The Tagalog word for toothpaste is commonly pronounced as "tutpeyst". This is because most Filipinos simply use the English word "toothpaste" and give it a Filipino pronunciation. Another Tagalog word for toothpaste is "pasimada," which is described as a substance used for cleaning the teeth. However, this word is rarely used or heard of. Some Filipinos also use the Tagalog pronunciation of the brand name "Colgate" (kolgeyt) to describe toothpaste, as it is one of the most popular brands in the country.
