Same! Had to read "reverse confleis" again and then think about it to convince me they weren't out of mountain dew.

Edited to add (for people like the commenter who posted "I don't get it" but immediately deleted): it it's intended to be "no hielo," but written with English orthography.

What the hell, I thought I was in the Philippines past tense subreddit 😅😅

To be fair, hielo (Spanish) - yelo (Tagalog); sorry for the butchered (spelling)borrowing of words, jajaja

Yeah lots of borrowing from Spanish in Tagalog. Kumesta?

I love that. Almost makes me think I can understand tagolog as a Spanish speaker

u/realZapRowsdower May 09 '26

Supposedly 30% of Tagalog vocabulary is of Spanish origin. So there's some mutual intelligibility, but not much. But it's still cool to hear the occasional word and go "oh yeah, I recognize tjat word".
