Filipino Sentence Construction

*** under construction ***

Filipino sentences can be formed with one word or a group of words.

One word:
The following are examples of one-word sentences.

Umuulan. (It is raining.)
Salamat. (Thank you.)

Two words:
The following are examples of sentences in a form of "verb - object"

Mahal kita. "Mahal" stands for love and "kita" is you, so "mahal kita" in English is "I love you."
Masaya ako. "Masaya" stands for happy and "ako" is me. When written in English it will become "I am happy."

Another form could be when you add po in a word. "Po" is used to make the sentence more respectful.

Salamat po. (Thank you.)
Hindi po. (No)

More than two words:

Siya ay matapang. (S/he is brave.)
Ang bata ay matalino (The child is intelligent.)

Have fun learning Filipino languages!!!
