00:00The Philippine Language Commission will include in the dictionary
00:04the new words or expressions that are trending on social media.
00:09In the KWF, these words show the youthfulness.
00:16Witness, Darlene Cai.
00:21This is definitely part of your news feeds or what you hear on the streets in your area.
00:26What does this mean?
00:28Mostly, it's used at every end of the sentence.
00:32For example, you're so beautiful.
00:36One A there.
00:40That's it.
00:41But aside from that, there are many other words or expressions that are trending on social media.
00:46Tik nap not nak.
00:48Is na malak.
00:49That's it.
00:50Bansit kanton po.
00:51It's just weird.
00:52But it's funny.
00:54I've heard of this before.
00:55It's used to describe a person.
00:57I can't believe what's happening.
01:00Some youths say it's funny to use these words.
01:04They say it adds to the fun of the conversation.
01:06It's funny to use.
01:08Aside from that, it makes you feel like you're there.
01:12But there are also some that are not funny.
01:14I get mad at Tik Toks.
01:17They say it's not funny.
01:20I'm used to the old ones.
01:22The old words.
01:24According to the Commission on Filipino Languages or KWF,
01:27there are no new words or expressions that are trending on social media.
01:32This shows the youths being funny.
01:35One of the characteristics of the language is being dynamic, flexible, flexible.
01:41And that's also part of the popular culture of words.
01:46That's part of the repository of the corpus of Filipino words.
01:51And that's reflected in time.
01:55There's a pattern.
01:56The true benchmark of social media when it comes to the Filipino language
02:00is the use of foreign languages.
02:03This August, along with the publication of the Language of the Month,
02:06the dictionary version of the Filipino language was launched
02:10where some new words from social media were written.
02:13And the theme this year is the Filipino Language of Freedom.
02:18The language is a weapon
02:21against the violence and abuse of an individual, society, or a country.
02:32In looking back at the history of our country,
02:38we can prove how the language became a visa
02:44for advancing ideas about achieving freedom.
02:51For GMA Integrated News, I'm Darlene Kaye, your witness.
02:57Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
