“mukhang kawawa”

magbiro ka na sa lasing huwag lang sa bagong gising

joke with a drunk, but never with someone just awake

lakad-takbo

walking very fast

pusong bato

heartless, cold

Butas ang bulsa

Broke; has no money.

sa ayaw at sa gusto

like it or not

namamangka sa dalawang ilog

playing both sides

nasa hukay ang isang paa

close to death

magaan ang loob

to feel at ease with someone, to trust
