@imsta.olaya: Description You ask a Filipino a simple question. Instead of an answer... You get another question. Coincidence? Confusion? Or a communication style that values intention before information? This investigation examines one of the most common Filipino conversation habits and why understanding why someone asks can matter just as much as the question itself. #FilipinoCulture #Philippines #Communication #HighContext #Anthropology

Yeah, I think it’s because our brains are already three steps ahead, looking for the hidden agenda behind that innocent first question. 😂

That’s how I answered when a friend sent me a message just a while ago.😆 “Bakit?” It’s because I want to know the purpose of why you are asking me that question.😆

one reason is because we already adapt to avoid getting childlike prank questions and getting laughed at

I wanna explore why Filipinos tend to say things in 2 different languages, knowing full well that either would suffice. For example: "Naku, thank you so much. Salamat talaga." Anyone has any idea why? I do this a lot too. 😁

busy ka? I have to ask "why" because I want to know the intent behind the question. it could be busy ka? if not, gala tayo libre ko. if I know that then I'd definitely say yes. but if it is "busy ka? if hindi, patulong ako sa application letter ko", then I'm likely to say no. we ask because we want to make sure our answer truly reflects what we are ok with.

Relative kasi yung syntax natin in speaking. That's how we get the context before we give you the answer to your question.

Pag may nagtatanong sakin ng personal question at di ko naman siya ka-close, ang sagot ko, “bakit gusto mo malaman?”

isn't this the case the same for every human? to ask the context first before answering a question? or not? 😂

My response will entirely be dependent on your motive for asking the question in the first place. So better ask the right question at the onset 😈😈🤣🤣🤣!
