The Filipino language or also known as Tagalog has actually a lot of foreign words. Many different people conquered the land, but I'm going to show you some examples of some similar to Spanish language and other languages.

Tagalog: la mesa

Spanish: la mesa
___________________
Tagalog: ispagetti

Italian: spaghetti
___________________
Tagalog: anak

Malaysian: anak
__________________
Tagalog: basketbol

English: basketball
__________________
Sentence:

Tagalog: "Mag laro ta-yo nang basketbol."

English: "Let's play basketball."

______

Tagalog: "Anak ko yan."

English: "That's my child."

Here is just a few I can explain.

How about the word "o" in Tagalog which was loaned from Spanish, meaning "or"?
