What are some Filipino Tagalog words that begin with the letter K?

While Tagalog has a few words borrowed from other languages that start with "K," it's not a common letter in the beginning of native Tagalog words.

Here are some examples:

Borrowed Words:

* Kaka (from English "Coca") - Coca-Cola

* Kakaiba (from English "Curious") - Unique, strange

* Kuwentuhan (from English "Conversation") - To chat, to have a conversation

* Kutsara (from Spanish "Cuchara") - Spoon

Less Common Native Words:

* Kakaiba (mentioned above) - This word, while borrowed, has become a very common and accepted part of the language. It means "unique, strange" and is derived from the root word "iba" meaning "different".

It's important to note that many words starting with "K" in Tagalog are actually loanwords from Spanish, English, or other languages. The Tagalog alphabet traditionally doesn't include the letter "K," so its use is often limited to borrowed words.
