Free printable worksheets for Filipino kids

mga hugis

I have revised the worksheets I made in 2014 on shapes. The 7-page pdf file below introduces the student to the Filipino words for circle (bilog), triangle (tatsulok), square (parisukat), rectangle (parihaba), and oval (obalo).

Each worksheet has (1) a short description of the shape (which the teacher or parent can read), (2) the Filipino word for the shape that can be traced, (3) different-sized shapes that can be traced, and (4) a set of shapes from which the student can identify and color the particular shape.

Note that I used the word obalo for oval and not habilog or biluhaba. According to the UP Diksiyonaryong Filipino (2010 Edition), the words habilog and biluhaba are adjectives (pang-uri). They are used to describe objects that are oval-shaped. The words obalo and obalado may be used as a noun to refer to the shape or as an adjective to describe an object that is oval-shaped.

Strictly speaking, a square is a rectangle but since the worksheets are meant to be used for and by preschoolers and first graders, this definition will not be used at this time.

The 2-page pdf file below shows the names of several shapes in Filipino. The first page shows the Filipino names for the shapes and the second page shows both the Filipino and English names for the shapes. Click on the link below, not the thumbnails, to open the pdf file.

You may be wondering why I did not use the words biluhaba or habilog to refer to the oval shape. According to the UP Diksiyonaryong Filipino, the words biluhaba and habilog are adjectives. They are used to describe objects that are oval-shaped or ellipse-shaped. The words obalo and obalado may be used as nouns (to refer to the shape itself) or as adjectives (to describe objects that are oval-shaped or ellipse-shaped). Since I am naming the shape, I used the words obalo and obalado, not biluhaba or habilog.

So, you may say the sentences below:

Gumuhit ako ng obalo sa pisara. (I drew an oval on the blackboard.) The word obalo is a noun in this sentence. The word oval in English may be used as a noun or as an adjective.

Ang salamin sa dingding ay biluhaba. (The mirror on the wall is oval.) The word biluhaba is an adjective in this sentence.

Ang salamin sa dingding ay habilog. (The mirror on the wall is oval.) The word habilog is an adjective in this sentence.

The words in the lesson sheets are nouns that name the shapes. The word bilog may be used as a noun or an adjective. As an adjective, it can describe objects that are circular or spherical.

If you need to describe an object using the shape nouns, you may use the Filipino word hugis with the noun. For example, if an object is shaped like a pyramid, you can describe it as “hugis-piramide” or “hugis-tagilo” and you may say “Ang ginawa kong laruan mula sa LEGO ay hugis-tagilo” or “Hugis-tagilo ang ginawa kong laruan mula sa LEGO.”

To describe objects with other shapes, you may use the word hugis with the noun such as hugis-tatsulok (for triangular objects), hugis-diyamante (for diamond-shaped objects), hugis-puso (heart-shaped), hugis-tala (star-shaped), hugis-pentagono (pentagon-shaped), and hugis-silindro (cylindrical). Note that words attached with the word hugis are adjectives, not nouns.

The shapes included in these worksheets are circle (bilog), triangle (tatsulok), square (parisukat), rectangle (parihaba), and oval (obalo).

Please note that in a previous worksheet I used the word habilog to identify the oval. I consulted the UP Diksiyonaryong Filipino (2010 Edition) and found out that the word habilog (or biluhaba) is an adjective (pang-uri) used to describe objects that are oval-shaped. The words obalo and obalado may be used as a noun to refer to the shape or as an adjective to describe an object that is oval-shaped.

Below are the thumbnails of the 2-page handwriting worksheet on the Filipino names for different shapes (mga hugis). Note that the Filipino words biluhaba and habilog are both used for the oval shape. Click on the link below to download the pdf file.
