This video continues our discussion on how Tagalog words are created. This is with the combination of Root Words and Affixes. Affixes can be prefixes (words that are inserted at the beginning of the root word), suffixes (words inserted at the end of the root word) or infixes (words inserted into the root word).

In this video we dig deep into Tagalog affixes focusing on some of Tagalog’s more common affixes and how words are created using them in combination with root words, root verbs and nouns. In this video, we discuss the following affixes:

• MA + Root word = Adjective
• PA + Root verb = A verb describing an action that is about to be done
• NA + Root verb = A verb describing an unintentional action
• Root word + AN = A noun describing the purpose or use of an object or a place
• KA + Root word = A word that indicates connection with someone
• KA + Root word + AN = A word that invokes the sense of vastness
• PALA + Noun = An adjective that implies habitual action
• MALA + Noun = An adjective that describes a characteristic or likeness not natural to the one being described
