viewed, rather explicitly (cf. § 380), as the scene of plural action
or the place of things. So: ang bìgásan the place where hulled rice
is made, threshing floor for rice, rice-mill. Si Hwàn ang bìgáyan
nilà nang kanilà ng manga ninákaw na aláhas. Juan is the one to whom
they give the jewelry they have stolen. ang bìlangúan a prison (ang
bilanggò` a prisoner). Ang kanila ng bìlíhan nang pálay ay sa kamálig
ni Hwàn. The place where they buy rice is in Juan's storehouse. Ang
dàánan nang manga sundálo ay ang landàs na itò. The usual route of
the soldiers is this path. ang hampásan the whipping-bench. Ang manga
magkakápit-báhay na si Andrès, Kulàs, at Pédro ay nagtàtálo tungkùl
sa kaní-kanilà ng hanggáhan nang bakúran. The neighbors Andrés,
Nicolás, and Pedro are disputing about the boundaries of their
grounds. Sa pagítan nang báya-ng-Balíwag at báya-ng-San-Migèl ay
máy-roo ng isa lámang na hintúan ang manga naglálakad. Pedestrians
have only one stopping-place between the towns of Baliuag and San
Miguel. Si Pédro ay sya ng hìráman nang salapì` nang manga táo sa
báyan. Pedro is the one from whom the people in the town borrow
money. ang hungkúyan a machine for fanning the pounded rice. Ang isa
ng taburéte lámang ang ginawá nila ng làgáyan nang kanila ng manga
sombréro, sapagkàt ang sabitàn ay punú nà. A chair was all they had
to lay their hats on, for the hat-rack was already full. Ang làngúyan
sa ílog ay bumábaw. The swimming-place in the river grew shallow. ang
làrúan the playground. Ang lìbángan sa manga báta` sa manga bapòr na
naglálayag sa dágat nang Pasífiko ay lubhà ng malilínis na lugàr. The
play-rooms for children on the steamers that ply on the Pacific Ocean
are very neat places. ang nyúgan a cocoanut grove. Ang pàtáyan nang
bábuy ay nasúnog. The pork slaughter-house burned down. ang pàtísan
a factory for shrimp-sauce (patìs, made of the small shrimp called
hípon). Ang báro ng punìt-punìt ay sya nyà ng ginawà ng tagpían nang
manga retáso. She sewed the patches all on to the ragged blouse. Ang
kanila ng tagpúan ay ang daà-ng-Balíwag. Their meeting-place is the
Baliuag road. ang tanyágan an exhibition, exposition. ang timbángan
a pair of scales. ang tindáhan a shop, store (ang tindà the goods
for sale in a store).
Similarly, from: aklàt, bantày, bigtì, biniyàg, bukàs, buntòt, dasàl,
gawà`, hagdàn, higà`, hukòm, kabiyàw, kublì, kulòng, libìng, luksò,
manggà, pintà, pintò, pitàg, punlà`, sampày, sanglà`, simbà, sahàn,
tanggàp, tarangkà, tirà, upò`.
A very few show irregularities: eskwèl-han, paá-nan, tòto-hánan the
truth (totoò); the secondary accent is lacking in damú-han, tubú-han;
irregular in kumpìsál-an.
From a compound word: úbus-làkásan (úbos-lakàs).
From a phrase: sà-lawáhan changeable, fickle, as though from sa lawà;
for the latter see § 345.
From derived words: ang ìnumínan place for drinking-water, water-shelf
(inum-ìn, § 367,a); ang sìlangán-an the east (silang-àn, § 379.
378. The formation (1) S -an is made from barytone roots and
corresponds in meaning to (a) in the preceding type; the suffix is
added as a rule without irregularity.
Ang ìbígan ni Maryà at ni Hwàn ay natápus sa pagtatampúhan. The
love-affair of Maria and Juan ended through their contrariness. Ang
làyásan nang manga sundálo ay hindí maampàt nang kanila ng manga
pinúno`. The deserting of the soldiers could not be stopped by their
officers. Sa miyèrkules ang lùlánan nilà sa trèn. On Wednesday they
are to embark on the train. Ang pùlútan nilà nang kwaltà ay náhintò`
nang márinig nilà ang putòk. Their scrambling for money ceased when
they heard the crash. ang tìpúnan a meeting.
So: háyag, húni, káin, kílos, sáma, túloy.
Irregular in form is: Ang tàwánan nila Hwàn ay náhinto dahilàn sa
kanila ng pagkàgúlat. The laughter of Juan's crowd stopped on account
of their surprise (táwa).
Irregular in meaning, as though local instead of plural, is: Ang
gulòd na itò ay sya ng sìlángan nang áraw. This hill is the place
where the sun rises (sílang).
379. The form from barytone roots corresponding to the type in §
377,b and often also to type a, is: (2) -an, without irregularities:
Ang agawàn nang manga unggò` ay magulò. The grabbing by the monkeys
was confused. ang basahàn a reading-room, library. Bulakàn Bulacán
(name of a province, if from búlak a cluster of capoc cotton). Ang
maliìt na úna ng itò ay sya kò ng duruàn nang manga aspilè. This little
cushion is where I stick my needles. ang haluàn a mixing-vessel. ang
hugasàn a place for washing dishes. ang hulihàn nang isdà` a
fishing-expedition. Si Hwána ay isa ng babáye ng kutuhàn. Juana is a
lousy woman. Ang labanàn nang manga Tùrkos at Inggléses ay kasulukúyan
pa lámang. The warfare between the Turks and the English is only now
taking place. Ang kanila ng lakaràn ay lubhà ng masayà. Their walking
party is very merry. Ang kanila ng lusungàn ay hindí natápus na mabúte,
sapagkàt marámi sa manga táo ay matamàd. Their cooperative scheme did
not turn out well, because most of the people were lazy. Ang murahàn
ni Hwána at ni Maryà ay nárinig nang boò ng báyan. The revilings of
Juana and Maria were heard by the whole town. Sa báya-ng-San-Migèl
ay nangyáre ang isa ng nakawàn. In the town of San Miguel a robbery
took place. Ang tablà ng itò ay ginawà ng pakuàn nang manga báta`
sa manga páku ng aspilè na kinúha nilà. The children used this board
for hammering in the tacks they had taken. Ang bútas nang bangka`
ay sya ng ginawà ng pasakàn ni Pédro nang pagkìt. The leak in the
canoe was where Pedro calked in the wax. ang putikàn a clay-pit; a
person or thing covered with mud. Ang isà ng labangàn ay syà ng nagìng
silangàn kay Hesùs. Jesus was born in a manger; ang kátri ng silangàn
ni Hwána the bed in which Juana's children were born. Sya y sugatàn
He is wounded; ang sugatàn the wounded (as, after a battle). ang
sulatàn a writing-desk. Ang sílong nang báhay ay sya nyà ng taguàn
nang manga kasangkápan sa pagaalwáge. The ground-floor of his house
is where he keeps his carpentry tools. Ang kuwàrto ng itò ay sya kò
ng tulugàn. This room is my sleeping-place. Ang tulugàn nang báhay
ni Hwàn ay nása bubungàn. The sleeping-quarters in Juan's house are
on the roof. ang utusàn a servant, a waiter, an orderly.
Similarly: áral, búkol, dáhil, hárang, hása`, íhaw, ílaw, káin, lúto`,
sábit, sábong, tápon, túlis, úlo, úpa, óras.
With irregularities: hàlamanàn garden, flower-pot (haláman) has
secondary accent on the first of three syllables; angkàn the members of
a given person's immediate family, not including himself: ang angkàn
ni Hwàn Krùs Juan Cruz' wife and children (from -ának, cf. mag-ának,
§ 358,a); kwayanàn, beside kawayanàn (kawáyan).
With irregularity and reduplication: ka-kan-àn (-káin).
380. (1) -an with irregularities forms static words denoting objects by
the action for which they are locally used or by the things they are
the place of; the local meaning is less explicit, and the object has
more fixed identity apart from its local relation than is the case in
the preceding forms. This distinction is very clear where both forms
occur from the same root (cf. kulòng, lagày); it may disappear where
only one form is made (sagíngan, atísan have the same value as nyúgan).
ang atísan a grove of atis trees. Ang asuhàn nang báhay ni Pédro ay
nasúnog. The chimney in Pedro's house burned out. Bigasàn ang kanya ng
sináing. Her boiled rice has raw rice in it, is not done. Ang kanya ng
damìt ay pulahàn. Her clothes are all red. Sya y isà ng pulahàn. He
is a Red, a member of the Red party. ang silángan the east, also
Silángan Silangan (name of a town). ang taanàn a fugitive. ang manòk
na talúnan the defeated game-cock; lúto ng talúnan a dish in which the
defeated game-cock is cooked with ginger. Similarly: bákod, bubòng,
dúlo, gawà`, hanggà, haràp, kulòng, labàng, larò`, likòd, lulòd, paà,
ságing, tintéro.
(a) Some roots which begin with l and most of those whose irregularity
involves contraction, have reduplication in this form: Ang lalagyàn
ko nang librò ay ang mésa ng itò. This table is my bookstand. Ang
uupà ng itò ay gàgamítin nang manga panaúhin. The guests will sit
on these seats. Ang uupà ng itò ay sa háre`. This seat is for the
king. luluràn shin. Similarly: hihigàn (higà`), lalamúnan (lámon),
lalawígan (láwig), sasakyàn (sakày), titirhàn (tirà).
(b) From derived words: Napútol nilà ang púno-ng-káhoy sa
kalahatían. They cut the tree at the middle. Nalagòt ang lúbid sa
kalahatían. The rope broke at the middle. (kalaháti`, § 519). Ang
bútas nang bangkà` ay nása tagilíran. The leak in the canoe is in
the side. Nilagyàn ni Hwàn nang tagilíran ang kanya ng báhay. Juan
put side-walls on his house. (tagílid, § 523).
381. D -an, with accent shift if the root is barytone, forms words
denoting an object which is an imitation or miniature of such and
such: ang dagat-dagátan a lake; ang kabá-kabayúhan a play-horse; ang
tao-taúhan a manikin, doll; the pupil of the eye; ang baril-barílan
a toy-gun. Further derivatives from this formation, see § 352,d.
382. Many roots here treated, because felt, as simple, end in -an:
bangàn, batalàn, dalandàn, hagdàn, haláman, kánan, kápitan, kapitàn,
kawáyan, laráwan, pagítan, pakuwàn, pangnàn a hand-basket, pasígan
(Pásig is the name of a river), pinggàn, saguwàn a paddle, sangkálan,
tampalásan, tahílan.
383. Similar formations with pang- prefixed add the element of
meaning present in the transient formations with mang- and pang-;
they have secondary accent on the prefix, as though it formed part
of the underlying word:
(a) pàng- -an (cf. § 377): Ang kahò ng itò ay sya ng pàngitlúgan nang
manòk. This box is the place where the hen lays its eggs.
(b) pàng- (1) -an (cf. § 378): Si Hwàn ay sya ng paráti ng pàmunúan
nang básag-úlo. Juan is the one who always starts the fighting.
(c) pàng- (2) -an (cf. § 379): pàngaserahàn boarding-place.
II. Secondary groups.
1. Prefix si-.
384. The prefix si- is used only in active transient forms, and
is always preceded by mag- or nag-: mag-si-pútol, mag-sì-si-pútol,
nag-si-pútol, nag-sì-si-pútol. In meaning these forms are explicit
plurals of the primary active forms. Occasionally the plural value
is emphasized by infixation of -ang- into the mag- or nag-.
385. From the simple root the explicit plural with si- corresponds to
the primary actives with -um- or, in many cases, with mag-. Nagsiílag
sila sa báyan nang itò y pasúkin nang manga kaáway. They all fled from
the town when the enemy entered it. Ang manga áso ay nagsìsilámon. The
dogs are eating. Magsiligáya kayò. Rejoice, Be glad. Ang manga langgàm
ay nagsìsilipumpòn (or: nagsìsilípon) sa nápatay nila ng gagambà. The
ants are crowding all over the spider they have killed. Nagsìsipútol
sila ng lahàt nang tubò nang kamì ay dumatìng. They were cutting
sugar-cane when we arrived. Magsipútol kayò nang tubò. Do you all
cut sugar-cane.
So from: akiyàt, alìs, dálaw, dalò, datìng, húli, húsay, iyàk, kantà,
kápit, lakì, lípat, lúlan, pígil, puntà, pustà, sáyad, tindìg, tugtòg,
túlong, túngo, uwì`.
(a) Plurality emphasized: Nangagsiúrong ang manga sundálo. The soldiers
retreated. So also from alìs.
386. This formation is made from the root with pag- prefixed when
it corresponds to primary actives with mag- in contrast with -um-
(§ 351). Nagsìsipagáral silà. They are studying. Magsipagáral
kayò. Study. Ang manga báta` ay áyaw magsipagbíhis. The children don't
want to change their clothes, get dressed up. Ang manga langgàm ay
nagsìsipagípon (or: nagsìsipaglípon) nang pagkáin kung tagáraw. The
ants store up food in the hot season. Magsipagpútol kayò, Pédro, nang
káhoy na gàgamítin sa paglilitsòn. Pedro, do you folks cut some wood
to be used in the barbecue. "Magsìsipagpútol dàw sila nang dikóla,"
ang sábi ni Hwána. "They say they are going to cut off the trains
of their skirts," said Juana. Napsipagpútol nang buhòk ang manga
Intsèk. The Chinamen cut off their queues. Nagsìsipagpútol nang buhòk
ang manga Intsèk na si Yèng at Tsàng, nang sila y datnàn ko sa kanila
ng tindáhan. The Chinamen Yeng and Chang were cutting their queues
when I came upon them in their shop. Nagsipagtipìd ang sundálo. The
soldiers economized.
So from: basà`, dasàl, hintò`, larò`, pasiyàl, sísi, sugàl, takbò,
tindìg, yukayòk.
(a) Plurality emphasized: nangagsipagtakbò.
(b) The pag- is used when the underlying word is a derived word: Ang
manga sundálo ng Tagálog ay nagsipaghimagsìk. The Tagalog soldiers
revolted (-himagsìk, § 518). Nagsipaghìmagsíkan silà. They fought each
other (hìmagsíkan, § 377,a). So from: agawàn (§ 379), -bugtúngan (§
377,a), labanàn (§ 379), takbúhan (§ 377,a). Cf. § 406.
(c) The same formation with accent shift of the root corresponds
to primary actives with mag- (1), § 353. It occurs from: bálot,
lákad, líbot.
387. With pang- prefixed to the root, this formation corresponds to
the primary active with mang- (§ 357). Magsipamangká táyo. Let's all
go canoeing. Magsìsipamiyábas kamì sa manga gúbat na malápit. We are
going guava-picking in the jungles near here. Si Pédro at si Hwàn ay
umáhon sa bundòk úpang magsipamútol nang káhoy na asanà`. Pedro and
Juan went up into the mountains to cut asana. Àáhon kamì sa bundòk at
magsìsipamútol kamì nang muláwin. We are going up into the mountains
to cut molave.
So from: barìl, hína`, hingì`, noòd, tahímik, tálo.
(a) With pang-hin-, cf. § 357,b: Silà y nagsipanghimagsìk. They made
a revolution.
2. The prefix paki-.
388. The prefix paki-, which forms simple static forms, transients,
and abstracts, expresses that the subject of the sentence performs
or undergoes the action along with others that were involved in it
before,--this either through interference or by favor of someone else.
389. Simple static form: ang pakikinábang the obtaining of profit
(kinábang) in trade with others; also: holy communion. So pakipútol,
in command (cf. § 341,3,c), cut as a favor.
390. The active transient and the abstract have the forms: maki-pútol,
makì-ki-pútol, naki-pútol, nakì-ki-pútol, paki-ki-pútol, i. e. the
reduplication affects the syllable -ki-.
Ang kapitàn ay nagpadalà nang isa ng sekréta sa lúpà nang kaáway
úpang makiramdàm nang kanila ng kìlúsan. The captain sent a spy to
the enemy's country to spy out (literally: perceive along) their
movements. Makìkikáin akò kina Lílay. I am going to Lilay's for a
meal. Si Pédro ay nakikáin kina Hwàn. Pedro took a meal at Juan's
house. Nakipútol akò nang damò sa lúpà ni Mariyáno. I obtained
permission to cut grass from Mariano's land. Sila y nàròroòn sa búkid
ni Pédro at nakìkipútol nang damò. They have gone to Pedro's field
and are cutting grass there by his permission. Pumaroòn ka t makipútol
nang damò. Go and ask them to let you cut some grass. Pakikipútol díto
ni Hwàn nang damò ay singilìn mo ang útang nya. When Juan asks to be
allowed to cut grass here, dun him for his debt. Sila y nakisúno kay
Mariyà. They had Maria let them live in her house with her.
So: sakày, sáma, túloy, túlog.
(a) With accent shift of the root (§ 337): makialàm look after someone,
nose into others' affairs (álam).
391. The root has pag- when the formation corresponds to a primary
active with mag- in contrast with -um- (§ 351): Nakìkipagáway ang
báta ng itò, kanyà` hindí dápat pahintulúta ng madalàs na manáog
nang báhay. As this boy gets into fights, he should not often be
allowed to leave the house. Nakipagáway si Pédro. Pedro got into the
fight. Nasaktàn si Hwàn sa kanya ng pakikipaglarò`. Juan got hurt
when he joined into the game. So from: bunò`, dalamháti`, lában,
tagpò`, úsap.
(a) From derived words: Hwag kà ng makipaglàngúyan, Hwàn, at baká
ka malúnod. Don't go swimming with the crowd, Juan, I am afraid
you might get drowned. Makìkipaglàngúyan ka bà, Pédro? Are you
going along swimming, Pedro? Nakipagluksúhan si Hwàn nang idáos ang
manga larò`. Juan entered in the jumping-contest when the games were
held. Similarly, from: pustá-han, siksík-an, takbú-han. All these
belong under § 377,a. See also § 427,b.
(b) Corresponding to primary active with mag- (1) § 353: Nakipagbabàg
si Pédro. Pedro got into a free fight (bábag).
392. The root has pang-, corresponding to a primary active with mang-:
Sya y hindí pinahintulútan sa kanya ng pakikipamútol nang tubò. His
request to be allowed to cut cane was not granted.
393. In the passive the paki- expresses that the subject undergoes the
action along with others, often as a favor on the part of the actor. So
direct passive: paki-putúl-in be cut, as a favor on the part of the
one who does the cutting; the recipient of the favor is the speaker.
394. In the instrumental passive the meaning is similar; sometimes,
however, the instrumental passive is used with the person asking the
favor as agent.
Maárì mo ngà ng ipakihúlog sa kuréyo ang súlat? Will you please
mail my letter for me? (literally: Can my letter please be
thrown-along-with-yours or thrown-as-a-favor into the mail by
you?). Ipinakihúlog ni Pédro ang áki ng súlat. Pedro mailed my letter
(along with his or as a favor) for me. Ipinakìkihúlog ko lámang kay
Pédro ang áki ng manga súlat. I am asking Pedro to mail my letters
for me; here ipinakìkihúlog is not that thrown as a favor, but that
asked to be thrown as a favor. Ipakìkipútol daw ni Hwàn ang buhòk
nang alílà nya ng Intsèk. Juan says he will ask someone to cut his
Chinese servant's hair; ipakìkipútol is here that asked to be cut as
a favor, and the relation of asking is the only thing expressed by
the instrumental (rather than the direct) passive.
395. The root has pag-, corresponding to § 351: Ipakipagpútol mo ngà`
nang buhòk ang guntìng na itò, úpang áti ng masubúkan ang húsay nang
talìm. Please use this shears in cutting hair, so that we may test the
quality of the edge (genuine instrumental passive). Ipakìkipagpútol
daw nya akò nang búhò` pagáhon nya sa bundòk. He says he will cut
some bamboo for me when he goes up into the mountains. (genuine
instrumental passive). Ipinakipagpútol akò ni Hwàn nang tubò. Juan had
someone cut me some sugar-cane (literally: I was asked to be cut for
as a favor). Ipinakìkipagpútol daw ni Hwàn si Pédro nang labòng. Juan
says he is having someone cut bamboo-shoots for Pedro.
396. Local passive with paki-: pinakibalitáan was ascertained by the
actor getting people to tell him as a favor.
(a) From shifted root: pinakialamàn.
(b) With pag- (cf. § 352): pinakìkipagtakbuhàn.
3. The prefix ka-.
397. Secondary forms with the prefix ka- are of most varied meaning;
the principal types express association of two individuals or groups
and involuntary action. In accented form the prefix kà- expresses
chiefly accidental occurrence. In certain passives associated with
this group the prefix itself does not appear.
(1) Simple static forms.
398. Words with prefix ka- denote objects (or groups) standing in
such and such a relation to another object (or group). Sya y áki
ng nagìng kabaláe. He (she) has become my fellow-parent-in-law,
i. e. Our children have intermarried; the form ka-baláe merely
makes explicit the element of relation present in the simple word:
Si Bantùg ay áki ng baláe. Bantug's son (daughter) has married my
daughter (son). Ang manga áso ay nása kabilá nang bákod. The dogs
are on the other side of the fence (the simple -bilà` does not occur;
the idea of other side is always envisaged as relative). Ang búkid ni
Hwàn ay karátig nang kay Pédro. Juan's field borders on Pedro's. Ang
mésa ng itò y kakúlay nang kahòn. This table is of the same color
as the chest. Si Hwàn ang kalában ny Andrès sa larò ng dáma. Juan is
Andres' opponent at checkers. Kamatà si Hwàn ni Pédro. Juan and Pedro
took to each other from first sight. Ang tagpí nang báro ni Pédro ay
hindí kamukhá nang báro`. The patch on Juan's blouse does not match
the blouse. ang áki ng kapatìd na si Hwàn my brother Juan. ang áki
ng kapútol na si Hwàn my brother Juan; ang kapútol nang tubò a piece
(broken off) of the sugar-cane. Ang kasánib nang áki ng banìg ay ang
banìg ni Manuwèl. Manuel's sleeping-mat and mine overlap (kasánib
one of two things of which one overlaps the other). walà ng kasangkàp
without accompaniments, trimmings, affixes. Si Mariyáno ang kasunod kò
ng lumàlákad sa kalsáda. Mariano was the one who was walking behind
me on the street; ang kasunod kò ng naparoòn sa simbáhan the one who
followed me in going to church (kasunòd one of two persons one of whom
is following the other). ang katúngo the person one is dealing with,
the other party. Si Pédro ang kaugáli nang kanya ng kaybíga ng si
Hwàn. Pedro has the same habits as his friend Juan.
Similarly from: áway, báyan, biyàk, bunò`, ribàl, haràp, kilála, kláse,
lákip, larò`, pantày, partè, sabuwàt, sáli, sálo, sáma, súno`, tapàt,
timbà`, untì`, úsap, walà`.
Divergent in meaning are katáo (§ 255), kagabì, kahápon (§
259). Cf. also § 520.
(a) From derived words: Syà y isa kò ng kamagának. He is a relative
of mine (mag-ának, § 358,a), and kamakalawà (§ 259, from maka-lawà,
