I think this site would be more reader-friendly if the words are arranged in particular classification. Like for instance, you may arrange the words according to parts of speech--that is, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, etc.

Or, it could also be arranged according to type--

like body parts: liver ('atay'), heart ('puso'), intestines ('bituka'), gall bladder ('apdo'), etc.;

color: red ('pula'), blue ('asul' or 'bughaw'), green ('berde' or 'lunti' or 'luntian'), etc;

shape: circle (bilog), square ('kuwadrado' or 'parisukat'), oval or oblong ('biluhaba), triangle ('tatsulok'), etc;

behavioral characteristics: kind ('mabait'), generous ('mapagbigay'), beautiful ('maganda'), pretty ('marikit'), greedy, usually in food context ('matakaw'), greedy, in non-food context ('madamot').

(Note: In my examples, I used the format--English ('Filipino' translation).

I could give you more traslations. I'll try to work on this.

Thank you very much for sharing your translations. It really helps me with my son's homework. I'm not a Tagalog native speaker myself. I do have a question, I read somewhere in the net that:

oblong - taluhaba
oval - habilog

Is this correct? I'm pretty convinced with biluhaba but I just want to make sure.

Correction, MASBATENYO are the people who lives in MASBATE.... and the dialect we used is MINASBATE....

And also, ROAD is not DALAN..
the road in manasbate dialect is; "KAMINO"
