Can we create a thread/post in english here the same as Indian Board?

[Maslate]

I was browsing through the local Indian board and noticed many topics there are in English. It got me thinking - maybe we could do the same thing in our community and see how everyone responds to it. I understand that not all of us are fluent in Tagalog, as we have users from different provinces and various dialects, given that we live in a large country, right? So, I find it easier to respond and create topics in English. Since Filipinos are generally proficient in English, why not allow it in our conversations here?

There are numerous benefits to this idea. For one, we can already practice and improve our writing skills, which is something that some users value. So, what are your thoughts on this? I'd love to hear your opinions. If any of the mods have the time to reply to this, it would be great to read their thoughts on how this change could help our community grow and improve at the same time.

Yes, I think we can all create a English thread here locally, and I don't see any problem with that, majority of us can understand and speak English fluently as it is our second language.

However, I still prefer Tagalog though, I mean this is why we have our local boards and as least we can understand and express our thoughts as native Tagalog speaker.

There's no problem creating threads in our local using the English language mate. Ang importante kasi is yung topic ay fit sa local natin. Pwede nga rin same topic lang sa international lalo na pag gusto rin natin kunin ang opinion ng mga Filipino. 

The same thing na rin sa mga response. It doesn't matter basta maintindihan yung point. Di ako ganun ka fluent both English and Tagalog kaya pa mekus-mekus lang ako dito mga insan.

It seems like our local community isn't as active as some others. I waited for a reply, and it took 3 days to get one. But it's not a big deal; I just feel a little envious of other communities where they have more active discussions. I've also noticed that they receive a lot of merits in their local. Do we still have a merit source in our local community?

Thanks for your replies, guys. I'll create some topics in English that could interest our kabayan here, as I can express myself better in English compared to Tagalog. I appreciate the positive responses, and it's good to hear that there are no rules to be broken.

As long as na iintindihan naman ang content or the message itself sa mga ginagawa nilang thread is walang problem dun actually pwede nga tayong mag taglish dito if mas mainam sya gawin kasi mas ma dedeliver talaga maigi ung message na ginagawa nila eh.

I guess na notice mo sa ibang board na mas active sila at maraming talagang merit na nag circulate sa ibang board actually kaya siguro nga onti lang pumupunta newbie dito para mag create ng content eh kasi sa other board mas makakakuha sila ng merit. Nag push na din maging merit source si crwth but currently wala pang update with this.

okay din sakin as long as madami ngpaparticipate sa topic alam ko madaming pinoy dito eh pero mas pinipili nila sa ibang boards siguro kasi dahil nadin sa tulad ng sabi ninyo mas naeexpress nila sarili nila duon at the same time siguro with merits na nakukuha nila, pero siguro mas okay natin for practice ng proper english at communication para hindi tayo hirap sa other boards.

Tsaka dagdag na din na karamihan kasi ng mga signature campaign noon kung tumatanggap man ng Local post eh 5 lang ang counted kaya medyo limitado ang posting ng mga kababayan natin(am not saying na dapat mag post lang ng may bayad pero yon ang realidad dahil secondary job lang naman ang campaigning) pero now dahil dumadami at lumalawak na ang mga signature na tumatanggap ng local posts eh nakikita nating active nnman ang Local.
so ok lang siguro na gumawa ng English Thread pero hindi naman mapipigil ang kababayan natin na mag reply sa Tagalog kasi mas madali i explain at maunawaan.

Marami na din naman sa mga kababayan natina ng nag translate ng mga International thread to Filipino/Tagalog so I think Hindi magiging problema kung gumawa ng English thread dito sa Local , and also pwede din naman dalawang version ang gawin dba ? yong isa is in different language and and may tagalog version din para sa mas madaling kapulutan ng mga Pinoy.
Fluency is not needed I believe dahil tama ka sa sinabi mong mahalaga maintindihan ang essense ng thread or ng comment.
ang alam ko lang naman na pinagbabawal eh yong mag post ng Local language dun sa english sections pero yong english sa local ? makakatulong pa nga para mas maging malawak pang unawa ng marami sa english .

Puwede naman at magandang initiative yan. Lalong lalo na sa mga nagpa-praktis mag English kahit na sa mga posts ay magandang ugaliing i-English nalang kung ang pinakapoint mo kung bakit mo ginagawa ay para mag-improve ka sa pag construct ng mga sentences at para mas madaling maintindihan. Madaming hindi magaling magsalita ng English pero pagdating sa pagsusulat, ang huhusay pala ang challenge lang kasi ay yung delivery ng nakokoconstruct sa isip ng tao into verbal. Saka nasa modernong panahon na tayo ngayon, pansin niyo ba mga kabayan pati mga bata ay English speaking natin? Salamat kina Cocomelon, Peppa Pig at iba pang mga characters na nasa YouTube. Kaya sa mga gusto mag English dito sa local natin, walang problema yan basta on topic lang lagi pero huwag kayo magtaka kung ang tulad ko ay magreply in Tagalog o di kaya Taglish.