§ 453).
(b) From a phrase: ang kasa-ng-báhay a person dwelling in the same
house with another, a housemate (isà ng báhay).
(c) From shifted root (§ 337): Si Hwàn ay kagalìt ni Pédro at ni
Kulàs. Juan is at odds with Pedro and Nicolás. ang kanyà ng kagalìt
the person or persons with whom he is at odds. Si Pédro ang nagìng
kasirá ni Hwàn. It is Pedro with whom Juan is angry. Hindí ko katalò
si Párì Hwàn. I don't play winning-and-losing games with Father
Juan. Similarly from álam, sáma.
(d) The root is reduplicated in a few cases: Si Pédro ang áki ng
kababáyan. Pedro is my fellow-townsman (beside kabáyan); katutúbo`
native, ingrown, inborn, inherited.
399. kà-ka-. With accented reduplication of the prefix these forms
emphasize the incompleteness of the correlative object: Kàkapútol
lámang na tubò ang áki ng nàkúha. I got only a little piece of the
sugar-cane. So also kákauntè`.
400. ka- R. With accented reduplication of the underlying word ka-
forms words expressing the recent completion of an act; they are
used impersonally (§ 77) or as conjunctive attributes. Kaàáway pa
lámang ni Hwàn sa kanya ng kalarò`. Juan has only just now quarreled
with his playmate. Kabàbángon ko. I have just got up. Kagàgáling sa
báyan nang kapatìd ko ng babáye. My sister has just come back from
town. Kahíhiga ko pa lámang. I had just then lain down. Kalàlarú ku pa
lámang sa báta`. I have just finished playing with the child. Kapùpútol
ko pa lámang nang yantòk. I have only just now cut some rattan. So
gísing, káin.
(a) ka-pag- R, with the usual value of pag- (§ 369, etc.): Kapagpùpútol
lámang ni Hwàn nang kawáyan. Juan has just come from cutting bamboo.
(b) ka-pang- R, corresponding to active with mang- (§ 357): kapamùmútol
(pútol).
401. ka- D. With doubling of the root ka- has causative value: it
expresses that which causes such and such an involuntary action,
specifically, such and such an emotion: Ang dumatìng na bálang
ay katákot-tákot ang dámi. The locusts that came were frightful in
quantity. So from hiyà`, takà. Vowel-contraction in kàwáwa` pitiable,
piteous (for ka-áwa-áwa`). Slightly divergent in meaning is karáka-ráka
(§ 265,5).
402. In a different use ka- has the form kay- in some words; these
formations express a remarkable degree of a quality; they are used
impersonally (§ 76), as predicate (§ 247), occasionally as conjunctive
attributes: kaálat kayálat what saltiness! (of water); kay-asùl what
blueness! Katáyog nang púno-ng-niyòg na iyòn! How tall that cocoanut
tree is! Kayuntì` nang ibinigày nya ng laruwàn sa ákin! How few toys
he gave me! So: kay-dámot, ka-rámot, ka-rúnong, ka-itìm, kakínis,
ka-láyo`, ka-muntì`, ka-pulà, ka-tabà`, kay-tipìd.
(a) With reduplication of the root, this form refers to the quality
in an explicit plurality of objects: kaiitèm what blackness! (of
several things); Kalalamìg nang paà nang manga báta`! How cold the
children's feet are!
(b) With doubled root these forms intensify the quality: Kaydámot-dámot
nang báta ng itò! What a terribly stingy child! (kaydámot, karámot
what stinginess! ang dámot stinginess).
403. A few forms with accented ka- prefixed to the root envisage the
accidental nature of the reciprocal relation: Ang manga damìt na
itò ay kásiya sa baòl. These clothes will fit into the trunk. Akò
ang kásundo` ni Pépe sa pagpapalarò` nang bèsbol sa manga báta`. I
am at one with Pepe as to letting the children play baseball. Hábang
akò y nagdádaàn, kátaon namà ng isinábuy nya ang túbig. He threw out
the water at the very time, it happened, that I was passing by. ang
kàtiwála` a confidential agent, manager, overseer.
The words káluluwà and kápuwà`, which resemble this formation, seem
to be felt as simple roots and have been so treated here.
(2) Normal transients, abstracts, and special static forms.
404. k-um-a-. An active with -um- is made from ka-úsap as underlying
word: Si Hwàn ay kumàkaúsap sa ákin. Juan was talking at me,
haranguing me.
405. mag-ka- pag-ka-ka-. Actives with mag- and abstracts with pag-
r from underlying words with ka- express a partial affection of the
actor or of a group of actors; ka- here has its involuntary force:
the actor is not a rational and voluntary agent. Nagkaroòn ako nang
trabáho kanína ng umága, sapagkàt nagpasakày akò sa trèn nang manga
kamátis nang tátay ko. I was kept busy this morning, for I attended
to the shipping by train of my father's tomatoes. Nagkaroòn sya
nang gálit. He harbored ill-feeling. Nagkagulò ang manga Amerikáno
sa pagdatìng nang Dòytsland. The Americans were surprised at the
coming of the "Deutschland". Nagkagustò sya ng kumáin nang súha`. He
conceived a desire of eating grape-fruit. Nagkàkalípon ang manga
langgàm sa púto. The ants are getting all over the cake. Akò y
nagkamálay pagkaraàn nang ilà ng sandalì ng paghihimatày. I returned
to consciousness after a few moments' fainting-spell. Nagkapálad si
Hwàn na makaratìng díto ng maluwalháti`. Juan was fortunate enough to
get back here safe and sound. Ang pakwàn ay nagkasíra`. The watermelon
got partly spoiled. Ang manga ságing ay nagkasíra` sa kalaúnan nang
pagkàtágo` sa lalagyàn. Some of the bananas got spoiled on account
of the long time they were kept stored. Nása simbáhan. silà nang
magkasúnog. They were at church when a fire occurred. Twi ng papasúkin
ko sa kuràl ang manga kalabàw ay nagkákawalá silà. Every time I put
the carabao into the corral, they get away.
So: búkol, hinòg.
406. mag-ka- (1) pag-ka-ka- (1). Accent shift in this formation serves
various uses:
(a) It may be due to the root: Si Hwàn ay nagkasakìt noo ng bwà ng
nagdaàn. Juan had a sickness last month. Si Hwàn ay hindí makapútol
nang káhoy, sapagkàt mahínà pa sya dahilàn sa pagkakasakìt. Juan cannot
cut wood, because he is still weak on account of his recent illness.
(b) It expresses plurality: Magkákaputòl ang manga tubò. The sugar-cane
will get broken in numbers. Nagkaputòl ang manga tubò sa lakàs nang
hángin. The sugar-cane broke in quantity under the violence of the
wind. Nagkákaputòl ang manga tubò sa kalakasàn nang hángin. Much
sugar-cane is breaking under the force of the wind.
So also from lúnod.
(c) The form is really a simple active with mag- from an underlying
word of the form ka- (1), § 398,c; three words of this kind occur:
Sila y nagkagalìt. They quarreled. ang pagkakagalìt the quarrel. Ang
Hapòn at ang Tsína ay nagkasirà`. Japan and China had a break. Silà
y nagkatalò. They played a winning-and-losing game. Nagkatalu nà ang
manga nagsúsugàl. The gamblers have lost and won, have finished their
winning-and-losing game.
In accordance with § 356, the underlying word is doubled with
distributive plural meaning: Sila ng ápat ay nagkagá-kagalìt. The
four of them all got angry at one another.
Similarly, an explicit plural with mag-si-pag- is formed (cf. §
386,b): Nagsipagkasirá silà. They had a falling out.
407. (a) mag-ka- r pag-ka-ka- r. The reduplication of the root
expresses repeated action in a form with retraction of accent and
irregular insertion of ng after the prefix: Sya y nagkàkangdadápa`. He
kept falling on his face.
(b) mag-ka- D pag-ka-ka- D. Doubling of the root seems a more regular
expression of the same value: nagkàkaumpòg-umpòg.
408. Special static words with mag-ka- are simply dual collectives with
mag- (§ 358,a) from underlying words with ka- (§ 398): Ang banìg ni
Hwàn at ni Pédro ay magkaánib (or: magkasánib) sa pagkàlátag. Juan's
and Pedro's sleeping-mats overlap each other as they are spread. ang
magkabaláe a pair of persons related by intermarriage of their
children (more insistent on the relational element, but practically
equal to magbaláe, § 358,a). Ang dalawa ng manòk ay magkabukòd nang
kulungàn. The two chickens were in separate crates. Ang búkid ni Hwàn
at ni Pédro ay magkarátig. Juan's field and Pedro's border on each
other. Si Pédro at si Hwàn ay magkapantày. Pedro and Juan are of the
same height. ang magkapatìd two brothers or sisters, a brother and
a sister. ang magkapútol na si Andrès at si Rafayèl the brothers
Andrés and Rafael. Magkapútol kamì ni Hwàn nang báro`. Juan and I
have blouses made of the same cloth. dalawà ng bágay na gàgawi ng
magkasunòd two things that are to be done one after the other.
(a) From kababáyan (§ 398,d): dalawà ng estudyànte ng magkababáyan
two students from the same town.
409. mag-ka-ka. As the explicit plural corresponding to these duals
reduplicates the underlying word (§ 358,b), the syllable ka- is
repeated in this meaning: ang magkakapatìd a group of three or more
brothers and (or) sisters; in the same meaning ang magkakapútol. So
also from: bukòd, sáma, súno`.
(a) The form magkababáyan (§ 408,a) rejects the extra reduplication,
and is therefore plural as well as dual: tatlo ng estudyànte ng
magkababáyan three students from the same town.
410. mag-kà- pag-ka-kà-. The transient with mag- and abstract with
pag- r from underlying words with kà- have the accidental value of
the latter prefix, usually with a dual reciprocal meaning. Sa kabilà
ng bandà mo ibwàl ang púno ng iyàn, sapagkàt kung irè ay ibuwal kò y
baká magkádagan ang dalawa ng púno`. Fell your tree in the direction
away from me, so that if I fell this one, the two trees won't fall one
on top of the other. Magkàkàdagàn ang dalawa ng púno ng itò, kapag
hindí mo ibinwàl sa kabilà ng bandà iya ng pinùpútol mo. These two
trees will fall one on top of the other, if you don't make the one you
are cutting down fall the other way. Nagkádagan ang dalawa ng báta`
nang mahúlog sila sa hagdàn. The two children landed one on top of
the other when they fell from the ladder. Ilabas mò sa búkid, Kulàs,
ang dalawa ng sáko ng pálay na nagkàkàdagàn na nása bangàn. Nicolás,
take out to the field the two bags of rice that are lying one on top
of the other in the granary. Ang pagkakáiba nang ugáli ni Pédro at ni
Hwàn ay gáya nang pagkakáiba nang túbig at nang apòy. The difference
in character between Pedro and Juan is like the difference between
water and fire. magkáhiwalày part from each other (by force of
circumstances, of two people). Ang ikinahátì nang palayòk ay ang
masamà ng pagkakálagay nitò. What caused the rice-pot to break was
the bad way it was placed. magkàmáyaw harmonize. ang pagkakásabày the
happening at the same time of two events. Sya y nagkàsála. He sinned
(against the moral order, God, etc.) Ang pagkakàsála kay Bathála`
ay pinarùrusáhan sa infiyèrno. Sinning against God is punished in
hell. Bìbilhin kò ang kabáyo ng iyòn, kung magkàkàsya ang áki ng
kwaltà. I shall buy this horse, if my money is sufficient. Walá sila
ng pagkakásundò`. The two don't agree on anything. ang pagkakátaòn
the coincidence in time of one event with another, of two events. ang
pagkakátayò` the standing up together (even of more than two people).
(a) Somewhat different are kung magkàbihíra` at odd times; kung
magkágayòn when things turn out thus, when this is the state of
affairs. So also, with static value: Ang magkábila ng dúlo nang lápis
ay matúlis. Both ends of the pencil are sharpened.
411. mag-kà- D pag-ka-kà- D. With doubled root plurality is expressed:
Nagkàhiwá-hiwalày ang manga dáhun nang librò. The leaves of the book
came apart. Ang manga ginágawá nya ng pangísip nang manga makabuluhà
ng fétsa nang istòriya ay ang pagkakàsunòd-sunòd at pagítan nilà. He
remembers the important dates of history by their sequence and their
intervals.
(a) With accent shift, from a barytone root: Nagkàputol-putòl ang
katawàn nang táo ng nàsagasáan nang trèn. The body of the man who
was run over by the train got all mangled. Nagkàkàputol-putòl ang
katawàn nang bála ng táo ng màsagasáan nang trèn. The body of a person
run over by a train is cut to pieces. Magkàkàputol-putòl ang túbo ng
kristàl na iyàn kapag iyo ng ibinagsàk. If you drop that glass tube,
it will break into a thousand pieces.
412. ka- (1) -in, k-in-a-. The simple direct passive is formed from
an underlying derived word with ka- with normal meaning. So from
ka-lában, ka-úsap.
(a) A special static word corresponding to those in § 366 is ang
kinákapatìd the child of one's godparents (from ka-patìd).
From it are derived the dual collective (§ 358,a) magkinákapatìd a
pair of such, and the plural (§ 358,b) magkikinákapatìd three or more,
as a group.
413. i-ka- i-k-in-a-. The instrumental passive with prefix ka-
has a specialized meaning: it expresses transiently, an inanimate,
or at least irrational and involuntary, object or circumstance which
causes such and such an action: and this latter action is in turn
also involuntary or out of control of the actor (as, for instance,
the ability to do a thing), see § 432 ff.
Ang kawalàn ni Andrès nang hánap-búhay sa báya ng itò ay sya nyà ng
ikinaalìs. Andrés' inability to make a living in this town is what
forced him to leave. Ang malì ng anyò nang pulúbe ay siyà ng ikinaáwa`
sa kanya ni Hwàn. The bad condition of the beggar was what made Juan
pity him. Ang pagsasakày nang kutséro nang manga táo ng may sakìt
na nakàhàháwa ay sya ng ikinabáwì nang kanya ng pahintúlot. The
driver's taking people with contagious diseases into his carriage
was what caused his license to be withdrawn. Ang ikinahárang nang
mangà naglálakàd ay ang pagkáalam nang manga tulisàn na silà y may
dalà ng kwaltà. What caused the wayfarers to be held up was the
robbers' happening to know that they had money with them. Ikinaháte
ni Hwàn sa búnga ang kanya ng laséta. Juan's knife enabled him to
cut the betel fruit. Ang pagkasála nya sa singsìng ay ang hindí niya
ikinakúha nang ganti ng pála`. His missing the ring is what kept him
from winning the prize. Yòn ay áki ng ikinalúlungkòt. I am sorry,
I am sorry to hear that. Ang pangungublì nang manga sundálo ay sya
nilà ng hindí ikinamatày. The soldiers' keeping in hiding is what
saved their lives. Ikinapútol nang yantòk na pamálo` ang pagkàpálu
kay Hwàn. The caning Juan got broke the rattan that was used on
him. Ikinapùpútol nang marámi ng tubò ang malakàs na hángin. The
strong wind is making much sugar-cane break. Ikapùpútol nang manga
sangà nang káhoy ang malakàs na hángi ng itò. This strong wind will
cause many branches of trees to break off. Ikapùpútol nya sa manga
kawáyan ang paggúlang nitò. The aging of the bamboo plants will force
him to cut them down. Ang pagkalúnod nang Kastíla` ay ikinatákot nang
tatlò ng magkakaybígan. The drowning of the Spaniard frightened the
three friends. Ang kanyà ng pagmamasìd sa manga tála` sa gabì ay sya
nyà ng malakì ng ikinatútuwà`. His observation of the stars at night
is his great source of pleasure.
Similarly, from: bingì, búhay, búti, gálit, hángo`, húlog, káya,
lípat, lúgi, túlong, walà`.
414. i-pag-ka- i-p-in-ag-ka. With pag- this instrumental passive
corresponds to the active with magka- (§ 405). The reduplication of
the durative forms affects the ka-.
Ang ipinagkagusto nyà ng kumáin nang sorbétes ay ang kainítan. It
is the heat which makes him want to eat ices. Ipagkákamatày nang
manga manòk ang masamà ng túbig. The bad water will make the chickens
die. Ang kalamigàn sa tagulàn ay sya ng ipinagkàkamuò nang túbig sa
ílog. The cold weather in winter is what makes the water in the river
congeal. Baká ipagkawalá nang manga manòk sa kulungàn ang pagpapapások
mo doòn niyà ng áso. See that your putting that dog into the enclosure
doesn't make the chickens try to get away. Ipagkákawalà nang bíhag
ang pagkàbalíta` sa kanyà nang parúsa ng kàkamtan nyà. The captive's
being told of the punishment he will get, will make him try to
escape. Ipinagkawalá nya sa kùlúngan ang pagpapahírap sa kanyà. Their
torturing him made him escape from his confinement. Ipinagkákawalà
nya sa bìlanggúan ang masamà ng pagpapakáin sa kanya díto. The bad
food they gave him in the jail made him try to escape.
415. Similarly, with accent shift this passive corresponds to the
active with mag-ka- (1), § 406,b. Ipinagkàkabalè` (or: ipinagkàkaputòl)
nang manga sangà nang káhoy ang bagyò ng itò. This hurricane is
breaking off many branches of trees. Nang ipagkaputòl nang áki ng
manga tubò ang hángin ay nalungkùt akò. When the wind broke down my
sugar-cane I was dismayed. Ipinagkaputòl nang manga tubò ang malakàs
na hángi ng nagdaàn. The recent strong wind broke down much sugar-cane.
Similarly: ipinagkasakìt (sákit).
416. Special static forms with i-ka- are made from the numerals,
with occasional contraction, forming ordinals and fractions: ikaánim
ikánim the sixth; ikaápat ikápat the fourth, a fourth, a quarter;
ikalawà the second; ikalimà the fifth; ikapitò the seventh; ikatlò
the third. Cf. § 347,a.
(a) The ordinal corresponding to isà one is however the independent
root úna first; half is kalaháte`, § 519.
(b) From phrases, of course, the higher numbers: ikaisa-ng-daàn
hundredth; ikaisa-ng-laksà` millionth; ikaisa-ng-líbo thousandth;
ikasa-m-pù` tenth; ikalabi-ng-isà eleventh; ikadalawa-ng-pù` twentieth;
ikadalawa-ng-pù-t-isà twenty-first.
417. i-kà- i-k-in-à-. The instrumental passive from the root with
accented kà- differs from that with unaccented ka- (§ 413) in that
the action or occurrence caused is not only involuntary but accidental
and entirely out of the control of the actor (see § 458 ff.).
Ang ikinàgùgusto kò sa kayibígan ko ng si Hwàn ay ang kanya ng mabaìt
na ugáli`. What makes me have a liking for my friend Juan is his
lovable character. Ang ginawá nya ng paggugupìt sa manga retáso ng
itinàtágo nang kanya ng nánay ay sya nyà ng ikinàpálo`. His cutting up
the patches his mother was saving is what made it necessary to thrash
him. Ang ikinásakay nyà sa kabáyo ng bara-barà ay ang kawalàn nya
nang iba ng kabáyo. What made him get on the wild horse was his lack
of other horses. Ikinátahol nang áso ang pagkádapá ni Hwan. Juan's
falling down made the dog bark.
So also from: iyàk, pátag.
(a) Accent shift is due to the root: Ang pagkátahol nang áso ay sya ng
ikinágising nang natùtúlug na báta`. The barking of the dog was what
made the sleeping child wake up. Ikàtàtawa nyà ang iyo ng sàsabíhin. He
won't be able to keep from laughing when you say that. Ikinàtàtawà ni
Hwàn ang sinábi ni Pédro. What Pedro said makes Juan laugh in spite
of himself.
418. Corresponding to primary actives with mag- contrasted with -um-,
and with mang-, we should expect pag- and pang- to be retained before
the root in these formations; the only example is: ikinápagtirà,
corresponding to magtirà, in contrast with tumirà (§§ 348. 351).
419. ka- (1) -an, k-in-a- (1) -an. The local passive with ka- is
used when the action is an involuntary one, especially an emotion,
of a rational actor, or when the actor is inanimate or irrational.
Ang hulihàn nang manga kinagalítan ni Patúpat ay idináos nang manga
gwàrdiya-sibìl kagabè. The arrest of the people who have incurred
Patupat's anger was carried out by the gendarmes last night. Kahiyaàn
mò ang táo ng matandà`. Reverence the aged. ang kinahulúgan nang báta`
the place from which the child fell. Ang bintána ng iyàn ang syà ng
kahùhulúgan nang báta`, pag hindí mo isinarà. The child will fall
out of that window, if you don't shut it. Baká ninyo kalunúran ang
ílog, manga báta`. See that you don't get drowned in that river,
children. Ang kanya ng kalùlunúran ay ang ílog na itò. He will
get drowned in this river some day. ang báhay na kinamatayàn the
house where someone died, ang báhay nang kinamatayàn the house in
which someone died, the house of the bereaved family. Kinapatiràn
nang lúbid ang lugàr na malápit sa dúlo-ng-bandà-ng-kaliwà`. The
rope broke at a point near the left-hand end. Ang kapàpatiràn nang
sinúlid ay malápit sa buhòl. The place where the thread will break
is near the knot there. Kinatakútan nya ang báhay na pinagpatayàn sa
kúra`. He was afraid of the house where the priest was killed. Ang
kinatàtakútan nang manga báta` ay ang núno`. The children are afraid
of the ghost. Katakútan ninyò ang núno`. You had better be afraid
of ghosts. Kinatamaràn ni Hwàn ang kanyà ng pagaáral. Juan became
neglectful about his studying. Nang katamaràn ni Hwàn ang kanya
ng pagaáral ay malápit na syà ng makatápos nang karéra. When Juan
became lazy about his studies, he was already near the end of his
course. Katàtamaran nyà ang kanyà ng pagaáral, pag binigyàn mo syà
nang marámi ng salapè`. He will be lazy about his studies, if you
give him too much money.
Similarly from: buwísit, íwan, kíta, walà`.
(a) With shifted root: Isa ng pulúbe ang kinaàawaàn ni Hwàn. It was
a beggar who aroused Juan's pity.
420. pag-ka- (1) -an, p-in-ag-ka- (1) -an; pag-ka- (2) -an, p-in-ag-ka-
(2) -an. Local passives with pag- before the ka- involve a plurality
of actors. The durative reduplication affects the ka-; barytone roots
have an extra accent-shift.
Ang kináin nang usà ay malakì ng pinagkàkagustuhàn nang
manga Ilóko. The Iloco are very fond of the contents of deers'
stomachs. Pinagkàkalipumpunàn nang manga langgàm ang púto. The ants
