@BoraMac Like in Spanish, in Italian (I use the Spanish version of my Italian name whenever I can) there are two verbs for *to be*, the present tense goes as follows - personal pronouns in brackets, they are used only when needed to add stress:
(io) sono / sto
(tu) sei / stai: Come stai?
(lui) è / sta
(noi) siamo / stiamo
(voi) siete / state
(loro) sono / stanno
(0) I could not find it elsewhere on the site and hope it is ok to ask here:
(1) Is there a distinct verb for to be in Tagalog? From the very little Indonesian that I know (I dare guess it is a sister language) in Indonesian there is not: kumusta ka? is apa kabar?
What is this? is Apa ini?
(2) In case there is, could you - or anyone willing to do so - write it out for me? It would be the ideal occasion to "meet" both the Tagalog personal pronouns and the verb from which I like to start any new language.
Many thanks in advance!
