1) Knee high to a grasshopper means when you were little, or referring to a small person.

2) butterflies in your stomach means you are very nervous and your stomach feels all fluttery.

3) to have ant's in your pants means you are really excited, hopping from foot to foot, or you just can' t sit sitll

I have no idea on tagalog.  

Answer 2

1. Knee-high to a grasshopper - short; a young lad

mas gatas pa sa labi (has milk on lips; still young)

hindi pa abot ang kaliwang tenga (cant reach left ear; not ready to school; still young)

2. To have butterflies in your stomach - nervous

namamalahibo (hair raising; similar to goose bumps)

3. To have ants in your pants - cant stay still

tagalog phrases are not direct translations but equivalents only.

Answer 3

I don't know about equivalent phrases in Tagalog, but I can tell you the meanings of the idioms: 1.) Refers to height, as in a very short person. 2.) Indicates a "flutter" in the stomach, often attributed to a feeling you get when you are in the presence of someone you are attracted to; or a general feeling of nervousness. 3.) Indicates a person who is very active, or restless.  

Answer 4

I'm not sure if they have an equivalent in Tagalog but the second expression is what you say when you're nervous and you get that jittery feeling in your stomach, a mix between nerves and excitedness. The third expression is used when a person just won't sit still, they're constantly moving.

Answer 5

To have butterflies in your stomach -- "naninikip ang tiyan" because of super "kilig" or nervousness or excitement.

To have ants in your pants--i think the tagalog counterpart is "parang sinisilihan ang p***t" or "malikot sa aparato" translated as cannot sit or stand still.
