what is UAE in tagalog

translate it actually

i will use Nagkakaisang Arabong Emirato

u should make a better tagalog cotw quiz with well translated words, then ask QM/Stewart to put that as the official version instead

rn the official tagalog cotw was made using google translate

like Bagong Selanda should be used instead of NZ

i found both these on wiktionary btw
