I am enjoying my lesson on YouTube regarding the pronunciation and different vocabulary. Today, I learned about how other speakers call these (see photo). If we need to buy a full case of beer, we tell the attendant that we are getting a "Case of beer", locally we say, "Isang Case". Which is the same name in the US. In Canada, they call it "Two Four". Means 24 bottles in a case. I like how the Britains call it. They would say "Pack of 24" The second photo is a Cigarette. Older people call it tabako (tobacco). I seldom here people say cigar or "Smokes". In Canada, they would say Smokes. Photo © Pixabay Photo App © Canva

Every country's word origin is unique. Nodding of head in Philippines means okay but there is a country nodding means bad

It's interesting how there are different terms for the same thing, depending on what country you're in.
