How Do You Conjugate The Verbs In Infinitive In Tagalog?
there are 2 ways: the usual (karaniwan) and the unusual (di-pangkaraniwan). the most basic infinitive verb in any language is “TO BE”. to conjugate verbs in the usual form, just add the word “AY” to the pronoun: AKO AY = I AM (1st. sing) IKAW AY = YOU ARE (2nd. sing) SIYA AY = HE/SHE IS (3rd. sing, Tagalog grammar isn’t gender specific) TAYO AY = WE ARE (1st. plur) KAYO AY = YOU ARE (2nd plur) SILA AY = THEY ARE = (3rd. plur) for the unusual form, it involves using interchanging the pronoun and the verb (verb comes first instead of the pronoun), omitting the word “AY”, repeating certain syllables of the verb, and adding fillers depending on the tense. stick to the usual form because learning the unusual form takes time by conversing in Tagalog.
