I tried the Google translater from Filipino to English.  

 

What it gave me was "If I'm wrong ... Is not even liwat Dad"

 

Pretty close to what OUC had but I wonder if maybe the context might make a difference.

"If I'm wrong...Dili man liwat sa Dad"

Thank you

 

 

 

It’s a Cebuano slang – therefore the translation varies depending on the context.  A “Liwat” could be a progeny/offspring, resemblance in personality on either physical or mental or both.

However, the straight translation is:-

If im wrong - he doesn’t look after his dad. 

Kind of opposite to the western idiom, “chip off the old block” (with the introduction of the word “Dili” which is negative)

 

(Sorry, thats the best i could do without actually hearing how the words were verbalise.  i hope it makes sense to you)

If im wrong - he doesn’t look after his dad.

 

Impressive translation skills.  REALLY! :tiphat:   You might change 'after' to 'like' OR 'look' to 'take'. 

Then it would read, "... he doesn't look like his dad." OR

"... he doesn't take after his dad."

 

I'm suggesting this NOT because I can translate but because "look after" means to take care of someone & the 2 new phrases both resemble the reference to the idiom “chip off the old block”.

 

I'm pretty good with English, because it is the only language I have.  :mocking: :hystery:

 

btw, my translator just woke up and said liwat = look like, so confirmed.

I would suggest that you are pretty good with American but a Brit would relate to Ashanti's translation.  Canadians understand both as we are kinda in the middle   :cheers:

Nesa says it means... Doesn't resemble the father...... Does anybody know what other people are writing, you can ask 10 people and they will all say something different, lol

 "Dili liwat sa Dad"   means  "doesn't resemble the father " :thumbsup:
