How to Speak Pig Latin
You might think “Pig Latin” was just something your kids made up, but take a closer look. This pseudo-language is widely known and used by English-speaking people, especially when they want to disguise something they are saying from non-Pig Latin speakers. It was first created in WWII when soldiers wanted to communicate to each other without eavesdropping soviets understanding them.
Pig Latin may be used as a spelling game for English language spellers. Practice for fun…
[edit] StepsWords that begin with a consonant
Transfer preceding consonant(s) from the word to at the end. Add “-ay” to the end of the word.
Pig Latin = igPay atinLay
Paint the fence white = aintPay ethay encefay itewhay
Don’t slump = on’tDay umpslay
My dog = yMay (pronounced eye-may) ogday
Words that begin with a vowel and one-syllabled
Add “-way” to the end of the word that start with a vowel, and leave the first letter in front.
it = itway
arm = armway
egg = eggway
Others
Multi-syllabic words that start with vowels often are the same as words that start with a consonant.
isthmus = isthmusway
ingenious – sngeniouiway
archery = yrcheraway
ending = endingay
ultimate = ultimateway
Compound words work better when you split them into separate words.
bedroom = edbay oomray
toothbrush = oothtay ushbray
wallpaper = allway aperpay
bathtub = athbay ubtay
hi = ihay
i rock = iway ockray
soccer = occersay
[edit] More ExamplesI am speaking Pig Latin! = Iway amway eakingspay igpay atinLay!
Can anyone hear me? = Ancay anyoneway earhay emay?
I have a secret = Iway avehay a-way ecretsay.
The guy next to me has toilet paper stuck to his shoe = Ethay uygay extnay otay emay ashay oilettay aperpay uckstay otay ishay oeshay.
Are these really all the rules? There may be some missing. = Areway esethay eallyray allway ethay ulesray? Erethay aymay ebay omesay issingmay.
Has anybody seen my washboard? = Ashay anyay odbay eensay ymay ashway ordbay?
hi people! whats up? = ihay eoplepay hatsway upway?
I love you= Iway ovelay ouyay
new england patriots rock = ewnay englanday atriotspay ockray
Pig Latin is really easy to speak and understand once you get the hang of it!- igpay atinlay isay eallyray easyway ootay eakspay andway understanday onceway ouyay etgay hetay anghay ofway itway!
You= ouyay
Hello= ollehyay
yes=esyay
[edit] TipsAt first, speak slowly so you can correct your mistakes. As time goes on, you’ll be able to pick up some speed.
There’s a definite rhythm and flow to the sounds – often it takes some experimentation to get it smooth.
Some people put dashes in front of the suffix. E.g., ome-say eople-pay ut-pay ashes-day in-way ont-fray of-way e-thay uffix-say.
Be careful. You could be near people who know a different version or who think you are insulting them when you’re not.
Once you know how to speak it fluently, don’t speak to fast to people who don’t know it/can’t speak it fast yet. Odds are if you can’t say it fast, you can’t understand it fast.
hey teresa does it feel good to be forty one i love you and have a nice birthday. i hope you have a good one and thank you for letting me live here even though we have been through some good and bad things love ya for ever.
I see a lot of you speak Pig Latin incorrectly. Some of you have though.
To speak Pig Latin you move the first consonant(s) to the end of the word and add ‘ay’.
Dog – Ogday
If there is more then one consonant at the beginning put them all to end.
Street – Eetstray
If a word already starts with a vowel just add ‘way’
Are – Areway
There are many dialects of Pig Latin where instead of adding ‘way’ you can add ‘hay’, ‘yay’, or just ‘ay’. ‘Way’ is the most common and I personally think it looks the best.
