Lofty Pangasinan Words

Lofty Pangasinan Words


When I was growing up, I hardly heard these high-sounding terms being used by elders, except for three common words.


Now I am at a loss how to distinguish between and among these big, profound words, which otherwise would be lovely to see being used today! 


Piraoat - yearning 

Ilalo - trust

Gegemtan - aim?

Gagala - do on purpose?

Bunek - vision?

Pegdat, Pekdat - purpose, aim

Kalat - goal? 

Getma - goal, aim, objective, target

Piaet - ambition, wish, desire, hope

Gunaet - dream, illusion, vision

Tindek - aspiration

Pilalek - ambition, wish, desire

Tamitam - desire, urge, hope
