1."Excuse me! Excuse me!"- we NORMAlly say"excuse me"or"excuse po"but the correct term would be"mawalang galang po"2."Miss! Miss!"In Visaya you say"Dai, dai!"But what do you say in Tagalog? Magandang Dilag, perhaps? I don't know how they call the attention of ladies pre-Spanish era. Nowadays, “miss” is perfectly fine.3."Ah, no, it'not worth it!"Ah, hindi, walang kwenta.4."Thank you, I am not interested".Salamat po, pero hindi ako interesadojust a note: Filipinos mostly use the street language in conversing and not the formal words you see in the dictionary. We have a lot of words that are"Tagalized"such as interesado which is a Tagalized version of interested. ------
