Language of Bonds
(Comment on a part of the Pinoy Centric post, Onli Noypi by Marge Gonzales)
“Our language has words interrelating with “socialization”: we have kasama, kaisa, kapanalig, kabayan, and, of course, kapuso and kapamilya.”
This is true and agreeable.
Even, in the street gangs and prison cells, they have “kakosa”
In call centers, the English and vernacular fused in the term, “ka-team.”
In apartments or boarding houses, people say, “kabordmeyt.”
We associate ourselves to the groups we hold dear and where we feel respect and acceptance. We take pride in the fact that we are a member of a group, whether such group is not sikat or familiar.We are proud of our roots, of our origin, of our mga kasama kahit sino pa sila/siya (whoever he/they is/are).
Do you agree?
