Question: Hello! in my lesson it says "pumasyal" means "to come

@NayMateo
Yeah, could be, depends on the context.
The "pasyal" root usually means something along the lines of going for a stroll, roaming around, going on a trip (to see someone).

It depends on the context. It can mean casually visiting someone or just strolling around

So we can all say "Depende"...and of course its always true "Depende" more so with Tagalogs...But...it doesn't help much...JKos has built the best set of Tagalog Tools here without question...he has empowered everyones' Tagalog if we just look...For me, always strengthen your ear with the rooooooooooooooooooooot - root root rootFrom the dictionary...pasyál: [noun] stroll • roam around The root gives you a strong feeling for the range of meaning that a particular affix could influence...So here -UM- affix gives us pUMasyal and the Tagalog.com dictionary sayspumasyál: [verb] to take a walk • to take a strollSo we have a push in a certain direction..The MAG affix is a bit stronger usage and may reveal more range in meaning...magpasyál: [verb] to tour around • to take a stroll • to take a walk • to take a tour And here you see the genius of Tagalog...meaning is extended without need to reinvent the wheel. We can start with walk...to...take a stroll...to...roam around...to...visit someone...to...take a tour. Pinoys are extremely talented and flexible in verbal skills and will even get your own extensions. So there is rarely a 1 to 1 direct translation of any given Tagalog Word. A root gives a direction and the speaker drives the meaning to a destination.Which is why you start at the root...to get a core meaning...and then look to affixes to "fix" a particular direction.The flexibility and extensibility of Tagalog...makes TAGALOG MORE FUN!Enjoy!

@Ahkasi Did these come from TDC or somewhere else?

I combined the roots from here with a list i had been working on.
Plus a random list i found online.
I love the dictionary here. But i use Memrise, cause my kids like it.
(trying to help them to learn also)

@Ahkasi do you happen to have them both still in a CSV or txt file? I want to put them in to anki. Now that I'm good on the top2000 I want to get these roots in to the brain.

@AMBoy I have my physical copy. 😁
Not sure what format they are in in Memrise, i just added them.
(computer tech is not my strength)

@Ahkasi Oh wow!
