Tagalog[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Hokkien, either:
- 肉麵/肉面 (mah-mī, “meat and noodles soup”, literally “meat and noodles”), according to Chan-Yap (1980). Compare Cebuano bam-i, Indonesian bakmi, Javanese ꦧꦏ꧀ꦩꦶ (bakmi), Dutch bami. See also Hokkien 牛肉麵/牛肉面 (gû-mah-mī, “beef noodles”).
- 馬麵/马面 (má mī, literally “Ma’s noodles”), noodles peddled by Ma Mon Luk (馬文祿 / 马文禄, Cantonese Yale: Máh Màhn-luhk; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Má Bûn Lo̍k) in his restaurant since the 1920s in Binondo, Manila.
Manuel (1948) also records an entry, providing the definitions and pronunciation of Hokkien 肉麵/肉面 (mah-mī, “meat and noodles soup”, literally “meat and noodles”), but misidentifies it as Cantonese.
