Hello to you Andez and macymacymacy.^^

macymacymacy, if you don't mind, I would like to make a correction and add something on what you wrote about numbers.^^

1,967,327
--> Isang milyon, siyam na raan at animnapu't pitong libo, tatlong daan at dalawampu't pito

* Raan/daan - hundred
It starts with "r" if the word it follows ends with a vowel. It starts with "d" if the word it follows ends with a consonant.^^

*animnapu is one word. it means 60. animnapu't pito is also animnapu at pito (67)

*dalawampu is one word. it means 20. dalawampu't pito is also dalawampu at pito (27). however, two is dalawa, without an "m"

Ako ay si Andez. - When introducing yourself, you can drop the "ay". Ako si Andez. It's more modern/conversational than "Ako ay si Andez." ^^

Kamusta kana? - It should be Kumusta ka na?, with a "u" not an "a". ka and na are two different words.^^

Ibig ko Chinen. - Do you mean you love Chinen? It should be Mahal ko si Chinen. "Ibig" is an old word and we don't use it anymore in modern conversations.^^ If you mean like, it's gusto.^^

Yay! I think this is going to be fun! I will help you learn Filipino! Un! Ganbatte! Kaya mo 'yan!^^

Aaah that was long! Hope that helped!^^

And by the way, our language is called Filipino. Tagalog is a dialect.
