Ano sa tagalog ang orange?

Two days ago, I received that text message from a high school friend. I knew it was a serious question so I replied her with my answer, “Sa fruit, kahel!”

I was so sure with my answer. Nonetheless, I googled my way to check if that stored knowledge was right.

My lady friend texted me back, “Eh sa color?”

I sensed she’d ask me that. I got the answer ready and I replied her with, “According  ke Mr. Google, pareho lang!”

I can feel her smiling while texting me back with, “Salamat! Ang galing mo talaga!”

Well, apparently, that was a serious question. Not some I-wanna-ruin-my-friend’s-day kind of questions that some people send to their friends.

I was still online. Browsed more sites about that Tagalog term until I landed to bncxe.org. It was sort of a forum. And it has a thread with the exact question: What is “orange” in tagalog? I read the contents and ended LMAO.

Here are some of the uber hilarious answers I read from that site:

• LancerEvoVII: guys, ano ba sa tagalog ang “orange” (color, not the fruit)? ü
• Gino: kulay-papaya
• 24/7: kahel din ata e
• Romeo: orends :-“
• nelman: kahel nga po yata 🙂
• meiroque: pulang dilaw 😀
• Jay-T: dalandan? bwehehehe
• geraldo3: ponkan na ponkan :))… i believe nga its kahel..
• guguly: matingkad na dilaw??:-?
• jamex: royal (true orange)
• jojitb: baka nga kahel B-)
• arbeeteexxiv: kahel nga po.. tinanong ko yung anak ko na nasa kinder.. 🙂
• logoMANNYger: Hirap naman ng tanong mo …pwede red na lang?! 😀 😀
• logoMANNYger: kinulang pula!!
• jerbau™: Wow beri inpormatib payborit kolor ko yan! 😀
• patrick526: parang pangalan ng tatay ni Superman yung tagalog ng orange a? 😕
• LancerEvoVII: tatay = Jor El; superman = Kal El
• patrick526: ay baligtad! pangalan pala ni Superman yun! 😀

Imagine that? It started with “orange” and it ended with “superman”! Ang kulit lang!!! Hahaha!

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. To those of you who wished me to get well, maraming maraming salamat po! I feel a bit better now. Still kinda tired though.