are swarming all over the cake. Ang pinagkamatayàn nang manga kambèng
ay ang lugàr na itò. This is the place where the goats perished. Hwag
mò ng dalhìn sa bundòk ang manga manòk, sapagkàt iyò y kanilà ng
pagkàkamatayàn. Don't take the chickens into the hills, for they
would die there.
Barytone roots: Pinagkatakutàn nilà ang báhay na pinagpatayàn
sa kúra`. They were afraid of the house where the priest was
killed. Pinagkàkatakutàn nilà ang manga mababagsìk na háyop. They
are afraid of wild animals. Hwag mò ng ipamalíta` ang nàkíta nátin
díto, sapagkàt baká ang lugàr na itò y pagkatakutàn. Don't tell what
we have seen here, for this place would be feared. Pagkàkatakutàn
nilà ang lugàr na itò, pag nàláman nilà ang nangyári ng paghaharangàn
díto. They will be afraid of this place when they know of the hold-ups
that occurred here. ang pinagkatalunàn that which was the occasion
of winning by many (tálo).
421. ka- S -an. Special static words, corresponding to those with S
-an (§ 377) are formed with prefix ka- from oxytone roots; in meaning
they are collectives and abstracts of quality: ang kasàyáhan gladness;
Ang katàmáran ni Patrísiyo ay katutúbo` sa kanya ng láhi`. Patricio's
laziness is inborn in his family. So from the roots: baìt, banàl,
damdàm, dangàl, duwàg, lagày, lungkòt, luwàng, mahàl, malì`, matày,
pintàs, sangkàp, tungkòl, tuwà`, tuwìd.
Divergent in meaning is ang Kapampángan a Pampanga, if from pangpàng.
The secondary accent is lacking, irregularly, in kalayáan (layà`); with
contraction in kayilángan, kaylángan (beside kailángan, from ilàng).
(a) This latter word underlies an active with mang-, an abstract with
pang- r, and a simple direct passive: nangàngayilángan requires; ang
pangangayilángan need, necessity; Kàkayilangáni ng magdaàn si Pédro
ríto bágu sya umalìs. Pedro will have to come here before he leaves.
(b) From a derived word, with the secondary accent irregularly
placed: Boo ng báyan ay nagdíwang sa kapangànákan ni Risàl. The whole
country celebrated Rizal's birthday; also: ang áraw nang kapangànákan
birthday,--from panganàk (§ 347).
422. ka- (2) -an. Barytone roots have, in the same sense, an accent
shift of two syllables, corresponding to § 379. Boò ng kabahayàn ang
nàkíta námin sa gitnà nang daàn. We saw a whole set of household goods
in the middle of the road; also: ang kabahayàn a house containing
several dwellings. Marámi sa manga táo ang nakàkìkilála nang kanila
ng karapatàn, dátapuwat nakalìlímot nang kanila ng katungkúlan. Many
are the people who know their rights but forget their duties. Ang
karamútan nang páre` ay nagìng kasabihàn. The stinginess of the priest
is proverbial. Ang katakutàn sa Dyòs ay isa ng kabàítan. Fear of
the Lord is a virtue. Ang pagbibigày nang sigarìlyo ay isa sa manga
matatandà ng kaugaliàn sa Filipínas. Giving cigarettes is one of the
old customs in the Philippines. ang kawikaàn a proverb.
So from abála, áraw, búlo, gámit, húlog, íbig, lángit, payápa`, síra`,
tápos, útos.
With contraction: kahariyàn, kaharyàn (hári`), and, if from táo,
katawàn body.
(a) From the latter word there is an abstract of action, with pang-
r: ang pangangatawàn physique (cf. pananamìt, etc., § 357).
423. ka- (1) -an. Corresponding to the formation (1) -an (§ 378), the
collective-abstracts of this type with ka- have formal irregularities
and, where there is any contrast (e. g. mahàl), less explicit and
more specialized meaning than the preceding two groups.
ang kaalátan saltiness (of water). Sa gabì ng itò ang kabilúgan nang
buwàn. The fullness of the moon is tonight. Ang kadalamhatían ay
isa ng damdámi ng hindí nàràrápat sa táo. Grief is an emotion not
becoming to a man or woman. ang karunúngan wisdom. ang kahangalàn
foolishness (ang hangàl a fool). ang kaibhàn the difference. ang
kalinísan cleanness, cleanliness. ang kamatsingàn monkey-tricks,
naughtiness. ang kamuráhan cheapness. Sawì` ang kanya ng kapaláran. His
luck is bad. Sa kapanayàn nang ulàn kung tagulàn ay hindí masiglà ang
báyan. The town is not cheerful during the unabated rains of the rainy
season. Ang manga táo y marámi ng kasalánan. People have many sins. ang
kasamaàn badness. kasawiàn poor position, awkwardness. kasinungalíngan
falsehood, a lie. kasipágan diligence. Ang desgrásya ng nangyári
kay Hwàn ay isa ng hampàs nang katalagahàn. The misfortune which
has come to Juan is a blow of fate. Ang kanila ng pagílag ay hindí
katapángan. Their fleeing was not a brave act. ang boò ng kataúhan
all mankind. ang katipúnan a meeting, Katipúnan a secret society
organized against the Spaniards; a member of this. kayabángan pride.
So from: bába`, bábaw, bigàt, buhángin, búhay, búti, dalàs, dámi,
dámot, dániw (if karaniyúwan is so to be analyzed), dilìm, ginháwa,
gúbat, hába`, hína`, hírap, iklì`, ínit, lakàs, lakì, lamìg, lápad,
láon, liìt, lóko, lúnod, lupìt, mahàl, mangmàng, párang, fiyèsta,
pulò`, sakìm, salàt, salbáhi, salúkoy, taàs, Tagálog, tahímik, tákaw,
tákot, talíno, tampalásan, tangháli`, túlin, túnay, totoò, ulòl,
walà`, yáman.
(a) From a phrase: Iyò y kawala-ng-hyaàn ni Pédro. That was a shameless
action of Pedro's (walà ng hiyà`).
(b) From derived words: ang Kakapampangánan the Pampanga country
(Kapampángan, § 421).
ang boò ng kamaganákan nina Krùs, Bantòg, at iba pà the whole
relationship of the Cruz's, Bantogs, and so on; ang boò ng kamaganákan
ni Pédro Vyóla the whole family of Pedro Viola (magának, § 358,a).
ang kapangyaríhan power (-pangyári, as though by § 347).
424. ka- r (1) -an, ka- r (2) -an. With reduplication of the root and
accent shift of one syllable for an oxytone root, of two in barytone
roots, ka- and -an form special static words denoting something
surprising or provocative of such and such an emotion.
Itù y kagagawàn ni Hwàn! This is some of Juan's work! cf. Itù y gawá
ni Hwàn. Juan did this, made this. Ang pagkáupo ni Pédro sa sùgálan ay
kagagawàn nang isa nyà ng kaybígan. Pedro's sitting at the gaming-table
was the work of one of his fine friends. Ang pàtáya ng nangyári kagabì
ay kagagawàn ni Pédro. The killing which occurred last night was some
of Pedro's doing. So: katuturàn a correct outcome (tuwìd).
Barytone roots: Ang katatakutàn nang báta` ay ang núno`. The thing
that arouses the child's fear is a ghost. Ang kanya ng katatawanàn
ay ang unggò`. His source of laughter is the monkey. ang salità ng
katatawanàn a jest-word, a funny expression.
425. With secondary accent on the first syllable of the underlying
word, ka- and -an form also words denoting one of two reciprocal
actors. This is the form for oxytone roots, ang kabìgáyan a person
with whom one exchanges gifts. Si Hwána ay siya ng kabùlúngan ni
Maryà. Juana is the one Maria whispers with. ang kahampásan one of
two who perform mutual flagellation, kahìráman one of two who borrow
from each other. kaìnúman person one drinks with. kakàlabítan one of
two who touch each other. Ang kapàtáyan ni Hwàn ay si Pédro. Juan is
engaged in a mortal conflict with Pedro. Ang kapàtíran ni Hwána nang
sinúlid ay ang kanya ng kaybíga ng si Maryà. Juana cuts thread with
her friend Maria. ang kasàlitáan the person with whom one converses. Si
Hwàn ay kaùlúlan ni Pédro. Juan and Pedro fool each other. ang kaùpúan
one of two who sit together.
426. Barytone roots add accent shift of one syllable. Ang kahùlúgan nya
nang súha` ay ang kanyà ng kapatìd. The one with whom he takes turns at
dropping down grape-fruit from the tree is his brother. ang kahùníhan
one of two birds that chirp at each other. ang kaìbígan one of two
who love each other. ang kakàínan one of two who eat together. Si
Hwána ay siya ng kapùtúlan ni Maryà nang kukò. Juana and Maria cut
each other's fingernails. ang kasùlátan one's correspondent. ang
katàlúnan one's opponent in a dispute.
(a) The shift is due to the root in: Si Maryà ay syà ng kaàbútan ni
Hwána nang manga mabangù ng bulaklàk. Maria and Juana hand each other
fragrant flowers (as in some ceremony or game).
(b) With contraction and lack of secondary accent: ang kayibígan,
kaybígan a friend (contrast kaìbígan above).
(c) In a few instances barytone roots have accent shift of two
syllables without secondary accent. Si Maryáno ay kahatakàn ni Kulàs
nang lúbid. Mariano is pulling at the rope against Nicolás. ang
kamurahàn one of two who curse at each other (with meaning ordinarily
peculiar to the shifted root, § 337). Sumúlong at Kasamahàn Sumulong
and Company. kasulatàn one's correspondent (equal to kasùlátan,
above). Ang katuruàn ni Pédro ay ang báta ng si Hwàn. Pedro and little
Juan are pointing at each other.
427. These formations serve as underlying words of a few derivatives:
(a) Active with mag- and abstract with pag- r (§ 352): ang
pagkakayibígan the joining in friendship of two people.
(b) Secondary active with maki- from the preceding: makipagkayibígan
win one's way into someone's friendship, become friends with someone.
(c) Dual collective with mag- (§ 358,a): Si Pédro at si Hwàn ay
magkahìráman nang sambalílo at sandàlyas. Pedro and Juan lend each
other hats and sandals. magkaìbígan a pair of lovers. magkaybígan a
pair of friends.
(d) Where the dual value of the underlying form is weak, explicit
plurals of the preceding with mag- r (§ 358,b) occur: ang magkakaybígan
a group of three or more friends. ang magkakasamahà ng si Pédro, si
Hwàn, at si Andrès the party consisting of Pedro, Juan, and Andrés. ang
magkakasamahà ng sina Pédro the party of Pedro and his followers. Ang
magkakasamahà ng nagsipagpasyàl ay sina Maryà, Hwána, Pédro,
at Kulàs. The party that went for a walk consisted of Maria, Juana,
Pedro, and Nicolás. Ang magkakasamahà ng napasa húlo` at napaluwásan
ay sinà Mariyáno, Pépe, at Kulàs at sina Pédro, Húlyo, at Andrès. The
groups that went upstream and downstream were, respectively, Mariano,
Pepe, and Nicolás and Pedro, Julio, and Andrès. Ang tatlo ng manòk na
ytò y magkakasamahà ng inihatid díto, ang ibà y magkakabukòd. These
three chickens were brought here together, the others each by itself.
428. kà- (1) -an, k-in-à- (1) -an. Local passives with kà- denote the
place where someone or something happens to be. Hwag kà ng kumibò`
sa iyò ng kinàdòroonàn. Don't stir from the spot (where you happen
to be). Sa alì ng bandà ang kinàdòroonàn nang báya-ng-Kamálig?--Sa
bandà ng kaliwà`. In which direction is the town of Camalig?--Toward
the left. Ang báya-ng-Balíwag ay ang kinàmahalà ng úna ng úna nang
pálay. The town of Baliuag was the first place where rice got dear. Ang
kàpàpatayàn sa táo ng iyàn ay ang bigtíhan. This man will end on the
gallows. Ang báya-ng-Balíwag ang iyu ng kàtùtungúhan pag tinuntùn mo
ang landàs na iyàn. You will get to the town of Baliuag if you follow
that path.
Similarly from: bíngit, búrol, kulòng, lagày, tágo`, tayò`, tirà, upò`.
Divergent in meaning are kinàbukásan (§ 260) and, from a phrase,
kinàháti-ng-gabihàn (§ 260, háti ng gabì).
429. pag-kà- (1) -an, p-in-ag-kà- (1) -an. Local passives of this
type with pag- reduplicate the kà-; they refer to other local passive
relations than place in which; so: pagkàkilanlàn be the occasion of
showing something; pagkàsyahàn be the container of something that
fits in; pagkàsunduwàn, pagkàsunduàn be agreed upon.
430. Special static words with kà- and -an are few and differ in
meaning.
(a) Ang kàgalítan nila Andrès, Hwàn, at Mariyáno ay napáwì na. The
quarrel between Andrés, Juan, and Mariano has been appeased; this
is no doubt merely a plural with S -an (§ 377,a) from the underlying
word kagalìt (§ 398,c).
It forms the underlying word of a simple active with mag- and abstract
with pag- r: ang pagkakàgalítan a quarrel (of two or more people).
(b) Si Pédro ay kàibígan ni Maryà. Pedro is liked by Maria. Sina
Pédro, Kulàs, at Hwàn ay sya ng manga kàibígan ni Mariyáno. Pedro,
Nicolàs, and Juan are the ones whom Mariano likes. This is probably
a real special static word corresponding to the transient with kà-
(1) -an (§ 428).
Derived active with mag-: Nagkàkàibígan si Pédro at si Hwána. Pedro
and Juana are in love with each other, have come to like each other.
(c) Ang kàtwáan ay náhintò` sa pagdatìng nang isa ng magnanákaw. The
rejoicing was stopped by the coming of a robber. This is, in form
at least, a plural with S -an from an underlying -katuwà`, which is
not known.
Derived active with mag-: magkàtwáan rejoice together, be merry
together.
The same form is seen in kàlingkíngan; little finger, fifth finger;
if this is from a root -lingkìng.
431. ka- (1) D -an. With doubling of the root and radical accent shift:
Kàunà-unáha ng dumatìng si Hwàn. Juan got there the very first. So:
kàhulì-hulíhan the very last.
(3) Additional transients, abstracts, and special static forms.
432. The prefix ka- in its involuntary meaning and the prefix kà- in
its accidental meaning appear in an additional set of transients and
abstracts with maka-, makà- prefixed for the active, ma-, mà- for the
passives, and pagka-, pagkà- for the abstract. The meanings of these
forms are most varied; especially in the direct passive, where the
involuntary or accidental character of the actor sometimes reaches
the point where an actor is entirely left out of view or lacking,
and the passive borders closely on active meaning. For this reason
it will be convenient to divide the uses into a number of somewhat
arbitrarily defined groups. The forms are as follows:
433. The active forms with ka- are: maka-, maka- R, naka-, naka- R;
abstract pagka-.
The active expresses an inanimate object or circumstance causing an
emotion or feeling; the meaning, then, is the same as in the forms
with i-ka- (§ 413), except that here the thing causing the emotion is
viewed as an actor. Nakabùbúlag ang ílaw. The light is blinding. Ang
gamòt na itò ang nakaginháwa sa máy sakìt. This medicine is what
relieved the patient. Itò y makapàpáwì nang gútom (úhaw, ginàw,
ínit, págod). This will relieve the hunger (thirst, cold feeling,
hot feeling, fatigue). Ang áwit nang manga íbon ay nakatútuwà`. The
song of the birds is gladdening. Similarly from: bigàt, bingì, búti,
lasìng, ligáya, síra`, tákot.
434. The active expresses, further, an inanimate object which has got
(in the past) into such and such a condition or position.
Ang bangkà` ay nakaáyon sa ágos. The canoe is righted with the
stream. Ang pagkáin ay nakahandá nà. Dinner is served. Nakasábit sa
páko` ang áki ng amerikána. My coat is hanging on the nail. Nakasigàng
ang palayùk nang sináing. The rice-pot is on the fire. Hindí
ko bìbilhìn ang kabáyo ng iyòn, káhit na makasísiya ang áki ng
kwaltà. I would not buy this horse, even if my money should be
sufficient. Similarly: daàn, lawìt, táli`, túlong.
435. Very similar is the use of the active to describe an animate
actor in such and such a position (into which he has got): Nakadapà`
ang manga táo sa kanila ng báhay hábang lumílindòl. The people lay
prone in their houses during the earthquake. Si Pédro ay nakaháwak
sa taburéte nang sya y retratúhan. Pedro had hold of a chair when
he was photographed. Nakasakày ang báta ng si Hwàn sa áso nang
sya y màkíta ko sa bakúran. Little Juan was mounted (i. e. riding)
on the dog when I saw him in the yard. Nakatayó si Pédro nang ákin
sya ng màkíta. Pedro was standing up when I saw him. Nakaupó sya sa
bangkò`. He was seated on the bench. So from: abàng, hiléra, íkid,
kápit, luhòd, pangàw, talungkò`, tindìg.
436. The active may denote an animate actor who is able, succeeds
in doing so and so; the involuntary element inheres in the matter of
ability, which is not dependent on the actor's will: Sa gana ng ákin
sya y makaáalìs. So far as I am concerned, he may go. Sa tigàs nang
kanya ng loòb ay walà ng makabále`. There is no one (or, under the type
in § 433, nothing) can break the firmness of his will. Nakagágawà` ang
alílà nang páyong. The servant is able to make umbrellas. Nakagupìt
sya nang makapàl na damìt. He succeeded in cutting thick cloth. Si
Pédro ay hindí makaháwak nang palakòl, sapagkàt masakìt ang kanya ng
kamày. Pedro cannot hold an ax, because his hand is sore. Naàári ng
sya y makahigà`. He may lie down. Hindí ako makahingí nang kwaltà kay
Hwàn. I cannot (bring myself to) ask Juan for money. Nakahúlog sya nang
isa ng nyòg sa kanya ng pagpukòl sa kumpòl. He succeeded in bringing
down a cocoanut, in his throwing at the cluster. Ang báta` ay hindí
makakáin, sapagkàt kumáin sya nang marámi ng kakanìn. The child can't
eat because he has eaten so many sweets. Si Pédro ay hindí nakapùpútol
nang káhoy, sapagkàt bágu ng gáling sya sa sakìt. Pedro cannot cut any
wood, for he has just recovered from sickness. Sa tantyà raw nyà ay
makapùpútol na sya nang káhoy, sapagkàt sya y malakas nà. He reckons
he will be able to cut wood, for he is strong again. Nakasásakay
syà sa kabáyo. He is able to mount the horse. Ang báta y nakasùsúlat
nà. The child is already able to write. Hindí ako makasúlat. I can't
write. Ang máy sakit ay nakatátayú nà. The patient is already able
to stand up. Hindí ako nakatípon nang manga dáhon, sapagkàt walá ako
ng kalaykày. I was not able to pile up the leaves, because I had no
rake. Ang húle ng isdá ni Hwàn ay nakawalà`. The fish Juan caught got
away. Similarly from: akiyàt, balìk, báyad, dalà, datìng, kílos, kúha,
lákad, pások, sagòt, sigàw, suwày, tahòl, takbò, tirà, úbos, úsap.
Abstracts: Ang mákina ay syà ng dahilàn nang pagkagawá ni Pédro
nang páyong. The machine is the cause of Pedro's ability to make
umbrellas. Ang pagkasakáy nyà sa kabáyo ng bara-barà ay hindí dahilàn
sa kanya ng tápang, dátapuwat dahilàn sa marámi ng iba ng táo ng
nagsipígil sa kabáyo. His ability to get on the wild horse was not
due to his courage, but to the many other people who controlled the
horse. Ang kanya ng pagkatípon sa manga kalabàw ay nanyári dáhil sa
marámi ng túlong. His success in rounding up the carabao was due to
much aid.
437. Closely bordering on the preceding type is the active,
mostly with the particle nà, expressing the actor of a completed
action. Nakaalìs na siyà. He has already (succeeded in going,
i. e.) gone away. Nakapútul nà si Pédro nang káhoy. Pedro has now
finished cutting wood. Si Pédro ay nakapútul nà nang káhoy, bágo ko
ng inutúsa ng mangigìb. Pedro had already cut the wood, before I asked
him to fetch water. Similarly from: bútas, datìng, kúha, límot, tápos.
The abstract lends itself especially to the use as absolute attribute
(§ 274): Pagkagawá nya nang bákod ay naglasìng siyà. When he had
finished making the fence, he got drunk. Pagkahárang nang manga
tulisàn sa koréyo ay nagsitúngo silà sa bundòk. When the bandits
had robbed the mail, they took to the hills. Pagkaháte ni Hwàn nang
manga mansánas ay umalìs sya. When Juan had distributed the apples,
he went away. Pagkahúli nang pulìs sa magnanákaw ay dinala nyà itò sa
bìlanggúan. When the policeman had caught the thief, he took him to the
jail. Pagkapatày nya sa táo ng kanyà ng hinárang ay tumakbo syà. When
he had killed the man he had held up, he ran away. Pagkapútol ni Hwàn
nang tahìd nang kátyaw ay nagdudugò` ang paà nitò. When Juan had cut
the spur of the rooster, its foot kept bleeding. Pagkasakày sa kabáyo
ay naparoòn akò sa hàlamanàn at pumitàs ako nang isa ng pakwàn úpang
áki ng kánin. When I had had my horseback ride, I went to the garden
and picked a melon to eat. Pagkasakày ni Hwàn sa trèn ay lumákad ito
ng agàd. When Juan had got on the train, it soon started to move. Ang
pagkasúnog nang báyan ay ikinalungkòt nang marámi. The people grieved
at their town having burned down. Pagkatanàw nang unggò` sa pagòng
ay nagbalik syà sa púno-ng-ságing. When the monkey had looked at the
turtle, he went back to the banana tree. Pagkatáwag nang pagòng sa
unggò` ay sumunòd itò agàd. When the turtle had called the monkey,
the latter came at once. Pagkatayó nya sa kanya ng ùpúan ay minulàn
nya agàd ang pagtatalumpáte`. When he had stood up from his seat he
at once began making his speech. Pagkatípon mo nang manga bayábas ay
umuwí ka. When you have piled up the guavas, go home. Pagkaúna nya
sa takbúhan ay naghintú sya. When he had got ahead in the running,
he stopped. Similarly from: alìs, bendisiyòn, gupìt, hápon, ísip,
káin, kúha, lagòk, lúto`, mísa, sábi, sánay, tápos, típon, tupàd.
438. The forms of the direct passive are: ma-, ma- R; na-; na- R.
The direct passive may correspond regularly to the active in § 436,
and denote the object directly affected by an action which an actor
is able to perform.
Hindí nya mabásag ang bóte. He did not succeed in breaking the
bottle. Sa kalakasàn ni Páblo ay nadala nyà ang kabà ng bákal. Pablo,
with his strength, managed to lift the iron chest. Nadalà nang báta`
ang káhoy. The boy managed to carry the wood. Hindí madalà ni Pédro ang
kahòn sa kabigatàn. Pedro cannot lift the box; it is too heavy. Hindí
ku magámit ang páyong na itò. I can't use this umbrella. Hindí nakáin
nang báta` ang matigàs na tinápay na iyàn. The child was not able

