to find the translation for the English "belch" or "burp". The small (and
well mannered) community of Filipinos here has been unable to provide a
Tagalog equivalent.
Tagalog, Visayan, Cebuano, etc., translations would all be gratefully
recieved.
Salamat po.

Tagalog: "Dighay" (sp?) Actually I'm not 100% sure if this is
considered tagalog. I do know that this is the term I grew up using
back home. It is widely accepted though. Hope this helps. Good
Luck.

Unless I'm mistaken, "dighay" means "sigh."

My pinoy parents have told me that "buntong-hininga" means sigh,
and that "dighay" means "belch". A Tagalog dictionary states "hinagpis"
means "sigh" or "doleful sigh".

Well, we may be both right. You know how hard it is to translate
english into tagalog at times. One word may mean another at times.
What I do know is that this is a term used by a lot of people to
express the word "burp." You usually hear it from a lot of mothers
or caretakers of babies when they say "Padighayin mo iyong bata?"
Like I said, both of us may be correct or then again wrong on this
one.

tugab? As always, forgive the spelling, I've never seen the word written.

In Hiligaynon, belch is "tig-ab"

Burp in Ilocano is "tig-ab." I can't think about the Filipino translation
yet.

it's DIGHAL (dig-hal). At least, that's what I know and use.
