      images Notes:

      1. Sometimes two pronouns can be used to mean the same thing. An example is ko and akin, both of which mean my. However, in the case of akin, you need the linker na, to link it to the noun or subject.

nanay komy mother (literally, mother my)
Siya ang nanay ko.She + ang + mother + my. She is my mother.
aking (contraction of akin + na)my
aking nanaymy mother
Siya ang aking nanay.She + ang + my + mother. She is my mother.

      2. A characteristic of the Tagalog language that is difficult for learners to grasp is the flexibility of meaning. Among the pronouns, for example, akin can mean me, my, and mine.

Mas matangkad siya kaysa sa akin.Taller + he/she + than + me.He/she is taller than me.
Matangkad ang aking tatay.Tall + ang + my + father. My father is tall.
Akin ito.Mine + this. This is mine.