ang kandáro nang pintò`, káhit na iniyúbus nya ang kanya ng lakàs. He
did not succeed in breaking the lock of the door, although he used up
all his strength. Natátalastàs mo bà ang sinàsábi ko sa iyò? Do you
understand what I am saying to you? Similarly: ágaw, akiyàt, alaála,
ampàt, gawà`, hángo`, híla.
439. Similarly, the direct passive may correspond regularly to the
active of the type in § 437 and denote an object directly affected
by an action which has been (successfully) completed by an actor.
Naáso ko nà sa boo ng báyan ang báta`. I have hunted and called the
child all over town. Nabálot ko nà ang manga librò. I have already
wrapped up the books. Nabása ku nà ang diyáriyo. I have finished
reading the paper. Nahampàs ko nà ang báta`. I have already whipped
the child. Nahánap na nyà ang librò. He has already looked for the

me. Nausísà ku nà si Hwàn. I have already questioned Juan. Similarly
from: ágaw, gawà`, ípon, íwan, líbot, sákop, siyásat.
440. We come now to direct passives which do not correspond regularly
to any active; these have their own abstracts with pagka-.
The commonest type expresses an object which undergoes or has
undergone a process due to an inanimate actor or to no actor
in particular; it differs from the simple direct passive in the
involuntary and often perfectic nature of the action. Nabále` ang
sangà nang káhoy. The branch of the tree is broken. Ang túlis nang
lápis ay nabále`. The point of the pencil is broken. Hwag mò ng
ilagay dyàn ang palatòn, sapagkàt baká mabásag. Don't put the plate
there, for it might get broken. Ang kanila ng kàínan ay nagambála
sa pagdatìng nang manga pulìs. Their dinner-party broke up when the
police arrived. Ang boo ng báyan ay nagulò. The whole town became
riotous. Naháte` ang mansánas. The apple is in halves. Nalagòt ang
lúbid. The rope broke. Ang kanya ng dalíri` ay napáso`. His finger
is blistered. Napatìd ang lúbid. The rope broke. Ang batò ng hasaàn

