{ @telumscintilla } - Galahdi Dialect (Tagalog)

“Hay nako! Nakakainis ka talaga!!” 

She aims a punch on his shoulder before exaggeratedly dragging her palms down her face in irritation– when in actuality Iris is only hiding the gleeful grin attempting to break out of her face. Prompto had teased her about something, she can’t even remember what at this point, and she’s been making a show of being angry at him, shrieking at the top of her lungs and slipping into Galahdi. 

Terms of endearment masked by harsh and scary-sounding words come flying out.

“Ang pogi-pogi mo na, ubod nang bait mo pa sa’kin? Tapos hinaharanahan mo pa ako?? Shet, ang ganda ng boses mo! Kumukulo ang dugo ko sa pagka-cute mo, ah!!”

[I can’t even try to sound mad omfggg it’s just so corny. Filipino rom-com level of corny. Over 9000 asldkfj;f *aggressively compliments Prompto 5ever*]
