Question: why does the phrase “new day” use the adjective pa

What do you mean? "Bagong araw" is also used. Would somebody know the answer, though?

Panibago = “pani” + “bago”Panibukas = “pani” + “bukas” Panibagong araw literally means the restarting of a new day . Also can be the emerging day but “new day” is what we say in English , this is why I disagree with using direct translations. Learn what “pani” means and you will understand it

Seems like the difference between new, and anew.

@AMBoy Correct

Another good translation “Panibagong araw” = “A fresh day”. Pwede rin 😅

@Jody60 Often “brand new” is a close English translation…Youtube channel Jamill opens their videos with this tagline…“Panibagong araw, panibagong katarantaduhan na naman, mga kaigan.”
“A brand new day, and brand new foolishness again, kaigan (name for their viewers)…”
