Kumusta ka at si Kulot, Tandang!

You should ask the vegetable sellers to identify the different vegetables for you. Can you talk to them in Ilocano?
Say "Ania daytoy, Apo?" which means
"What is this, M'am/Sir". Alternatively, you can ask "Ania ti nagan daytoy nga nateng, Apo?" In English, "What is the name of this vegetable, M'am/Sir?.
Please observe their reactions when you speak their language and share it with us on the blog.
