Tagalog Lesson 3: Present Tense Conjugation

[@genkideska4486]

Last epi was 5 months ago po. 😢 I thought you stopped making this valuable series. Thank you for returning. 😊

[@christiandelacruz8815]

Are you Japanese sir.. Welcome Philippines language 🇵🇭🤝🇯🇵

[@Patient0404]

WELCOME TO THE PHILLIPINES!!!!

[@mangyan_oppa]

I like your smile…. True Filipina beauty… keep doing videos like this

[@jpbstamaria]

Oh my god! I am a native Tagalog speaker and I didn’t know that Tagalog grammar is this complicated. I’ve never learned it in school this way. Amazing teacher!

[@waynehearne5498]

I'm learning this from England, Omg this is hard haha I can memorize loads of singular words but putting them together with the verbs is certainly challenging. 😂😂😂

[@chaopanofasia8490]

Yup. Kahit yung mga American missionaries dito, mas madali daw ang Ilonggo sa lahat. Ang Tagalog mahirap.

[@photoguy1954]

Thanks so much for these wonderful videos. I married a Filipina last year and want to learn Tagalog so we can use it talking with her children and relatives. We plan to visit the Philippines again this Christmas so learning Tagalog will help me fit in and understand what the family is saying. Your instructional videos are extremely helpful and easy. I look forward to future videos is you make them.

[@untukawat86]

I speak natively Javanese and Indonesian. What I find interesting is that Tagalog looks very similar to Ancient Javanese vocabulary- and structure-wise.Tagalog still retains the so-called Austronesian allignment system which is now lost in Javanese/Indonesian due to the heavy influence of Sanskrit, Arabic and European languages. Anyway thank you so much for these lessons Mrs. Pat which have successfully given me a deeper understanding of Tagalog grammar and its affixation system (which is as complicated as its Malay/Indonesian counterpart). 😁🙏🙏

[@anthonychua3209]

Which makes Tagalog conjugation very complicated to foreigners 😞

[@ryleyichardson7569]

Thank you so much for making this beautiful content! I am half Filipino trying to learn my Mothers language at 32 years old haha. This content breaks down the language very effectively. Love your content please keep it up! Marking salamat po!

[@john.s]

thank you very much! people like you make Tagalog more accessible

[@CaramelMachiato912]

Salamat po ate Pat. I am a foreigner, who loves to learn tagalog through sa mga video mo. This episode sobrang sobrang clear for me to learn deeply. Oo, naman ! Gustung-gusto ko talaga ito. I can see myself is having improvement from time to time in Tagalog phrases. Looking forward in learning more chapters through your another video.

[@christianjorgensen7192]

Mabuti. Salamat.

[@wozsalmon]

I have really appreciated your videos 1 thru 3. I've been trying to improve my understanding of Tagalog for the past 37 years, and your means of teaching and your superb explanations have clarified so much for me in such a short space of time. My wife has always been reluctant to teach me too much Tagalog in case I start to use if for naughty purposes. Yes, of course, she knows me full well even though, nowadays, mabait ako, totoo!

[@rustyjay1]

This is great! You're an excellent teacher. Salamat po!

[@lcmspastortim]

Salamat po for the grammar. I keep asking native speakers and they just tell me to watch videos. This is meat and potatoes. It will help me and my daughter who have Pinoy blood learn the mother language.

[@johngatliff7648]

The Philppines is so diverse. For example Tagalog vs Iliocano, very much 2 different languages. Yet, one at a time. Hahahah. Thank you.

[@anthonychua3209]

@@johngatliff7648 exactly. I'm a native Filipino (Tagalog) speaker but I don't understand Ilocano. I believe even Tagalog grammar is different from Ilocano's.

