While most Filipinos know the word “ate” in Tagalog as “older sister”, a similar word (although stressed differently) in Kapampángan refers to a completely different thing—liver!
ATÉ • (uh-TEH)
liver
Tagálog (Filipino): atáy
Kapampángan:
ATÉ • (uh-TEH)
liver
Tagálog (Filipino): atáy
Tagálog (Filipino):
ÁTE • (AH-teh)
older sister
Kapampángan: achî / atsî
Note that these two words have different stressed syllables (2nd syllable for Kapampángan, 1st syllable for Tagalog)
