“teka muna”

Mababaw ang luha

Cries easily.

nasa ilalim ng saya

henpecked (under the skirt)

bato-bato sa langit, tamaan ay huwag magalit

if the shoe fits, don't be angry

Taingang kawali

Pretending not to hear.

takot sa sariling anino

afraid of one's own shadow

hay naku

oh dear, oh my

tinik sa lalamunan

a thorn in one's side, a constant problem

Butas ang bulsa

Broke; has no money.