bulaklàk. The flowers have been picked. Napùpútol ang manga sangà
nang káhoy sa lakàs nang hángin. The branches of the trees are being
broken off by the force of the wind. Napútol nà ang káhoy. The tree
has been cut down. Napútol ang dúlo nang káhoy. The end of the log is
cut off. Napútol ang sangà nang káhoy. The branch of the tree broke
off. Nasáyang ang trabáho ni Hwàn. Juan's work went for naught. Ang
búkid ay nasíra`. The field is waste. Similarly, from: ári`, bágo,
buwàl, dílat, gúmon, hinòg, laglàg, lamòg, láon, páwi`, punò`, puròl,
súnog, tápos, úbos, utàs, walà`, yári`.
The abstract is regular: daàn, hinòg, lagòt, pások, súnog, walà`.
441. The passive is used, further, to denote the animate performer
of an involuntary act, which, then, is looked upon rather as an
undergoing than as a performing.
This is the clearest where the subject is undergoing an emotion or
sensation: Naáwà si Hwàn sa pulúbe. Juan pitied the beggar. Ang báta
ng si Hwàn ay nadúdungò. Little Juan is bashful. Naginàw sya sa kanya
ng pagpalígo`. He got cold while taking his bath. Akú y nagùgútom. I am
hungry; isa ng táo ng nagùgútom a hungry person. Nahàhápis siyà. He is
sad. Nahíhiyá ka bà? Are you ashamed? Nahíhiyá sya. He is ashamed. Akù
y nailàng. I was nonplussed, I didn't know what to do. Akò y naíinip nà
nang paghihintày kay Hwàn. I am impatient with waiting for Juan. Sya y
nalímang sa kanya ng pagbílang. He got confused in his reckoning. Sya
nalúlungkòt. He is sorry. Akò y naùúhaw. I am thirsty. So: bagábag,
gálit, libàng, tákot, tuwà`.
This form is used also of processes of life, especially physiological
and morbid: Nalumpò syà. He got lame. Napípe sya. He got dumb. So:
naári` got the ability, nabáo got widowed, nabúhay lived, naíngay was
noisy, nakinìg heard, nalúnod got drowned, namatày died, natúlog slept.
It is used, finally, in nahúlog fell (from a place to the ground),
and, strangely enough, for two voluntary actions which consist of a
relaxing of the muscles: Sya y nahigà` He lay down. Sya y nahíhigà`. He
was in the act of lying down. Naupó sya sa bangkò`. He sat down on
the bench. Naúupó sya sa taburéte. He was in the act of sitting down
on the stool.
Further, irregularly, in: Sya y nalígo`. He took a bath. Sya y
nanáog. He came down from the house. See § 488,c.
Abstracts: Ang pagkaáwà ni Hwàn sa pulúbe Juan's pity for the
beggar. ang pagkabáta` one's childhood. ang pagkabúhay ni Hesùs
the resurrection of Jesus. Ang pagkagúlat ni Hwána ay sya nyà ng
ipinagkasakìt. Juana's scare was what made her sick. Pagkalúnod
nang Kastíla` ay lumáyas ang manga estudyànte. When the Spaniard
had got drowned, the students hurried away. ang kanya ng pagkamatày
his death. ang kanya ng pagkasála sa singsìng. his missing the
ring. Pagkaupú nya sa bangkò` ay minulàn nya ang pagkukwènto sa manga
báta`. When she had sat down on the bench, she began her story-telling
to the children. So: ári`, hápis, húlog, litò, lóko, pípi, tákot,
tálo, ulòl.
442. An explicit plural of both active and direct passive is formed
by the infixation of -ang- into the prefix.
In the active the syllable after this infix often receives a secondary
accent: Nangàkaupú na silà sa pagkáin, nang kamì ay dumatìng. They
had already sat down to their meal when we arrived. So also from:
bitàw, biyábit.
With reduplication of the ka- instead of root initial: Nangàkàkaupó
silà sa pagkáin. They are able to sit up for their meals.
Direct passive: Ang dinala nyà ng manga manòk ay nangamatày. The
chickens he brought all died. Nangapútol ang tubò sa lakàs
nang bagyò. The sugar-cane broke under the strength of the
typhoon. Nangapùpútol ang karamíhan nang tubò nang kasalukúyan ang
bagyò. During the typhoon most of the sugar-cane got broken. So from:
bulòk, íwan, lúnod, lungkòt, tákot, tuwà`.
443. From a compound word, passive: nasawi-ng-pálad (sawì ng pálad).
From a derived word, active: makataanàn (taanàn, § 378).
444. Accent shift is due to the root. Si Pédro ay nakaayàw nà. Pedro
has left the table. So from ábot, sákit.
Passive: Naabut nyà ang ilawàn. He managed to reach the lamp. Hindí
nya maabùt ang itlòg. He can't reach the egg. Ang báta ng si Hwàn ay
nabábahày. Little Juan is shy.
Abstract: Pagkaabòt nang bátà nang kanyà ng laruwàn ay tumakbò sya
ng agàd. After reaching for his toys, the boy at once ran.
445. With pag- before the root, this active is made from roots whose
primary active has mag-. The reduplication affects either the ka-,
or the pag-, or the root initial: makà-ka-pag- or maka-pà-pag- or
maka-pag- R.
Ang báta` ay nakapagdalà nang káhoy. The boy managed to bring the
wood. Ang báta` ay nakapagdádalà (or: nakàkapagdalà, or: nakapàpagdalà)
nang káhoy. The boy is able to bring the wood. Nakàkapaglasìng
si Ánong, káhit na sya y hindí binàbayáan nang kanya ng asáwa na
makapagpabilè nang álak. Anong manages to get drunk, even though his
wife does not allow him to have liquor purchased for him. Nakapagpútol
na si Hwàn nang káhoy. Juan has finished cutting wood. Nakapagpùpútol
nà si Hwàn nang káhoy. Juan is already able to cut wood. Hindí
makapagpútol nang káhoy si Hwàn, dahilàn sa súgat nya sa kamày. Juan
cannot cut wood, on account of the wound on his hand.
Similarly: antòk, áral, bíhis, ligtàs, mísa, nákaw, pasiyàl, sábi,
salità`, tágo`, takà.
446. Direct passive: ma-pag-; ma-pag- R or ma-pà-pag-. Hindí ko
mapagáyos ang manga damìt na itò. I can't straighten out these
clothes. Mapàpagáyos nya ang manga lipàs sa úso ng damìt na itò. She
will be able to fix these out-of-date clothes. Hindí ko mapagkúro`
kung anò ang íbig nya ng sabíhin. I couldn't make out what he wanted
to say. Nang mapagkúrò ni Hwàn kung anò ang mangyàyári, ay hindí nya
itinúloy ang kanya ng bálak. When Juan saw what was going to happen,
he did not carry out his plan. Hindí ko mapagkúro ang kahulugàn nang
súlat na itò. I can't get at the meaning of this letter. Napagtalastàs
ko ang manga sinàsábi mo sa iyo ng súlat. I understand all you say
in your letter. Napagtátalastàs (or: napàpagtalastàs) kò ang íbig mo
ng sabíhin. I understand what you mean.
447. maka-pag- (1), cf. § 353. Nang nakapaghanap syà ay umuwé sya sa
kanya ng báhay. When he had finished searching, he went home. Kung
makapaghanap syà ay úuwé sya. When he has finished searching, he will
go home.
448. maka-pang-, corresponding to mang-, § 357. Nakàkapanghiràm
kamì nang kwaltà kay Áli ng Kulása. We can borrow money from
Aunt Nicolasa. Makàkapanghiràm ka ng wala ng sála kay Hwàn nang
isa ng sombréro. You will surely be able to borrow a hat from
Juan. Nakapangàngabáyo sya ng patayò`, sapagkàt hindí gulatìn ang
kanya ng kabáyo. He is able to ride standing up, because his horse