[@Ed19601]

I am learning bisaya and i acquired my knowledge mainly through listening but always been baffled by why a specific verb was used as it is. Thanks to your videos and especially this one, i finally start to see some light in the tunnel. I am sure there are some differences in grammar between Tagalog and Bisaya, but at least i found some solid ground now (and might end up speaking Bisalog or Tagaya)

[@alexlimkin7397]

These are exceptionally helpful and valuable instructional videos. Salamat! My father was Kampampangan and spoke Ilocano as well as Tagalog. Sadly I learned nothing. 😢 Here I am at 51 learning what I can. My goal is to one day be able to read my Tagalog version of Noli Me Tangere (yes I know Josë Rizal wrote the original in Castilian, and it was only later translated into Tagalog.) Anyway, thank you very much for this incredible work you are doing! 🙏🏾 #kapwa

[@808pera6]

Thank you so much. Your explanation of phrases is very much appreciated.

[@parthamukherjee3014]

This is a very good video. Thank you for pointing out the grammar part. There is no way to learn a language without understanding grammar.🙏🙏

[@Amelscott1517]

Wonderful video. The way you describe things makes so it so much easier to understand

[@Puting_Kapre]

Hello po, thank you for your videos. I have studied Tagalog and Bisaya for over 25 years now. I visit often just too keep up to speed on the basics. About halfway through this lesson you talked about the classification of verbs. This bothered me for many years and finally i spent a considerable amount of time researching it. Here is what my research came to. MAG- Are used with root verbs who's actions involve an object that is exterior. Think of actions done by yourself or another person that accomplishes a task of some kind. Example - Nagluto ang asawa ko ng pinakbet kagabi. (My wife cooked pinakbet last night) The task in the example was performed by my wife. -UM- Are used with root verbs who's actions do not involve external objects. Think of emotions and self actions. Example - Umiisip ako. ( I am thinking) Thinking happens within. MA- Is used with inactive verbs. Example - matutulog na ako (I wil sleep) I- Used with verbs where the action does not alter the original state of the original item. Itago ang mga regalo (Hide the presents). Hiding something does not change the item (I- verbs are the object counterpart to MAG- verbs) -IN Used in verbs when something is done to a person or thing and the original state changes. Example - Gigisingin ko ang asawa ko (I will wake my wife up) (-IN verbs are the object counterpart to -UM- verbs) -AN Used with verbs where the action affects the appearance or surface but does not change the original item. EX - Walisan ang sahig. (Sweep the floor) Sweeping cleans the floor but the floor reamains a floor after. -AN classified verbs show action to human or animals. Example - Hinahalikan ko ang aking asawa tuwing umaga. (I kiss my wife each morning) There are some words that can be classified in more than one category depending on the context of the sentence. Bali, Punta, Gawa Hingi, Basa, Sulat, and Sayaw are a few I can think of that both have -UM- and MAG- conjugations. Umaasa ako na makakatulong ito sa iyo sa hinaharap. :)

[@franek1643]

That was a perfect lesson! Good illustrations and explanations.

[@millennialaviation]

Salamat para sa lessons! I can’t even describe how helpful these lessons have been!

[@CassiePlayz09]

This really helped me a lot to understand what my family is saying because they speak a lot of Tagalog.

Happy Thanksgiving ate Pat !! 🇺🇸🫶🏻🇵🇭

[@UTUBE-MONITOR]

Salamat Po!.. learned alot; clarified when to use diff pronoun sets. I think if all verbs were say mags the language would not sound so colorful and be repetitive so that's why I think diff categories. I look forward to continuing here and hope to do classes online❤

[@landmarkification]

I came across somewhere that the reason why it is a MAG verb because of its prefix Mag-lakad and similary with MA verb because of its prefix Ma-tulog. I am not sure about the others though. Thats my understanding of it. I am enjoying your lessons, learning so much. Thank you for your good work Pat.

