Detailed explanation-1: -Filipinisms is a ‘coined terminology’ for loosely translated English phrases that are used by most Filipinos. It could be used during an informal conversation but with business-related communication, it can cause unanticipated misunderstandings.
Detailed explanation-2: -Here are some filipinisms and their correct usage: 1. Come again? This is a common expression Filipinos use to say “could you repeat that?” Instead of saying “come again”, it is better to say “I am sorry I didn’t get that”, “Excuse me?”, “I am sorry, would you please say that again?”
Detailed explanation-3: -Filipinism is evolved from Filipino localization or acculturation of the English language which resulted to the creation of words, phrases or terms that in some way maybe grammatically incorrect or foreign native English speakers.
