"kolgeyt".... hahahaha, sorry, but admit it, most filipinos use this word even if it's "close-up", "beam", etc....

Okay I admit we people in Cebu call, "tabo" as Caltex, any toothpaste as Colgate...etc.
But according to my professor back in Manila, we call refrigerator as "frigeder"(not sure for the spelling), and frigeder is also a brand name, same as xerox...

there is actually no tagalog translation of toothpaste.. but filipinos usually say the brand of the toothpaste instead...

Haha...nice question!
There's no exact Tagalog translation for "toothpaste".
If we'll take it literally, will it be "gawgaw pangsipilyo"? lol
Just like other Tagalog terms such as drayber, manedyer, titser, etc., we just get the same idea of the English word, then revise its pronunciation and spelling in a "Tagalog manner".
That's why we have "Taglish". Some words in English has no exact Tagalog translation, and vice versa.
In my opinion, the term for it is, "tutpeyst", not "kolgeyt". lol

But doesn't "Sana" mean I wish? Off course you could also use "Umasa","Pag-Asa" or Asahan. They also have different meaning but it's how you use it in context. Pag-asa para sa kinabukasan = Hope for Future

It's not in the tagalog Dictionary...It has not been discovered yet...So they imitated the name of the brand...