[@nhale6195]

[@thatguy_guy]

I asked Ai to solve why some words are categorized and how to know when to use them. This what I got MAG Verbs: Formation: MAG verbs start with the prefix “mag-.” Actor-Focus: These verbs emphasize the person doing the action. Usage: MAG verbs are used for actions in the future and imperative forms. Examples: Magluto (to cook) - “I will cook.” Magsulat (to write) - “Write!” MA Verbs: Formation: MA verbs begin with the prefix “ma-.” Actor-Focus or Object-Focus: They can focus on either the subject or the object. Actor-Focus: The action happens to the subject (e.g., “fall asleep”). Object-Focus: The action affects the object (e.g., “get wet”). Usage: MA verbs are used for various tenses. Examples: Natulog (slept) - “I slept” (subject-focused). Bilhin (to buy) - “Buy it” (object-focused). UM Verbs: Formation: UM verbs incorporate the infix “-um-” after the first consonant. Actor-Focus: These verbs emphasize the subject as the doer of the action. Usage: UM verbs are typically used for actions in the past tense. Examples: Sumulat (to write) - “I wrote.” Kumain (to eat) - “I ate.” IN Verbs: Formation: IN verbs have the infix “-in-” within the verb root. Actor-Focus or Object-Focus: They can focus on either the subject or the object. Usage: IN verbs are used for various tenses. Examples: Sulat (to write) becomes Sinulat (wrote). Bili (to buy) becomes Binili (bought). I Verbs: Formation: I verbs have the infix “-i-” within the verb root. Actor-Focus or Object-Focus: They can focus on either the subject or the object. Usage: I verbs are used for various tenses. Examples: Takbo (to run) becomes Tumakbo (ran). Laban (to fight) becomes Lumaban (fought).

I watched three times and still feel confused on um ma and mag. 😢i definitely need a teacher

[@yannym4605]

Thank you! This has helped me so much. However, it’s my understanding that the in-verb of “sweep” is “Walisin”. “Walis” is the root word of “Walisin” and “Magwalis”, but it just means broom in a sentence.

Actor-focused stresses the person/thing doing the action. For example: The boy is washing the dishes. (Ang batang lalaki ay naghuhugas ng pinggan.) Object-focused stresses on the action: For example: The dishes are being washed by the boy. (Hinuhugasan ng batang lalaki ang pinggan.)

[@divadiva2994]

Thank you for calling it “Tagalog” - what I have been taught is the language closest to what was spoken by the indigenous peoples of the Philippines.

How do you know which verb roots use which affixes/infixes.

[@Ed19601]

"So many verb tenses, especially in english" Amateurs! laughed the Frenchman, hold my croissant while i cite ours 😊😊

[@lancecorporal7605]

4:46 i believe that in "wash the dishes", the subject is implied as "You"

[@anthonychua3209]

In Tagalog we usually indicate the subject even in imperative sentences. In English it's ok to say "Wash the dishes," implying that the subject is "you" But Tagalog, you need to indicate the subject to make it a complete sentence. (Hugasan mo ang pinggan.)

[@nyan9225]

Yo quiero aprender tagalog, escuché algunas Filipinas en mi país hablar y me pareció interesante

[@jutjuhp]

Hi Pat - great stuff well explained in an entertaining manner 👍 So I went and wanted to apply this to the verb "inom" (drink) and it never worked out. Apparently, there are exceptions that make things real complicated. I think you rightfully try to keep it simple, but please mention that there are irregular verbs that have real complex rules based on the initial character, the vowel or consonant that follows, etc. and whether or not you are thinking of adding a lesson or clip for that or refer to a video that handles it. If you already did, apologies - I must have missed it. So, after quite some research, I learned that inom (drink) becomes UM-inom --> uminom (to drink) and for present tense you repeat the initial vowel after "UM" and it becomes UM-I-inom -> umiinom, For past tense you only add the word after the "UM" --> uminom and for the future tense you just double the initial vowel --> iinom (Pat, please correct me if I'm wrong here) Keep on doing the great work you do. Congrats!

