This tutorial is good for Upper Beginners & Intermediate in Tagalog. We're talking about a few common words and phrases that are often lost in translation in English. Listen until the end and learn the difference between the following: Mulâ & Nagmulâ Mulâ & Nanggaling Mulâ & Tagasaán Nagmulâ & Nanggaling Tagalog Word “Mulâ” Mulâ in English is “from” and it refers to starting location/place or starting point in time. Sentence Examples: Mayroón akóng sardinas na mulâ sa Pilipinas. (have I sardines na from sa Pilipinas) Mulâ umaga hanggáng gabí ay nagbasá lang akó kahapon. (from morning until night ay read only I yesterday) Ipagmaneho mo akó mulâ dito sa bahay hanggáng sa airport. (drive you Mulâ noón hanggáng ngayón ay magandá ka pa rin. Tagalog Word “Nagmulâ” "Nagmulâ" is a verb which means began. It's the past tense of the infinitive verb "magmulâ". Sentence Example: Pasensya nahulí akó nang datíng, matrapik kasí at nagmulâ pa akó sa Tagatáy. Rin Versus Din Rin & din mean the same thing. They both mean “too” or “also”. Use “rin” when the word before it ends in a vowel letter. Use “din” when the word before it ends in a consonant letter. For example: Pangit din Mabait din Mabuti rin Tagalog Word “Tagasaán” If you wish to ask the question "where are you from" avoid saying the word "mulâ" but use the word "tagasaán" instead. Taga is a prefix and it's not appropriate to translate it to English while "saán" is translated as "where". Taga is like saying that a person is "assigned to" or "assigned as". Tagasaán, somehow, can mean "where are you assigned as". But to simplify the meaning, let's accept that "tagasaan" means "where from". Tagasaán ka? (taga-where you) Tagasaán si Albine? (taga-where si Albine) Saán ipinanganák si Albine? (where born si Albine) Taga-Ohio akó, ipinanganák akó sa Pilipinas. (Taga-Ohio I, born I sa Philippines) Dati sa Cavite akó nakatirá. (Before sa Cavite I living) Tagalog Word “Nanggaling” Nanggaling is a verb which may mean"have been". It is the past tense of the infinitive verb "manggaling" which means to start from. Manggaling is synonym to magmulâ and it can be interchangeable. Sentence Examples: Pasensya nahulí akó nang datíng, matrapik kasí at nanggaling pa akó sa Tagatáy. Saán nanggaling si Amihan? (where came-from si Amihan; where have Amihan been) Nanggaling akó sa trabaho, sa palengke at sa simbahan. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tagalogwithalbine/support

This tutorial on Tagalog language is suited for beginners. Specifically this is a lesson on Ligatures or Particles "na" and "at". In this episode, the student will be able to construct simple Tagalog phrases.
What Are Ligatures?
Ligatures are words that have no precise meaning. Ligatures are also known as particles. These are essential on crafting phrases or sentences because it helps express the precise thoughts or ideas of the speaker.
Na usually connects an adjective with a noun.
Examples:
- Mataás na gusalì (tall building) Gusalì na mataás (either the noun or the adjective may be mentioned first; tall building) Asúl na kwarto (blue room) Kwarto na asúl (blue room) Malinis na kwarto (clean room) Maliít na kwarto (small room)
When the word before “na” ends with a vowel, eliminate the “na” but apply the suffix “ng” (or “g”)
Ng (or g) is used as a suffix to avoid saying the ligature “na”
Examples:
- Gusaling mataás (suffix “ng” or “g” is used to avoid saying the ligature “na”; tall building) Kwartong asúl (blue room) Madumíng kwarto (dirty room) Kwartong madumí (dirty room) Malakíng kwarto (big room)
How To Enumerate Related Concepts Or Ideas?
The ligature “at” is a connector which means “and”.
Examples:
- Batà at matandâ (young and old) Kamatis, bawang at luya (tomato, garlic and ginger) Matangkád at makisig (tall and fit) Matamís, malutóng at sariwà (sweet, crunchy and fresh) Pitumpû at dalawá (seventy and two)
Contraction: Use ’t (apostrophe t) when the word before “at” ends with a vowel.
Examples:
- Bata’t matandâ (young and old) Pitumpu’t dalawá (seventy and two) Ako’t ikáw (you and I) Mayama’t mahirap (rich and poor) Kahoy, bakal at yero (wood, steel and corrugated sheet)
Tue, 05 Dec 2023 - 49min - 37 - Tagalog Grammar For Beginners || The Ligature Na & The Suffix Ng
This tutorial is suited for beginners in Tagalog. Specifically, you'll learn how to connect Tagalog adjectives with a noun. The ligature "na" or the suffix "ng" and sometimes the suffix "g" helps build simple Tagalog phrases.
Ligatures are words that have no precise meaning on its own. These are word helpers that work together with other parts of speech (e.g. nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs) so that a simple phrase or sentence can be understandable. Ligatures are also known as particles.
The ligature "na" usually connects an adjective with a noun. The suffixes "ng" and "g" are used to avoid saying the ligature “na”
Examples:
- Mataás na gusalì (tall building) Malalim na dagat (deep sea) Asúl na langit (blue sky) Anim na itlóg (6 eggs) Matalinong tao (intelligent person) Mabuting batà (good child)
It's also correct to mention the noun first before the adjective:
