Dialectal Differences
I just had a rather amusing experience today at our mini grocery. I can't help but share!
Customer: Isang kahang Fortune ho. Sigisteen?
Me: Po?
Customer: Sigisteen?
Me: Ano po 'yon?
Customer: Sigisteen!
Me: Ah... (realising he probably means 'sixteen', I confirm the brand) Fowchoon?
Customer: Ha?
Me: Fowchoon?
Customer: Ano 'yon?
Me: Fowchoon! (hands over his pack of fags and says) Thank you, come again!
LMAO. At least, mine is a legitimate pronunciation!
