So, if you want to try tagalog when you are on vacation in the Philippines, try this:
P = passenger = you!
J = Jeepney guy
P: Bayad.
J: Ilan?
P: Isa lang (dalawa / tatlo / apat...)
J: Saan kayo bababa'?
P: Sa bayan / Sa palengke
J: Eto ang sukli'
P: Salamat
And with explanation:
P: Bayad. --> (emphasis on the first syllable: Bayad) Bayad is what you say when you pay, like "here's my fare"
J: Ilan? --> For how many?
P: Isa lang (dalawa / tatlo / apat...) --> Just one (two / three / four...)
J: Saan kayo bababa'? --> Where will you get off?
P: Sa bayan / Sa palengke --> In town / at the market
J: Eto ang sukli' --> Here's the change
P: Salamat --> Thank you
