derogatory conyo?
[edit]@Ysrael214 where did you get derogatory... i think its just a regular term for high class people, or people who speak the konyo lect, or the lect itself. Houflings (talk) 14:41, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Ysrael214 I dont think konyo is exaggerated,.. unless you can show stuff to me.. Houflings (talk) 14:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Houflings It's a negative sense like "white people". And yes, it can refer to the high class, or the name of the lect but you don't say konyo when someone is just because they're rich, the slang term for that can be "rich kid" or "rk" (also derogatory). The "conyo" is more applicable to the speaking sense, you say conyo when the one speaking it seems somewhat uncultured and does not know how to use the language properly. Somewhat similar to India's American Born Confused Desi concept. It's just normally, the people who speak like this are usually high class people as they most likely also speak English in their houses. Perhaps, exaggerated isn't the exact word but it's a much higher degree than just anyone simply code switching. Perhaps the word can be "unnatural", "code mixing" (not code switching) or I think something that means "broken speech".
- "Gusto ko makinig ng story" (not konyo, it's just as if "story" is a borrowed word this is just Taglish)
- "Gusto ko magmake pakinig ng story" (konyo, make pakinig isn't Tagalog grammar)
- "Eat na your food" (can also be said not konyo right away, just Engalog with "na")
- Or using redundant terms such as "like parang" and "mas better"
- barok or carabao English is a slang term for people who can't speak English fluently that they use seemingly funny English words to compensate. "barok" (if generalized to any language) is also more on about using the wrong words for a specific context, not necessarily swithcing between languages. "Conyo" has a requirement of using both Tagalog and English and thus, different. If you can add the right sense for the distinct, that will be great. Thanks!
