I heard this funny story before about a foreigner asking a Filipino the meaning of one Filipino word.
Foreigner: I've heard the word "bakit" in conversations. What does it mean in Filipino?
Filipino: Why.
Foreigner: I want to know the meaning of "bakit" in Filipino.
Filipino: Why.
Foreigner: Please, don't ask me again why. I do want to know its meaning because I don't know.
Filipino: I've already answered: why.
Foreigner: What's the answer? Why do you keep asking why?
Filipino: I'm not asking you why. The answer is why.
Foreigner: Did you mean "bakit" means "why"?
Filipino: Exactly!
