A closer look at "Major Major"

The word 'major' has been the most popular, or should I say, infamous word circling the country for the past few days. What I am saying is not just about the word 'major'-- it is about the words 'major, major'.

According to some of our country's linguists, Ms. Venus Raj translated her answer from Tagalog to English (e.g bonggang-bongga, araw-araw).She assumed that the translation would be fine, considering most translations. Her answer in Tagalog, I assumed was this : "Walang major na major na problema". Therefore, her answer in English turned out to be this: "There is nothing major major, I mean problem..". The phrase 'I mean' signified Venus' realization that her answer proved to be grammatically wrong. :)

But that' okay. She just let the world know that her line "major major" sprung from her being Filipino.