Abstract: pagkapangáko` (áko`).
(a) The root is reduplicated for plurality: Ang pagkapanghahárang
nila Hwán ay hindí nila sána magawà`, kung hindí sa karamíhan nang
táo nila na máy barìl. The highway robberies by Juan and his gang
could not have been perpetrated by them, if it had not been for the
number of them that had guns.
(b) From a derived word: makapangináin (kináin, §§ 365, 357,a).
449. ma- D; expressive of slow activity: Hindí sya mamatày-matày. He
is lingering on the death-bed. Ang pàgakpákan nang manga táo ay hindí
matápus-tápus. The applause of the people could find no end.
450. In the instrumental passive, which seems to occur only with pag-
and pang-, the i- follows the ma-: Ang pagkàtáwag nang kúra sa manga
pulìs ay hindí nya ikinabúte, sapagkàt silà y kàkauntí lámang úpang
maipagtanggòl sya sa manga magnanákaw. The priest's having called in
the police did him no good, for they were too few to defend him from
the thieves.
With pang-: naipangánganàk (anàk, cf. § 357).
451. The local passive has the prefix ma- and the suffix (1) -an.

sa báhay ni Hwàn. There has been a death in Juan's house. Naputúlan
si Hwàn nang dalíre` sa pagpapalákad nang mákina. Juan got a finger
cut off in running the machine. Napùputúlan nang médiko ang manga táo
nang kanila ng kamày o paà kung kayilángan. When necessary, people get
their hands or feet cut off by a doctor. Mapùputúlan ka nang dalírì`,
pag hindí ka nagíngat sa iyo ng pagtatrabáho sa mákina ng iyàn. You
will get your finger cut off, if you aren't careful about the way you
work that machine. Nasakyàn ko nà ang kabáyo ng bara-barà. I have
succeeded in mounting the wild horse. Naskyàn ko nà ang bangka ng
itò. I have already been in this canoe. Nawalàn nang málay ang babáye
sa kanyà ng paghihimatày. The woman lost consciousness in her swoon.

saw-buck you have made. Napagputúlan námin nang kawáyan ang bágo ng
gawá mo ng kabáyo ng káhoy. We were able to cut bamboo on the sawbuck
you have just made.
453. Special static words resembling the active; the following occur:
Si Bantùg ay isa ng táo ng makabáyan. Bantog is a patriotic man. damò
ng makahyà` the sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica.
Of irregular use are makalawà (§ 262,8), and makatuwìd (tuwìd).
(a) From a word of this kind an active with mag- is derived in:
nagmàmakaáwa` provoking pity (as though from makaáwa`).
(b) The abstract is like a special static word in: Ang bigàs ay sya ng
pinakamahalagà ng pagkabúhay nang táo sa Filipínas. Rice is the most
important staple food in the Philippines. Cf. also pagkaráka, § 265,9.
454. ma- forms special static words denoting that which by nature or
circumstance possesses such and such, usually a quality. Maalikabok
nà ang mésa. The table is dusty already. Maásim ang súka ng itò. This
wine is sour. ang púno-ng-káhoy na mabába` a low tree; isa ng mabába ng

