TALASALITAANG PANG-YUNIT
Particles are often single words whose meaning adds a particular nuance to a sentence.
Daw indicates indirect discourse. E.g. I hear(d), I’m told, It is/was said, They say/said.
Raw is a variant of Daw. Raw is used following a vowel-ending word,
Daw following a consonant-ending word. Sino raw ang nag-anyaya kay Jun?
(Who did they say invited Jun?) Si Janet daw ang nag-anyaya. (I heard that Janet invited him)
Nga indicates emphasis, indeed.
Pala indicates surprise, realization
Na means already, in a positive sentence.
In the negative “Hindi na” means not anymore, no longer
Pa means still, in a positive sentence.
In the negative, “Hindi pa” – not yet
Din means too, also, likewise. The same alternation between d ~ r as in “daw” and “raw.”
Naman here, it indicates contrast. E.g. whereas, as for (the other), on the other hand,
Lang indicates limit - only, just. “Lang” is a contraction of “lamang.”
Muna means “first.” It indicates the first item to occur in a sequence.
Ba transforms a declarative sentence into an interrogative sentence. Usually used in a question that may be answered with a yes or no.
Now, reviewing the Dayalogo, compare the sentences below in Filipino to the English sentences that contain an enclitic and underline the English equivalent of the enclitic/particle. The first item has been done for you.
