I don't speak nor understand Spanish but I know a ton of loanwords in Tagalog. This video by #Langfocus is very interesting and I learned several new things. Like the fact that the Tagalog word for peanut 🥜 (“manî”) comes from Taíno and not Spanish or Nahuatl, and that “barkada” (group of friends) comes from the Spanish for “boatload”.
