While I was finishing some Christmas shopping yesterday I stopped by a local hamburger joint in DC called Five Guys. On their message board I saw some fellow Filipinos must have stopped by and also enjoyed their burgers.A quick primer on some tagalog words that you see:
mabuhay: pronounced ma-boo-high is generally translated at "welcome"
pinoy: pronounced p-noy is used to refer to Filipinos in general or a Filipino boy--as opposed to pinay, which is the feminine version. In the past it has been pejorative, but now it is more mainstream.
salamat: prounounced sa-la-mat means "thank you"
