Word Of The Day - Page 3

@hamilee
Yes, I know this of course.
I was talking about the first comment (the quoted part) of malaman vs nalaman. Different aspect of the same verb.A major reason for the creation of this website was to have a dictionary resource that shows stress location in words.

@hamilee I haven't heard the words malumi and maragsa in decades! Thanks for bringing it up! As I faintly remember, some words have an "impit" at the end, like a holding back of the last sound. Like basa, wet. It would have been nice if Tagalog had marks to indicate how it's pronounced. To a native, it's second nature. Truth be told, I have a much easier time writing in formal English than Tagalog.