These forms are made from so many roots that the Index will be as
convenient as a list.
Derivatives: §§ 352,c. 353,a.b. 370. 499,a. 500,b.
(a) Note masiyádo excessive, extreme, as though from a root -siyádo
(and so listed), still felt by Mr. Santiago to be from Spanish
demasiado.
(b) Accent shift due to the root in masakìt.
(c) From derived words: Ang pagtayú sa bubungàn ay mapangánib. It is
dangerous to stand on the roof. So from kasalánan (§ 423), kabuluhàn
(§ 422).
455. ma-pag- someone given to doing so and so: Ang inà ni Pédro ay
mapagbigày sa kanya ng manga kaululàn. Pedro's mother always gives in
to his foolishness. Sya y mapagtipìd. He is very economical. So from:
gawà`, kumpisàl, simbà, siyásat, usísa`.
(a) From a phrase, probably: Ang táo ng si Hwàn ay
mapagpáku-m-babà`. That man Juan is overmodest (páko ng babà`
low peg?).
(b) With accent shift: Mapaghunì ang manga kabáyo ng itò, kanya
hindí dápat dalhìn sa labanàn. These horses are given to neighing
and therefore should not be taken to war. So also: mapagawày.
456. In the same sense, but transitive in value, ma-pang-: mapanggúlat
given to surprising or frightening people, mapanghágis given to
flinging things; Ang táo ng si Hwàn ay mapanghiràm. The fellow Juan is
a great borrower. mapanghiyà` given to embarrassing people. mapamukòl
given to throwing things. So from: hilìng, matà.
457. In similar meanings, with suffix -in:
(a) ma- S -in: So magustúhin, masùnúrin.
(b) ma- (2) -in: Ang manga táo y hindí maibigìn sa pagkakàsála. People
are not fond of sinning.
(c) ma- r (2) -in: matatawanìn easily made to laugh; Sya y
matutulugìn. He is a sleepy-head. So also: magugulatìn.
458. The transients with kà- refer to accidental actions. The active
has the forms: makà-, makà- R, nakà-, nakà- R, but the reduplication
sometimes affects the kà- instead of the root initial. The abstract
has pagkà-. The meanings are various, much like those of maka-.
459. The active sometimes expresses an inanimate object as the agent
of an accidental action: Ang guntìng nang manggagamòt ay nakágupit
nang isa ng ugàt na malakè, kanyà` namatày ang kanya ng ginágamòt. The
physician's scissors accidentally cut a large artery, in consequence
of which his patient died. Similarly, from gísing, háwa.
460. More frequent is a rational actor of an accidental action; as such
is viewed any action the exact form of which is out of the actor's
control. Si Pédro ay nakàháwak nang káwad na mày elektrisidàd. Pedro
got hold of a charged wire. Hindí nya kilalà ang manga kwayanà ng
iyòn, kaniyà nakàpútol sya nang sa iba ng táwo ng kawáyan. As he
did not know those bamboo-groves, he inadvertently cut some bamboo
that belonged to other people. Sundan mò silà sa kawayanàn, sapagkàt
baká sila nakàpùpútol nang kawáya ng hindí nasàsákop nang áti ng
lúpa`. Follow them to the bamboo-grove, for they may be cutting some
bamboo that is not included in our land. Hwàn, usisáin mo ng mabúti
ang hanggáhan nang kawayanàn, bágo ka tumagá nang kawáyan, sapagkàt
baká ka makàpútol nang kawáya ng hindí átin. Juan, find out exactly
the borders of the bamboo-grove before you cut any bamboo, for else
you might cut some bamboo that is not ours. Pího ng makàpùpútol
silà nang kawáya ng hindí sakòp nang lúpa`, kapag hindí mo sila
pinakialamàn, sapagkàt ang hanggáhan nang lúpa ng iyòn ay lubhà ng
balú-baluktòt. They will surely cut some bamboo not included in the
piece of ground, if you don't look after them, for the boundary of
the land is very irregular. Nakàtísod akò nang isa ng áhas. I hit a
snake with my foot. Nakàtúlog si Hwàn sa báhay na gibà-gibà`. Juan
hit upon a broken-down house as a place to sleep in, was constrained
by circumstances to sleep in a broken-down house. Nakàusísà sya nang
nawalà ng kwaltà. It came to her mind to inquire about the lost
money. Nakàusísà sya nang isa ng táo ng nakààalàm nang líhim. He
happened to ask a man who knew the secret. Similarly: bilì, daàn,
inòm, káin, súlat, tagpò`.
Abstract: In the abstract the element of accident often takes the form
of expressing the way something turned out. Limàng ang pagkàbílang
nya sa manga itlòg na itò. His count of these eggs has turned out
wrong. Ang pagkágawá ni Hwána sa páyong ay masamà`. The umbrella Juana
made turned out poorly. Ang pagkágupìt sa úlo nang báta` ay hindí
pantày-pantày. The boy's hair-cut isn't (hasn't turned out) even. Ang
pagkàháti nang mansánas ay hindí parého. The halving of the apple is
not exact. Ang pagkàísip nya sa bugtòng ay hindi táma`. His guess
at the riddle is not correct. Ang pagkálagok nyà sa itlòg ay kanya
ng pinagsisíhan. He repented his having (in a moment of weakness)
swallowed the egg. Ang pagkàpások ni Hwàn nang tapòn sa bóte ay
malálim. Juan got the cork too deep into the bottle. Ang pagkápatay
sa magnanákaw ay hindí sinadyà`. The killing of the thief was not
done on purpose. Ang pagkápatay sa manòk ay masamà`. This chicken has
not been slaughtered in the proper manner. Ang pagkàpútol nang pálong
nang kátiyaw ay hindí sagàd. The cock's comb is not cut off clean. Ang
pagkátahul nang áso ay sya ng inilalá nang sakìt nya sa lalamúnan. The
dog's barking made the pain in its throat worse. Ang pagkátanaw kò sa
púno-ng-káhoy ay itò y may madidilàw na dáhon. The way I looked at that
tree made it seem as if it had yellow leaves. Ang kanya ng pagkátayò`
(or: pagkátindìg) ay dahilàn sa kanya ng pagkàgúlat. He jumped to his
feet because of his surprise. Ang pagkàtípon nang manga dáho ng itò
ay hindí mabúte. These leaves have not been well heaped up. So from:
bendisiyòn, bitbìt, hampàs, higà`, pálo`, tágo`, tirà, upò`.
461. The active may denote a rational actor successful, thanks to outer
circumstances, in such and such an action. Nakáhampas ang báta ng si
Hwàn nang isa ng tutubè. Little Juan succeeded in hitting a dragon-fly
with his whip. Nakàháte si Hwàn nang manga mansánas. Juan got a chance
to divide up the apples. Nakàkàkapá sya nang isa ng palakà`. He has
got hold of a frog (as, in grasping for frogs in mud-holes). Nakàpána
akò nang usà. I hit a deer with an arrow. Nakàtípun nà akò nang
manga dáhon, nang pumaròn si Tátay. By the time Father got there,
I had already had time to get some leaves heaped up. So also: ágaw,
hingì`, sáli.
Abstract: Ang pagkàbúhay nang médiko sa kay Hwàn ay isà ng malakì ng
ikinatwá nang kanya ng kababáyan. The doctor's saving of Juan's life
was a cause of great gladness to his fellow-townsmen. Ang pagkàtáwag
nyà sa médiko ng nagligtàs nang búhay nang kanya ng anàk ay dahilàn
sa pagkàgámit nya nang teléfono. His chance of calling the doctor who
saved his child's life was due to the use he was enabled to make of the
telephone. Ang nagìng pagkágupit nyà sa makapàl na damìt ay nangyáre
dahilàn sa paggámit nya nang guntìng nang láta. The fact that he was
able to cut the thick cloth was due to his using the tin-shears. Ang
pagkáhampas nyà sa manga bátà` ay dahilàn sa kahabáan nang kanya
ng pamálo`. He can hit the children because of the length of his
stick. Ang pagkàhárang kina Hwàn ay sya nilà ng ikinawalá nang kanila
ng salapè`. Juan and his party's having been held up was what deprived
them of their money. Ang pagkàháti nya sa tubù ay hindí mangyàyáre
kung gumámit sya nang mapurùl na gúlok. He would not have been able
to slice the sugar-cane down its length (as a game or trick), if he
had used a dull bolo. Pagkàísip nya kung anò ang dápat nya ng gawìn
sa magnanákaw na nàhúli nya, ay ginawá nya iyòn agàd. When he had at
last hit upon the idea of what to do with the thief he had caught,
he immediately carried it out. Nanghináyang ang boo ng báyan sa
pagkápatay kay Risàl nang manga Kastíla`. The whole country mourned
over the killing of Rizal by the Spaniards. Ang ámi ng pagkásakay sa
bangkà` ay syà ng nagligtàs sa ámi ng búhay. Our having been able
to get into the canoe is what saved our lives. Ang pagkàsúnog nang
manga magnanákaw sa báyan ay pinarusáhan nang gubyèrno. The thieves'
burning the town was punished by the government. Ang pagkátayo nang
isa ng báhay-pàmahaláa ng batò ay dahilàn sa pagpapaalaála ni Hwàn
nang pangánib sa súnog. The fact that a stone government-building
came after all to be built, was due to Juan's calling attention to
the danger from fire. Anu ng pagkátipid ni Hwàn! How saving Juan has
been! So from: sábi, táwag.
462. The active is used of certain acts of sensation whose
occurrence is out of the control of the subject: ang nakàkìkilála,
ang nakàkàkilála one who has got knowledge of a person or thing,
has come to know his habits, recognizes his nature. Ang pagkàgúlat
ni Hwána ay syà ng ikinátawà nang marámi ng nakàkàkíta. Juana's
astonishment amused many who saw it. With kilála compare nakáramdàm
felt; with kíta, nakàmálay, nakátanàw, and nakárinìg heard.
Abstract: Malínaw ang pagkàkíta ko sa nangyáre. I had a clear view
of what took place. So: dinìg, masìd, tanàw.
463. The direct passive has the forms mà-, mà- R, nà-, nà- R.
It may correspond regularly to the active type in § 460, and denote
an object undergoing an accidental action of a rational actor.
Nàáso ko sa boo ng báyan ang báta`, káhit na hindí ko gustò. I
was forced to go shouting after the child all over town, though I
didn't like to do it. Hindí mu ba nàbása sa diyáriyo ang tungkùl
sa súnog? Haven't you come across the details of the fire in
the paper? Baká mo màbásag, Hwána, iyà ng pinaglàlaruwan mò ng
kandeléro. See that you don't break that candlestick you're playing
with, Juana. Nádala nyà nang hindí sinásadyà` sa kanya ng pagalìs
ang áki ng páyong. When he went away he inadvertently carried off
my umbrella. Nàgambála ku ang pagaáral ni Hwàn dahilàn sa áki ng
pagdatìng na walá sa óras. I disturbed Juan in his studying by my
untimely arrival. Nàgámit ni Hwàn ang áki ng, sombréro dahilàn sa
kanyà ng pagmamadalí nang pagalìs. Juan used my hat in the haste of
his departure. Nàgísing nya sa kanya ng pagiingày ang manga báta`. What
with his racket he woke up the children. Náhampàs nang hindí sinásadyá
ni Pédro ang bábuy nang kanya ng kápit-báhay. Pedro inadvertently hit
his neighbor's hog with his whip. Nàíwan din nyà sa ákin ang kanyà
ng anàk, káhit na itò y áyaw nya ng gawìn. She was also forced to
leave her child with me, although she disliked to do this. Nápatày
ko nang barìl-barílan ang manòk. I accidentally killed the chicken
with my toy-gun. Kánin mo ang milòn, kung iyu ng gustò, o kayà` ang
ságing, kung sya mo itò ng nàpìpíle`.--Nàpìpíli ko ang milòn. Eat the
banana, if you like, or the melon, if you prefer it.--I prefer the
melon. Nápitas nyà ang bulaklàk nang hindí sinásadyà`. She picked the
flower without intending to. Nàpútol ko nang hindí sinásadyà` ang lúbid
na itò. I chanced, without intending it, to cut this string. Baká mo
màsíra`, Hwàn, ang patágo sa iyù ng kwàlta nang iyu ng kapatìd. See
to it, Juan, that you don't do away with your brother's money that
is entrusted to you. Nàusísà ni Hwána ang inumìt na singsìng nang
kanyà ng kapatìd. Juana happened to inquire for the ring her sister
had filched. So from: angkìn, búlag, bútas, hábol, patày, púlot.
464. The direct passive may correspond regularly to the active
described in § 461, and denote an object undergoing an action which a
rational actor was enabled to perform by virtue of outer circumstances.
Ang úlo ni Hwàn ay nàbìbílog nang kanya ng kalarò`. Juan's playmates
are succeeding in making a fool of him (literally: in rounding his
head). Nágupit nyà ang makapàl na damìt. It turned out that he was
able to cut the thick cloth. Hindí ku màípon ang manga karáyum na
nangàsábug sa lúpa`. I did not succeed in gathering up all the needles
that were scattered over the floor. Hindí ko mápatay ang púsa ng
itò. I cannot kill this cat (i.e. its life is tough, it gets away,
etc.) Kapag nàpútol mo ang bákal na iyàn, ikàw ay makawáwalà`. If
you can get a chance to cut through that iron, you can make your
escape. Nàpútol nya ang káhoy. He got the wood cut all right. Hindí nya
màpútol ang leèg nang manòk. He couldn't get the chicken's neck cut
through. Màpùpútol na raw nyà ang púno nang káhoy na nabwàl. He says
he will be in a position to cut through the tree that has fallen. ang
kanyà ng násingìl the money he was able to collect. Similarly, from:
bálot, gawà`, húli, kúha, kúlam, nákaw, pitàs, sábi, taàs, táwag.
465. Similarly, the direct passive is regularly used to correspond
to the active in § 462, of objects of sensation. Nàkilála ko si Hwàn
doòn sa sàwáyan. I got acquainted with Juan at that dance. So from:
alaála, dinìg, inò, kíta, málas, pansìn.
466. Other uses of the direct passive do not regularly correspond to
any active, cf. § 440 f.; these have their own abstract with pagkà-.
The direct passive is used to denote an object which has accidentally
got into such and such a condition; the actor is either indifferent
or entirely lacking. There seems to be no abstract principle clearly
separating this form from the passive with na- described in § 440;
where position of the object is involved, the accidental form is
preferred.
Nàbúte ang kanyà ng pagkatákot. His fear reached a high point. Ang
kanya ng bangkà y patúngo sa bandà ng kalunúran, dátapuwat pagkaraàn
nang ilà ng sandalì` ay náiba ang kanya ng bandáhin. His canoe was
headed toward the west, but after a while his direction changed. Ang
ìnumínan nang báhay ay dápat málagay sa lugàr na malílim. The shelf
for drinking-water of a house should be in a shady place. Násakay
sa trèn ang ipinahatìd mo ng manga dalanghíta`. The tangerines you
sent have been shipped. Nàtúlin ang pagpapadulàs nang báta ng si Hwàn
sa pútek. Juan's sliding on the mud got faster and faster (in spite
of him).
Similarly from: bágay, balíta`, baòn, dápat, doòn, hintò`, húsay,
kápit, lapàg, látag, ligtàs, liguwàk, lípat, lubòg, lúlan, mána,
nákaw, pagítan, páko`, patày, pátung, sábog, taàn, tábon, tágo`,
talà`, tanìm, taòn, tayò`, tirà, túlos, únat.
Abstract: Pagkásakay nang manga sáko nang kamóte sa trèn ay lumákad
itò agàd. As soon as the bags of sweet-potatoes had been put on board
the train, the latter started to move. So from: balíta`, gámit, ibà,
látag, libìng, sarà.
466a. This irregular passive is used also of animate, rational
subjects, whose actions, then, are viewed rather as an accidental
undergoing; this type is not clearly definable from that with ma-
in § 441, except where both forms are used in contrast (-higà`);
the habit with regard to each root is, however, entirely fixed.
In some cases the accidental actor is imaginable: Náakyàt si Pédro
sa itaàs nang lángit dahilàn sa ginawá nya ng pagkápit sa pinalipàd
na lóbo. Pedro got carried up into the air owing to his grip on the
loosed balloon. Nàhárang sina Hwàn sa daà-ng-Balíwag. Juan and his
company chanced to get held up on the Baliuag road. Hwag kà, Hwàn,
pumásuk sa sekréta, sapagkàt baká ka máhigà` sa ihawàn, kung ikàw
ay màhúle. Don't go as a spy, Juan, for you might get laid on the
gridiron, if you got caught. Similarly: banggìt, barìl, bilanggò`,
distíno, húli, ligtàs, píli`, tanggàp, táwag.
Processes of life: Sya y nábingì. He got deaf. Nàbúte si Hwàn sa kanya
ng pagkatákot. Juan was bettered by his fright. Si Pédro at si Maryà
ay màkàkasàl. Pedro and Maria will get married some day. So: himbìng,
lóko, tahímik, tinìk, túto, wíli.
Abstract: Ang pagkàgúlat ni Hwána sa maíngay na putòk nang kanyòn ay
sya nyà ng ikinabingì. Juana's shock at the loud report of the cannon
was what made her deaf. Malakì ang kanila ng nagìng pagkàgúlat. Their
astonishment was great. Ang pagkàsúnog sa manga sundálo sa loòb
nang báhay ay nangyári dáhil sa pagkásara nang manga bintána`. The
fact that the soldiers were burned in the house was due to the
circumstance that the windows had been closed. Ang pagkátinìk sa
lalamúnan nang báta` ay sya nyà ng ikinamatày. The boy's getting a
fishbone into his throat was what killed him. Pagkátinik nang unggò`
ay sya y nagálit. When the monkey had got a spine into his foot he
got angry. Ang pagkàwíle ni Hwàn sa báhay ny Andrès ay dahilàn sa
anàk na dalága nitò. Juan's being spell-bound in Andres' house was
due to the latter's daughter. So: gustò, kasàl, manghà`.
Movements, especially the resultant position: Sya y nárapà`. He fell on
his face. Náriyan kamì sa iyo ng báhay kahápon nang umága, dátapuwat
hindí ka námin dinatnàn. We were at your house yesterday morning, but
we did not find you there. Náluhod sya sa kanyà ng harapàn. He knelt
down in front of her. Nàpàpagítan si Hwàn sa dalawà ng dalága. Juan
chanced to get placed between two young ladies. Sila y nàùupò`. They
are seated. Similarly from: ákap, alìs, bálot, díne, díto, dulàs,
doòn, haràp, kublì, kulòng, lákad, lugmòk, padpàd, panhìk, sakày,
sísid, tabì, tágo`, tayò`, tirà, tungtòng.
Abstract: Ang ikinátahol nang manga áso ay ang pagkádapá ni Hwàn. What
made the dogs bark was Juan's falling on his face. Pagkásakay ni Hwàn
sa trèn ay lumákad ito ng agàd. When Juan was on board the train,
it soon started to move. So also: dulàs, kublì, lagày, panhìk, silìd,
tabì, tayò`.
467. The passive forms an explicit plural in which -ang- is infixed
into the nà-: Tibáyan mo ang manga itátayú mo ng kúbo sa búkid,
sapagkàt baká iyo y mangágibà` kung lumakàs ang hángin. Prop up the
huts you are going to build in the fields, for otherwise they might
break down when the wind gets stronger. Mangàgìgibà` ang manga báhay na
itò, sapagkàt hindí táma` ang pagkátayò`. These houses will break down,
because they are not built right. So from: pangàw, sábog, talungkò`.
468. An irregular form is nàndon beside ná-roòn.
469. Accent shift is due to the root: Ang pagpapatahòl ni Hwàn sa
kanya ng áso ay nakàtàtawà. Juan's making his dog bark is a funny
sight. So álam, túloy.
Passive: Náabut nyà sa kanyà ng paglulundàg na may tánga ng pamálo`
ang ilawàn, kanyà` itò y nabásag. In his climbing with the stick in
hand, he accidentally reached the lamp, and so it got broken. Sya y
nábulàg. He went blind. So: gísing, háyag, húli, lápit, láyo`, túloy.
Abstract: Ang pagkáhuli nang susò` ay malakè. The snail was left way
behind. Ang pagkáabot nyà sa bóte ay hindi magálang. The way he reached
for the bottle was not polite. So: álam, áyaw, gísing, lápit, úna.
470. From phrases: Ang paánan nang hìgáan ay nàbàbandà-ng-kataasàn,
dátapwat dápat màbanda-ng-ibabà`. The foot of the bed is turned toward
the north, but should be turned to the south (bandà ng ibabà`, bandà
ng kataasàn).
From derived words: Passive: Nàtàtagílid ang bangkà`. The boat has
a list to one side (ta-gílid, § 523).
(a) Passives from words with prefix ka- (§ 398) are frequent. Ang
búkid ni Hwàn ay nàkàkarátig nang kay Pédro. Juan's field borders
on Pedro's. Nàkasále nya sa kanya ng paglalarò` ang kanya ng
pínsan. He took his cousin for playmate. Si Maryáno ay nàkatálo ni
Hwàn. Mariano was Juan's opponent. Si Narsíso ang lági ng nàkàkatálo
ni Pédro sa manga pagtatálo ng idinàdáos linggo-linggò sa kanila ng
sàmáhan. Narcisso is always Pedro's opponent in the debates which they
hold every Sunday at their club. Si Lúkas ang màkàkatálo ko. Lucas
will be my opponent. nàkàkatúngo the person one happens to be dealing
with. nàkaúsap be by chance able to be conversed with.
Underlying word non-existent: Nàkatúlog si Hwàn sa panunoòd nang
teátro. Juan fell asleep while watching the play. Umulàn kagabì at
lumamìg, kaniyà` ako nàkatúlog nang mahimbìng. Last night it rained and
got cool; in consequence I fell sound asleep, got a sound sleep. Hindí
ako màkatúlog. I couldn't get any sleep. Abstract: ang pagkàkatúlog.
(b) Explicit plural of the preceding: Nangàkàkatúlog sila ng lahàt,
nang pumások sa báhay ang magnanákaw. They had all fallen asleep,
when the thief came into the house. Pagpilítan ninyò ng hwag kayò
ng mangàkatúlog sa inyo ng pagbabantày sa manga háyop at iba pà ng
árì nang pàmahalaàn. See to it that you don't fall asleep when on
guard over the animals and other property of the government. Ngayòn
ay mangàkàkatúlog silà, dahilàn sa maláon nila ng pagpupuyàt
gabi-gabì. Now they will be able to sleep, owing to their staying up

cannot produce a balance of sweet and sour in this lemonade. Sa
kalaúnan ay nàpagkilála ni Hwàn ang kanya ng kamàlían. Finally
Juan saw where he was wrong. Hindí nya nàpagkúro` agàd kung anò ang
gàgawin nyà. He was not able to decide at once what he was going to
do. Nàpàpagkúrù mo bà ang lahàt nang sinábi ko sa iyò kahápon? Are
you able to figure out all I said to you yesterday? Hindí ko màpagkúro
kung anò ang íbig nya ng sabíhin. I simply couldn't make out what he
was trying to say.
(a) Accent shift is due to the root: Áyon sa sábi nang marámi ay
màpàpaghuli na ràw ang manga magnanákaw. According to what people say,
the thieves will soon be caught.
472. Passive with pang-: Nàpanagínip niya ng nàkíta nya ang kanya ng

ng Maryà. I get a view of Mistress Maria's house from this side of
the window. Pagingátan mo ang iyo ng kwaltà sa bulsà pagluwàs mo sa

kulápol, ligtàs, málay, pígil, tanìm, túlog, tumpàk, túto, wisìk.
(a) With contraction of prefix and initial: màláman (álam).
(b) Accent shift lacking: nàmatáan (matà).
(c) Extra accent shift is due to the root: Kamuntí nang màtamaàn nang
kanya ng pukòl ang báta`. He nearly hit the child with his throw. Baká
mu màtamaàn ang báta`. See that you don't hit the child. So also:
nàalamàn (álam).
476. Local passive with mà-pag-: Nàpaghìhinaláan nang kápitan
ang mabaìt na si Hwàn. Even honest Juan falls under the mayor's
suspicion. Nàpàpaghinaláan nilà si Kulàs sa pagkawalá nang aláhas. They

478. Local passive with mà- from underlying word with ka- (cf. §
398): nàkagalítan, màkatuwaàn.

479. Special static words with makà- are formed from numerals in the
sense of so many times: makàánim six times; makálawà twice; makálimà

makàípat four times.
Reduplicated: makàlìlíbo a thousand times.

