EN: reservation
In the Philippines, we just say the English word. It's faster. Why say 'reserbasyon' when 'reservation' works perfectly and everyone, from the hotel clerk in Batanes to the barista in your local coffee shop, understands it? It's the ultimate code-switching convenience.
From English 'reservation'.
This English word is used so commonly in Tagalog conversations that it can be considered a borrowed noun. It is more common in spoken language than its Spanish-derived counterpart, 'reserbasyon'.
