Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Shopping practices can vary across different regions and cultures. In the Philippines, it's common to engage in "tawad" or haggling when shopping in local markets or small stores. This cultural practice allows buyers to negotiate prices with sellers to get a better deal. If you're comfortable with haggling, feel free to give it a try. It can be a fun and rewarding experience.

Another interesting cultural aspect of shopping in the Philippines is the concept of "ukay-ukay." Ukay-ukay refers to secondhand or thrift shops where you can find unique and affordable clothing items. Many Filipinos enjoy exploring ukay-ukay stores to find hidden gems and stylish bargains. It's a sustainable and budget-friendly way to shop while supporting local businesses.

Practice Exercises[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to put your new vocabulary to the test! Here are some practice exercises to help you reinforce what you've learned:

1. Fill in the blank with the appropriate clothing item in Tagalog:

2. Match the Tagalog word with its English translation:
