02:12it's Japanese!
02:14The tone, the accent!
02:16Yeah, Thea, you're good!
02:18Why are you thinking about it?
02:20When I was a kid,
02:22I was really interested in
02:24anime, everything
02:26Japan, I was interested in it.
02:28And in my first year,
02:30I thought why
02:32I didn't try to study it.
02:34So, I studied self-study from
02:362009
02:38until
02:402015,
02:42and I enrolled
02:44to my friend
02:46and I understood
02:48the Nihongo.
02:50It's just basic.
02:52What you saw in the video,
02:54I actually helped me to translate
02:56so that it's legit
02:58that I'm going to say
03:00that I'm going to say.
03:02You're going to bash!
03:04You know it!
03:06But how did you practice it?
03:08Do you have to talk about it?
03:10I was a solo trip to Japan
03:12in 2019.
03:14And then,
03:16even in one or two weeks,
03:18even if you have a little bit of knowledge,
03:20you can push yourself
03:22that you really speak in Nihongo.
03:24You can learn a little bit.
03:26So, you can learn a little bit.
03:28So, it's like...
03:30You know what?
03:32We were interacting with people,
03:34and we were in Japanese,
03:36and when we didn't understand,
03:38we had an app.
03:40But it was great.
03:42They understood me.
03:44Wow, Thea! That's amazing!
03:46What did you say
03:48that you were in Japanese?
03:50Wow!
03:52It's an expression for Japanese.
03:54And it depends on the mood.
03:56Okay, go.
03:57It's different.
03:58It's a meaning.
03:59Yabai.
04:00That's the word.
04:01Yabai.
04:02Y-A-B-A-I.
04:04It means...
04:05It's like...
04:06It's like...
04:07for us.
04:08Ah, it's an expression for us.
04:09Okay.
04:10Mm-hmm.
04:11So, how do you say it?
04:12How do you say it?
04:13For example,
04:14it's nice.
04:15Yabai.
04:16It's like,
04:17OMG!
04:18It's nice.
04:19That's what it means.
04:20So, or...
04:21Or, or,
04:22or, minsan,
04:23pag...
04:24kunyari,
04:25may nangyaring
04:26nasama,
04:27or hindi inaasahan,
04:28ah, yabai!
04:29Parang...
04:30Halo!
04:31Ah, yes!
04:32Okay!
04:33Iba-iba yung uses niya, Mars!
04:35Ika, Kelly,
04:36since you joined
04:37mga international pageants,
04:38did you ever have to,
04:39or did you ever feel
04:40the need to,
04:41uh,
04:42speak another language
04:43or to learn another language?
04:44Uh, actually,
04:45yung international pageant ko
04:46sa Egypt,
04:47um,
04:48diba, they speak Arabic there.
04:50And since,
04:51lumakay po ako sa Dubai,
04:53ah,
04:54growing up,
04:55it was compulsory po to learn Arabic for,
04:57so I learned for mga
04:58nine or ten years growing up.
05:00Medyo nakalimutan ko yung
05:02yung Arabic knowledge ko.
05:04But then, when I went to Egypt,
05:05it was coming back bit by bit.
05:07So, that was actually quite helpful.
05:09And then, medyo na-impressed din po yung
05:11organizers dun sa Egypt,
05:13um,
05:14that I knew how to converse.
05:15Very basic lang,
05:16pero I was able din to read
05:18some of their papers
05:19or some things in Arabic.
05:20So,
05:21na-impressed
05:22kasi they were like,
05:23aren't you pa in the Philippines?
05:25Wow!
05:26Interesting!
05:27May tinatago rin pala itong si,
05:29ano,