caused or ordered to undergo such and such an action. With accent pà-
an increase of the action is expressed.
(1) Simple static forms.
481. The root with prefix pa- denotes an object or person ordered,
caused, or allowed to undergo such and such an action. The person
caused to undergo may be the same as the person ordering or allowing.
Ang paakyàt ni Hwána na púno nang kakàw ay ang nása súlok nang
bakúran. The cocoa-tree Juana ordered climbed is the one in the corner
of the yard. Ang panyo ng itò ay paalaála sa ákin niy Áli ng Maryà sa
anàk nya ng dalága. This handkerchief is a souvenir to me from Aunt
Maria which she sent by her daughter. Inihandá nang ámi ng kaséra
ang atsára ng papáya úpang siya námi ng magìng paáyap. Our landlady
served some pickled papaws for us to use as condiment. Pabalìk ni
Hwàn ang lìbru ng itò. Juan sends this book back. Itò ang paháti` sa
ákin ni Pédro. This is what Pedro ordered me to deal out. Ang manga
tubò ng itò ay papútol sa ákin ni Pédro. Pedro ordered me to cut this

is the man whom Juan asked me to take into my carriage. Ang binása

given out for proclamation by the priest. Ang báhay na ytò y patayó
ni Hwàn. Juan had this house built. Patípon ni Hwàn sa ákin ang manga
nyòg na itò. Juan ordered me to gather up these cocoanuts. Ang pauwé
ni Hwàn sa kanya ng inà ay isa ng maínam na singsìng. What Juan sent
home to his mother was a beautiful ring.
As conjunctive attribute the word with pa- may express manner: ang
daà ng pabalìk sa Balíwag the road back to Baliuag. Papások sya ng
lumàlákad sa gitná nang báhay. He was going farther in toward the
inside of the house. Pasakày sya ng lumuksò sa kabáyo. He jumped on
the horse as if mounting to ride. Nang mahúlug ang báta` sa káhoy,
ay paupó sya ng lumagpàk sa lúpa`. When the boy fell from the tree, he
landed on the ground in a sitting position. Pauròng sya ng lumákad. He
went backwards.
With movements pa-, reflexive, is often weakened to a mere indication
of direction: Paakyàt sa púnù nang káhoy ang unggò` nang sya y abútan
nang lóbo. The monkey was just climbing the tree, when he was overtaken
by the wolf. Pabalìk si Hwàn. Juan is going back. Patúngo si Hwàn sa
báya-ng-Balíwag. Juan was headed for the town of Baliuag.
Similarly: álam, biglà`, bulòng, gawà`, hárang, kálat, lági`, lalà`,
puntà, sigàw, tágo`, takbò, talungkò`, tayò`, túloy.
(a) From a derived word: paitaàs (itaàs, § 373).
(b) The peculiar meaning is weakened in some words: ang paága a kind
of rice which matures early, ang pakinábang profit, advantage, ang
palabàs a theatrical performance, ang palígo` a bath, ang pamagàt an
appellation, a nickname. So from: bangò`, bása, bayò, bigàt, daàn,
dúsa, háyag, hintúlot, lákad, lígid, lúgit, sákit, talìm.
(c) With retraction of accent and contraction: páno (anò).
(d) Irregular: Ang pagkáparoon kò sa bèsbol ay paubáya` nang áki ng
gurò`. My going to the baseball game was by permission of my teacher
(báya`).
482. pa- (1) is made from barytone roots when they express manner, or,
more especially, direction: Ang bangkà` ay hindí paayòn sa ílog. The
boat is not headed with the stream. Pahagìs nya ng iniyabòt sa ákin ang
aklàt. He handed me the book by tossing it. Iníwan nya ng paharàng sa
daàn ang karitòn. He left the wagon blocking the road. Paharàng nya ng
inihágis sa ílog ang púno-ng-ságing. He threw the banana tree crosswise
into the river. Ang paglakè nang lámat nang pinggàn ay pahatè`. The
increase in the crack of the dish is going towards halving it. Ang
búnga ng itò y pahatè` kung mapiráso pagkahinòg. This fruit goes into
halves when it breaks on ripening. Similarly: líhim, pútol.
(a) The accent shift is due to the root and the value of the
formation is as in § 481, in: Ang paabòt mo ng súlat ay tinanggàp
ko. I have received the letter you sent to me. Si Hwàn ay isa ng báta
ng pabayà`. Juan is a neglectful boy.
(b) The accent shift is like that of a root word in: Paligú na ang
manga báta`. The children are bathed now (pa-lígo`).
483. pa- r, as explicit plural: see ábot.
484. pa- D. The action is repeated at short intervals; the reflexive
value is frequent. Sya y lumàlákad na pahintò-hintò`. He goes on,
stopping every little while. Pamalí-malì` ang kanya ng pagbílang. His
count contains repeated errors. Alam nyà ang manga pasíkot-síkot sa
báya-ng-Balíwag. He knows all the ins and outs of the district of
Baliuag. So from: iyàk, lígid, mínsan, pasiyàl, túlog.
(a) Accent shift is due to the root: Patúlog-túlog at pagisìng-gisìng
siyà. He sleeps and wakes by fits and starts. Patawà-tawà at
paiyàk-iyàk siyà. She giggles at one moment and weeps the next.
485. pa-pa- has durative-iterative meaning: Papaalìs sya nang akò
y dumatìng. He was just going away when I arrived. Papauròng sya ng
lumàlákad. He was going backwards. So from labàs.
(a) papáno (anò) seems equivalent to páno (§ 481,c).
486. As appears in the example of paligò` above (§ 482,b), the forms
with pa- are apparently capable of all the modifications that are
found in simple roots: Thus:
(a) with prefix pang- (§ 347): Pangpakáin sa báta` ang gátas na
itò. This milk is for the children's food. Pangpakáin sa panaúhin ang
pinatay kò ng túpa. The sheep I have slaughtered is for serving to the
guests. Pangpatukà sa manòk ang pálay na itò. These rice-grains are to
be given to the chickens to pick (tukà` the beak of a fowl). So from:
dikìt, lígo`.
(b) with ka- R (§ 400): Kapàpapútol ko pa lámang nang manga káhoy na
itò. I have just had this firewood cut.
(c) with ka-pag- R (§ 400,a): Kapagpàpapútol ko lámang nang siìt kay
Hwàn. I have just ordered Juan to cut up the bamboo spines.
(2) Normal transients, abstracts, and special static words.
487. The root with pa- is sometimes used as a transient contingent
punctual, with the value of a reflexive passive; more commonly the
form with ma-pa- (§ 506) fulfils this function. There are three types:
(a) Genuine reflexive passive: Paábut ka sa mangà nagsìsihábul sa
iyò. Let yourself be overtaken by your pursuers. Paakyat kà kay Hwàn
sa itaàs nang káhoy. Ask Juan to take you up into the tree. Twì ng
papásuk akò sa síne sa áki ng kúyang, ay nasìsiráan ang mákina. Every
time I ask my oldest brother to take me to the moving-picture show,
something goes wrong with the machine. So: kasàl, ligàw.
(b) Reflexive of interest: one who orders that something undergo
such and such an action for him: Paakyàt ka kay Hwàn nang isa ng
búnga-ng-nyòg. Ask Juan to climb for a cocoanut for you.
(c) Reflexive of motion; the pa- has faded value; thus are used
the local equivalents of the demonstrative pronouns and a few other
words. Paríni ka. Come here. Tuwì ng aku y paroòn sa kanya ng báhay
ay hindí ku sya inàabútan. Every time I go to his house, I fail to
find him in.
(d) If the pa- is accented, the action is more intense: Pàága ka nang
pagparíto. Be very early in your coming here.
(e) A contingent durative is formed with pa- R. (a) Paáakyat akò kay
Hwàn sa itaàs nang káhoy. I shall ask Juan to take me up into the
tree with him. Papàpások akò sa síne sa áki ng kúyang. I shall ask
my brother to take me to the moving-picture show. (b) Paáakyat akò
kay Hwàn nang isa ng búnga-ng-nyòg. I shall ask Juan to climb for a
cocoanut for me. Papùpútol akò nang buhòk kay Hwàn. I shall ask Juan
to cut my hair.
488. For the reflexive of motion (§ 487,c) a set of transients and
an abstract are formed with -um- and pag-. These also are equivalent
to the forms with ma-pa- (§ 506).
(a) Regularly from the four roots serving as locals of the
demonstrative pronouns. Pumaríni ka! Come here! Pumaríne ka sa áki
ng tabì. Come close here to my side.
Madálang ang pagparíto nang manga bálang. Locusts come here but
rarely. Pího ako ng pàparíto sa alasìngko. I will surely come here
at five o'clock.
Pápariyàn sána kamì, dátapuwat nagkaroòn kamì nang malakì ng
kaabalahàn, kanyà hindí kami nátuloy. We were coming to you, but we
had so much trouble that we did not carry out our intention.
Pagparoòn ko ay sàsabíhin ko sa kanyà ang ibinalítà mo. When I get
there I shall tell him what you have told me. Kità ng dalawà ay
páparon sa teyátro. We two are going to the theatre.
(b) Occasionally from loòb: pumaloòb.
(c) Also the abstracts pagpalígo`, pagpanáog; these form the transient
with ma- from the root (§ 441); and pagpatúngo, which forms its
transient with -um- from the root.
(d) Plurals: magsipalígo`, nagsìsipanáog.
489. mag-pa-, pag-pa-pa-. Active with mag- from the root with pa-
denotes one who causes, orders, or allows such and such an action to
be performed on something else or (reflexively) on himself.

to be held up. Si Pédro ay nagpaháte sa ákin nang pálay. Pedro had
rice dealt out to me. Ang kàtiwála y syà ng nagpahátì nang pálay sa
manga kasamà. It was the agent who ordered rice distributed to the
field-workers. Ang pagpapaháte nang kàtiwála sa manga lariyò sa manga
magkakápit-báhay ay hindí iniyútos nang panginoòn nya ng si Hwàn. The
agent's having bricks distributed among the neighbors was not in
accordance with the orders of his master Juan. Sya y nagpahíkaw sa
kanya ng alíla`. She had her maid put her earrings on her. (híkaw an
earring). Si Pédro ay nagpápahingà. Pedro is taking a rest (literally:

pagpapasakày sa trèn ni Hwàn nang manga kamátis ay hindí nautàs bágo
lumákad ang trèn. Juan had not finished having his tomatoes loaded
on the train, when the train started. Si Hwána ay nagpasákit nang
marámi ng manglilígaw sa kanyà. Juana caused grief to many who wooed
her. Si Hwána ay nagpasuklày sa kanya ng alíla`. Juana ordered her maid
to comb her hair for her. Ang pagpapasundú nya sa ákin sa alíla` ay
ikinagálit ko. His ordering me to fetch the servant made me angry. Sya
y nagpàpatalìm nang isa ng gúlok. He is sharpening a bolo. Nagpatáwag
akò nang isà ng kasamà. I had a workman called. Ang pagpapatáwag ko
sa manga alíla ay hindí sinunòd nang báta ng si Hwàn. Little Juan

nang kúra sa léyi ay hindi nátuluy, sapagkàt binatò nang manga táo
ang magtatawàg. The priest's order that the law be proclaimed was not
carried out, for the crier was stoned by the people. Nagpatayó sya nang

had his workers be sparing with their food. Nagpatípon si Hwàn nang

Maryà at ni Hwána. She gave testimony in the lawsuit between Maria
and Juana. Si Hwána ay naparoòn sa ákin at siyà ng nagpatotoò na ikàw

had attended a cock-fight. Ang pagpapatotoò nyà ay hindí tinanggàp nang
hukòm. The judge did not accept his testimony. Sya y nagpaupò` nang ilà
ng eskwéla. He had a few of the pupils sit down. Ang pagpapaupò nang
maèstro sa manga eskwéla ay hindí nila sinunòd agàd. The teacher's

(a) Different in meaning is the corresponding form from díto; it is the
primary instrumental passive corresponding to pumaríto, etc. (§ 488):
Ang pagsákop niyà nang táu ng makasalánan ay sya nyà ng ipinaríto. His
saving of sinful man is what he came here for.
(b) Accent shift is due to the root: Ipaalàm ka sa kanyà ang áki ng
patùtungúhan. Let him know where I am going. Ipinaalam nyà sa ákin
ang kanya ng nilóloòb. He made his intentions known to me. Ipinatulòy
ni Pédro ang pagpapatayò nang báhay. Pedro had them go on with the
construction of the house. Similarly: ábot.
(c) With pag- (cf. § 491): ipapagáral.
(d) With pa- prefixed to the root, the instrumental passive with pa-
denotes that ordered to be caused. The only example has radical accent
shift: Ipinapatulòy ni Hwàn sa kanya ng kàtiwála` ang pagtatanìm
nang manga kasamà. Juan had his agent order the field-workers to go
on with the planting.
495. i-pag-pa-, i-p-in-ag-pa-. When the relation of the object ordered
to undergo an action is explicitly that of a thing given forth (§
368), a kind of double instrumental passive is made by prefixing
pag- to the pa- (cf. the explicit use of pag- in primary passives,
§§ 369. 375): Ipinagpaháte` sa ákin ni Pédro ang pálay. The rice was
ordered by Pedro to be dealt out to me. Ang kwàlta ng nàpangaginàldohan

instrumental passive with paki- denotes the thing asked (as a favor) to
be caused to undergo such and such an action. Hwag mò ng ipakipapútol
ang púno-ng-káhoy, dátapuwat pakiputúlin mo na mìsmo. Don't ask

cut down. Ipinakipapútol nya kay Hwàn ang manga damò sa bakúran. He

so: Ipinakipakáin lámang niya ang kanya ng anàk hábang sya y
walà`. She asked someone else to feed her child while she was
away. Ipinakìkipasúso lámang nya kay Maryà ang kanya ng anàk, sapagkàt
walá sya ng gátas. She is asking Maria to nurse her child for her,
because she has no milk.
497. pa- (1) -an, p-in-a- (1) -an. The local passive with pa- denotes
that caused to undergo an action as local object.
Paaláman mo sa kanyà kung saàn ka páparon. Let him know where you

(i.e. warmed, so as to speed flowering) the mango trees. Pinabayáan ni

of rice. Pinapahatían ni Pédro nang pálay ang manga kasamà. Pedro

498. Special static words are formed with pà- and -an to denote place
or plurality of habitual causative action; barytone roots have accent
shift of two syllables, sometimes optionally of one syllable:
Ang maliìt na sápa ng itò ay sya ng pàbiyáyan ni Alfònso nang maliliìt
na isdà ng nàhùhúli nya sa ílog. This little pool is where Andrés

With irregularities of accent, as in § 353,a.b.: Sya y

naging pinakamarúnong na táo sa kapulua-ng-Filipínas. Rizal was

to be ordered to leave Juan's house, to be dismissed from Juan's
house. Ikinàpàpaalìs nila sa kanyà ang kanya ng pinaggagawà ng
katampalasánan sa manga háyop. His constant cruelty to the animals is
forcing them to dismiss him. Ang kaibigàn nya ng màtúto ay sya nyà
ng ikináparoon sa Espánya. His desire to get an education is what
made him go to Spain. Baká mo ikàpahámak ang iyo ng pagparoòn. I am

to fall into bad ways.
(a) With pag- either before or after the kà- a voluntary actor is
implied who is caused to make someone or something do or be so and
so. Ang ipinagkàpasakày ni Hwàn sa kanya ng máy sakit na kapatìd sa
trèn sa lugàr nang sa karumáta ay ang katulínan nang trèn. What made
Juan have his brother ride on the train rather than in a carriage was
the speed of the train. Nagpaísip sya sa kanya ng manga eskwéla nang
