Pokus ng Pandiwa

A. Aktor

The verbal affixes that indicate that the actor, doer, or the originator of the action is in focus are
-um-, mag-, mang-, and ma-.

[The baker made some bread.]

Verb Affix Verb Subject Object


-um- Gumawa ang panadero ng tinapay.
[(You) sell some vegetables.]

Verb Affix Verb Subject Object


mag- Magbili ka ng gulay.
[You catch some mice.]

Verb Affix Verb Subject Object


mang- Manghuli kayo ng daga.
[You sleep.]

Verb Affix Verb Subject Object


ma- Matulog kayo.
As observed earlier, each of these focus affixes follow unique ways of inflecting the aspect.

B. Layon (Object or Goal )

Verbal affixes that indicate that the subject of the sentence is the object or goal of the action
include the suffixes -in and -an and the prefix i-.

[(You) hammer the nail.]

Verb Affix Verb Actor Object (subject)


-in Pukpukin mo ang pako.
[(You) wash the car.]

Verb Affix Verb Actor Object (subject)


-an Hugasan mo ang kotse.
[(You) write the story.]

Verb Affix Verb Actor Object (subject)


-l Isulat mo ang kuwento.
The -in Object-Focus Suffix
The neutral form of the -in verb is formed by suffixing -in to the verb root.

Neutral alis + in alisin


basa + in basahin
If the root ends in a vowel, -hin is suffixed to the root rather than -in. With the addition of the
suffix -in there is also a shift in stress to the next syllable toward the end of the word.

The completed aspect is formed by placing -in before the first vowel of the root.

Completed in + alis inalis


in + basa binasa
In the incompleted aspect, the first syllable of the root is reduplicated and then the infix is
inserted before the first vowel of the base.

Incompleted in + alis in + basa


aalis1 babasa1
inaalis2 binabasa2
1
Reduplicate first consonant-vowel

2
Then insert -in- before first vowel

The -I Object-Focus Prefix

The neutral aspect of the i- verb is formed by prefixing i- to the verb root. To this neutral form,
insert the infix -in- before the first vowel of the root and the completed aspect is formed. If
instead the first (consonant)-vowel of the neutral form is reduplicated, the contemplated aspect
is formed. If the first (consonant)-vowel of the neutral form is reduplicated and then the infix -in-
is inserted before the first vowel of this reduplicated syllable, the incompleted aspect is formed.

Root abot tapon


Neutral iabot itapon
Completed iniabot5,* itinapon5
Contemplated iaabot6 itatapon6
Incompleted iniaabot7,* itinatapon7
5
To the neutral form, insert -in before the first vowel of root

6
Reduplicate first (C)V- of root in the neutral forms

7
Reduplicate first (C)V- of root, then insert -in before first vowel of reduplicated syllable

Remember that the infix -in- becomes ni- before vowels and the consonants h, y, n, l.
*
C. Lokatibo (location)

The verbal affixes that indicate that the subject is the location of the action or that the action is
done toward that direction include -in, -an, and pag...an.

Locative Affix Verb Actor Locative Subject


-an Punasan mo ang mesa.
-in Balibagin mo ang mangga.
pag...an Pagsabihan mo si Belen.
-An and -in follow a consonant sound, and -han and -hin a vowel sound. There is also an
accompanying shift in stress to the next syllable with the addition of the suffix.

punas + an balibag + in pag + sabi + an


Neutral punasan balibagin pagsabihan
Completed pinunasan binalibag pinagsabihan
Contemplated pupunasan babalibagin pagsasabihan
Incompleted pinupunasan binabalibag pinagsasabihan
A couple of things to note: The locative suffix -in is dropped in the completed aspect, and the
incompleted aspect infix -in- is inserted in the reduplicated CV in both the -an and -in verbs.

If the verb has a directional meaning, for example, balibag (throw something at), the focus of
the verb is sometimes referred to as "source" or "goal" depending on the direction of the
action.

D. Benepaktibo

The verbal affixes that indicate that the beneficiary of the action is the subject are generally i-
or ipag-.

[You buy a pair of shoes for Mother.]

Verb Actor Beneficiary-Subject Goal/Object


i- Ibili mo ang Nanay ng sapatos.
[You wash clothes for the sick one.]

Verb Actor Beneficiary-Subject Goal/Object


ipag- Ipaglaba mo ang maysakit ng damit.
The ipag- verbs behave like the i- verbs except that the -in- or the indicator of the action
started is infixed in the prefix rather than in the root.

Neutral ipagluto ibili


Completed ipinagluto ibinili
Contemplated ipagluluto ibibili
Incompleted ipinagluluto ibinibili

E. Gamit (Instrument)

The verbal affix that refers to anything used or acted upon to bring about the action as subject
is ipang-, usually shortened to i-.

[You use the knife to cut the mango.]

Verb Actor Instrument-Subject Goal


ipang- Ipanghiwa mo ang kutsilyo ng mangga.
The ipang-verb is inflected in the same manner as the ipag- verb. In addition, its final nasal
undergoes the same sound changes mang- undergoes.

ipang + tahi
Neutral ipangtahi, ipanahi
Completed ipinangtahi, ipinanahi
Contemplated ipangtatahi, ipananahi
Incompleted ipinangtatahi, ipinananahi

F. Kosatibong pokus (causative)
