"@chocnot Thanks! Yeah, the sentences were created by Filipinos, and they were never translated from English (which causes very awkward and forced sentences found on Tataoeba and another Tag cloze game). The Filipino speakers were given a Tagalog word, and asked to generate an illustrative sentence from it. Now, since they were generate on the fly and were required to use the given word, they won’t all be super casual out of context, but I think they’re all pretty helpful for improving vocab depth and..."

"New Feature on TDC - Phrase Translation https: //www.tagalog.com/message _board/forumimgs/TGL43766 202658.png Hi all!, I've added a new button to Tagalog.com to help translate phrases / full sentences. When you submit a Tagalog sentence it will attempt to use both Google Translate and ChatGPT (GPT4) to give a translation, and show you both results for you to review. Hope some people find this useful! --Jkos..."

"@JackHammer Why am I not a millionaire super model with the intellect of Einstein? ; ) It is what it is. Tagalog is difficult for English learners, but not as difficult as other languages (Japanese and Arabic, for example, are considered more difficult, https://effectivelanguage learning.com/language-gui de/language-difficulty/ ). I leave it to the linguists, but I assume the language evolved naturally over time to become what it is now, and that evolution didn’t care much about how difficult it is/..."

"Apparently When In Manila wrote an article on that bookstore. I really wanna visit La Solidaridad now. @chocnot Oh yeah, there was this awesome guy who took me there once... The store was started by famous Filipino author F Sionil Jose, who passed away not too long ago. I tried to meet him at the time, but no luck. In my experience there's a sad bereft of Tagalog-written literature Like @Juantutri said, access is the hard part. I really wish some of the Filipi..."

"TRANSLATION AI. When translation AI gets better, consider having a Google Translate alternative. Maybe partner with another service. @choc not Which translate button are you using? I added an "Explain Sentence" button in the Reader that uses OpenAI (GPT4) to translate and then try to explain the sentence structure. The only problem is that the GPT API is still a little slow...typically taking something like 9-15 seconds to translate...compared to the Google Translate API which is much fa..."
