As a native speaker of Tagalog, I am only aware of five vowel sounds in Tagalog. If there are more I'd be happy to be corrected. As I pointed out somewhere in this blog I am not a language teacher so I will not even pretend to know everything about Tagalog. Whatever it is that I share here is just based on my practical experience with the language.
So, anyway, as I said, there are five vowel sound in Tagalog. These are:
- a as in ah
- e as in eh
- i as in ee or bit
- o as in bought or paw
- u as in ooh or moo
mabuhay = mah-booh-high
malakas = mah-lah-kahs
telepono = teh-leh-p(aw)-naw
umuulan = ooh-moo-ooh-lahn
itlog = eet-lawg
oo = aw-aw
hindi = heen-di
(more to come)
