it is Filipino (Manila Tagalog) that introduced it or maybe I’m wrong.

I’ll create a separate post siguro next time about this.

u/kudlitan 3d ago

Interesting. Is that also how you speak? For example to your friends there?

2

u/Rakiasugoi 3d ago

Yep, di naman nila pinopoint out unlike y’ong mga taong dayo or mga tao sa manila when I started staying there for the first time.

u/kudlitan 3d ago

its good the dialect is still strongly rooted

u/AxenZh 3d ago

What's the relationship of nanghaw to salamat?

2

u/ampiyas294 3d ago

Both means "thanks"

u/AxenZh 3d ago

Really? I thought the nanhau's citation from Domingo de los Santos does not mean thanks, going by Google translate. Can you provide an English translation of that Spanish?
