June 14, 2008 at 2:17 PMHi JP! In Metro Manila, Cavite and Laguna, we call "tahon" as "taho", possibly from the taho guy frequently dropping the -n whenever he yells: TAHOOOOOOOO!. Adidas! Nagmahal na! :(

:D Hope this helps.

June 12, 2008 at 10:17 AMThere's a restaurant here in the Philippines which sells fortune cookies. I laughed so hard when I received: " Confucius say: You go to jail, bad boy!" Must have been an April Fools gag.

June 11, 2008 at 11:49 AMHi light!
I'm not sure if my "corrections" are correct. But it's worth a try.:P
Going to (somewhere) in Future:
我到天安门今天
wǒ dào tiān ān mén jīntiān
I am going to Tiananmen Square today.
Or should it be:
今天我到天安门
jīntiān wǒ dào tiān ān mén
I am going to Tiananmen Square today.
I'm not sure if 到 is commonly used as "to go", but it's always used as "to (a place)" 或 "to arrive".
我今天去天安門。（wo3 jin1tian1qu4 tian1an1men2).
I'm also not sure if 今天 can be placed before the subject...I think it could...:D
And.. in the past, where do I add the 了 - le particle?
今天我到了天安门
jīntiān wǒ dào le tiān ān mén
I went to Tiananmen Square today.
Or should it be:
今天我到天安门了
jīntiān wǒ dào tiān ān mén le
I went to Tiananmen Square today.
If you put a 了 at the end of a sentence, then it functions as a modal particle.
If you're still going to 天安門 on "today", then you can say:
我今天去了天安門。（wo3jin1tian1qu4le5tian1an1men2)
But if you're not going to 天安門 anymore on that day, then replace 了 with the experience marker: 過。
Hope this helps. :)
