Follow the noun in Filipino speech (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
tag along
'follow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'noun in filipino speech' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'noun' could be 'n' and 'n' is located in the answer.
'filipino' could be 'tagalog' (synonyms) and 'tagalog' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tag along that I've seen before include "Follow" , "go with the flow" .)