When I was there last year the visyian language was starting to sink in because that's all I heard but I had to go back home so now I've lost some of it😢

[@rubenuvelesrubio1010]

In the example of Taglish magdrive, the Tagalog version magmaneho is really not pure Tagalog because maneho is derived from Spanish word manejo which also means to drive. So magmaneho is another example of conjugating a foreign derived word to make it Tagalog just the same as Taglish magdrive. That said, it is generally understood by Filipinos that maneho is purely a Tagalog word.

[@ToucheTJ]

Hello and thank you for the video. I'm learning Tagalog at the moment and I don't know if it's just me, but is "t" pronounced a certain way" in Tagalog? For example Matulog, it almost sounds like Malulog and not Ma-2-log. I also hear this in other words that have a "t" in them as well although I can't recall them xD.

[@alfansteven]

Kami in indonesian also we.

Naglalangoy is word that can be used., it is confusing if tagalog is not your mothertongue.naglalangoy and lumalangoy is basicallly the same meaning, based on how this both prefixes is used in my expirience is The Prefix LUMA is common used by native tagalog speakers.,while NAGLA is most common used by non tagalog native., like i said same meaning how i understood both of the words., what i will say is in batangueño(a dialect in tagalog),. Sometimes people in my province they would the their sentences the real confusing thing in just tagalog., i can explain this .,by the way this vid is good., for people to learn tagalog/filipino .,

Thank you! I’d love to see you make a series intended for us older people who just need to learn basic words and key phrases, etc. What I’d refer to as “functional Tagalog”. As an example of what I’m referring to would be phrases/questions like; “Where is the hospital?” “Where is a gas station?” “Compliments to the chef.” “Can you give me directions?” “How much does that cost?” Thanks again and keep the videos coming. I listen to them while I’m awake and while I’m sleeping 😁

Hi! Their meanings are basically the same but they can differ in the nuance or what you want to emphasize.

[@chaopanofasia8490]

How Pat pronounced the verb "Manood" to watch, was very american 😅

[@vareseources]

You should've explained why we are using a street conversation like "Nagluluto ako" instead of the grammatically correct "Ako ay nagluluto". The latter may sound archaic but it's the grammatically correct one.

[@edrinabrigo923]

I think when used in the latter format, it sounds more like, the "I am _____" used in self- identity like you would use in say your name or profession. "my identity is the act of cooking" is what it feels like that is translated to.

I got lost on the verbs😢😢😢 a bit.

[@dankotyk1160]

I get confused by which affix to use. Example: Your screen says that Maglinis is a MAG verb, and the prior part of the lesson says the affix for this verb in the present simple tense is MAG. Even your screen says this is a MAG verb. However, when you actually conjugate it you use NAG not MAG. Can you explain the use of NAG vs MAG as the affix?

[@reyesmarlon5805]

MAG is present tense NAG is usually past tense Ex. Naglinis is past tense Maglinis is present tense (but can also be Naglilinis) Maglilinis is future tense Sorry if i didn't explained it well, but somehow we unconsiously interchange it in normal conversation.

Hi Pat, thank you for your video. I have really tried to learn your language but it is so difficult for an Englishman to even pronounce some of the words. I have no concept of how you put the words into a sentence to say something. The more I try to understand, the worse it gets. This is not an easy language to learn. The reason is because nothing looks familiar to English eyes. Sorry 😢

I have heard both. You don’t have to pick one form or the other. They are both correct, but you should learn both so you aren’t caught off guard.

[@chaopanofasia8490]

In Manila we pronounce Siya or S'ya as Sha

[@user-id9bn1ic9v]

I can give an explanation for the I- verbs at least. The prefix ‘i-‘ is used as a benefactive marker, meaning the verb is done FOR something or someone. That essentially means that it’s an afterthought, and that you’re doing the ‘-in-‘ conjugation and then adding the prefix afterwards. That’s all I’ve got for now
