Tagalog and English pronouns differ in several ways. For example, English has gender-specific pronouns like "he" and "she," whereas Tagalog generally uses gender-neutral pronouns like "siya." Moreover, while English has possessive adjectives like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their" to indicate possession without using the word "of," Tagalog also has possessive pronouns that serve a similar purpose. | |||

What are pronouns?[edit | edit source]
Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences. They are often used to avoid repeating the same noun multiple times, thereby making sentences shorter and more concise. In Tagalog, several types of pronouns exist, such as personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, and demonstrative pronouns.
Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. In Tagalog, these pronouns have different forms depending on whether the noun being referred to is singular or plural.
Tagalog | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
Ako | ah-KOH | I/me |
Ikaw | ee-KAW | You |
Siya | see-YAH | He/She |
Kami | KAH-mee | We/us |
Kayo | KAH-yoh | You (plural) |
Sila | SEE-lah | They/them (plural) |
Here is an example dialogue using personal pronouns:
- Person 1: Ako ay nagugutom. (I am hungry.)
- Person 2: Ako rin. Gusto mo ba magkain na tayo? (Me too. Do you want to eat now?)
- Person 1: Oo, kain na tayo. (Yes, let's eat.)
Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership or possession. They can replace nouns and specify to whom or what something belongs. In Tagalog, possessive pronouns also have different forms depending on the plurality of the noun they replace.
Tagalog | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
Akin | ah-KIN | Mine |
Iyo/Ninyo | ee-YOH/nee-NYOH | Yours (singular/plural) |
Kanya | KAH-nyah | His/hers/its |
Amin | ah-MIN | Ours |
Inyo | ee-NYOH | Yours (plural) |
Kanila | kah-NEE-lah | Theirs (plural) |
Here is an example dialogue using possessive pronouns:
- Person 1: Akin ang libro na ito. (This book is mine.)
- Person 2: Ah, akala ko iyo iyon. (Ah, I thought that was yours.)
- Person 1: Talaga? Salamat! (Really? Thank you!)
Demonstrative Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out or indicate specific nouns in a sentence. In Tagalog, these pronouns don't change based on plurality, contrary to what was previously stated.
Tagalog | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
Ito | ee-TOH | This |
Iyan | ee-YAHN | That (near the listener) |
Iyon | ee-YOHN | That (far from both speaker and listener) |
Here is an example dialogue using demonstrative pronouns:
- Person 1: Ito ang bahay ko. (This is my house.)
- Person 2: Maganda ito. (This is beautiful.)
- Person 1: Salamat. At iyan, ano iyon? (Thank you. And that, what is that?)
- Person 2: Iyon ay isang puno. (That is a tree.)
Comparison to English Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Tagalog and English pronouns differ in several ways. For example, English has gender-specific pronouns like "he" and "she," whereas Tagalog generally uses gender-neutral pronouns like "siya." Moreover, while English has possessive adjectives like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their" to indicate possession without using the word "of," Tagalog also has possessive pronouns that serve a similar purpose.
