Hello to everyone who speaks as well as understands filipino here! I've wondered on how words in filipino would be translated in english or in any other language, as well as how would any other language be translated in filipino. We could all well know the typical things that we could easily translate. Sometimes they are colloquial or of language used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary. For example, we often use "computer" in our conversations here in our country even though we know its a foreign word to begin with but, we use it anyway but, in case some of you know which filipino word would go along with the word "computer" which isn't colloquial, feel free to let us know Anyway, as words are already a difficult to translate or cross-over, what more on phrases or whole sentences. For now, my fellow filipinos, please translate this sentence into english since thats the most used in any international communication: "Pang-ilang presidente and presidente natin ngayon?" For those who know english as well as filipino, try to translate this message into filipino: "The electromagnetic field which was the sum of the square root in the equation was useless."

Some of the online filipino english dictionaries refer "Tampo" with "Sulk"
