3,068 most common Tagalog words
Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday Tagalog, with its meaning in English.
Tagalog marks who is doing what with small particles rather than word order, and the verb changes shape to say which part of the sentence is in focus. Centuries of Spanish rule left a large loan vocabulary you may already know.
