🇵🇭 Tagalog — Day 72 Module
Social connection is at the heart of Filipino culture. On Day 72, you learn how to warmly invite friends, colleagues, or family members to join you. You will master the universal '[Verb] tayo' invitation pattern ('Kain tayo', 'Punta tayo'), how to ask someone if they want to come along ('Sama ka?', 'Gusto mo bang sumama?'), and how to coordinate destinations and meeting spots.
- Use the natural '[Action] tayo' collective invitation format
- Ask others if they want to tag along ('Sama ka?', 'Sama ka sa amin?', 'Gusto mo bang sumama?')
- Combine invitations with places ('Kain tayo sa restawran', 'Punta tayo sa palengke')
- Coordinate meeting logistics ('Saan tayo magkikita?', 'Anong oras?')
- Build long social invitations step by step from 2 words to full sentences
- Score 9+/10 on the Day 72 Invitations Test
