Mga Tala Sa Kultura
In Filipino, the English words “to go/return home” is encapsulated in just word, the
noun “pag-uwi.” The root word “uwi” can be conjugated to umuwi, umuuwi, uuwi.
One does not need to say the location “home.” It is implied that the action of “uwi”
is to return to one’s home.
Filipinos living in the diaspora find themselves asked the following question,
“Kailan ka uuwi? (When will you go home?)” It does not matter if one has been
abroad for twenty years, close to retirement, or even if a Filipino American was
born in the United States.
