Loan words edit
Guapa & guapo are certainly loans from Spanish. They are even spelled the same, with gu instead of gw.
| Romblomanon | Tagalog | English |
|---|---|---|
| Ka-guapa ka | Maganda ka | You are beautiful |
| Ka-guapo ka | Gwapo ka | You are manly |

As are una (§ Numbers; see Tagalog language § Numbers), and semana & merkado (both § Common Expressions). But this is all OR, so I'm taking the loanword table I started off the page and moving it here.
