“Bantay-salakay”

Itaga mo sa bato

Mark my words; I promise it will happen.

Ang taong nagigipit, sa patalim kumakapit

Desperate people take desperate measures.

Kabiyak ng puso

Spouse; one's other half.

Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa

God helps those who help themselves.

Anak-pawis

A labourer; the working class.

Bukas-palad

Very generous.

Ningas-kugon

Enthusiasm that starts strong but quickly fizzles out.

Aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo?

Help that comes too late is useless.
