| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Ice: Filipinos generally have a flexible view of time. |
| Brandon: Does that mean Filipinos are often late for meetings, events, and special occasions? |
| Ice: It does. Events in the Philippines usually start late and end later than what was scheduled. Sometimes, Filipinos also have a flexible view of deadlines. |
| Brandon: Meaning that they often ask for extensions with deadlines. |
| Ice: So keep that in mind if you go to the Philippines, listeners! Okay, onto the vocab. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Brandon: Let’s take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Ice: First word is wala. |
| Brandon: This is an adjective that expresses "having nothing" or the "absence" of something. |
| Ice: Wala is an adjective that means "nothing." |
| Brandon: Can you give us an example? |
| Ice: Wala akong pasok ngayon. |
| Brandon: Which is Filipino for "I don’t have class today." How about another example? |
| Ice: Wala siya dito. |
| Brandon: Which means "She's not here." |
| Ice: The next word that we’re going to talk about is the conjunction sila. |
| Brandon: That's the Filipino pronoun for "they" that refers to two or more people, not including the speaker. |
| Ice: It has no gender and can be used for both men and women. |
| Brandon: For example? |
| Ice: Nasaan sila? |
| Brandon: That's "Where are they?" |
| Ice: The last word that we’re going to talk about is the adverb kanina. |
| Brandon: Which is how you say "a little while ago". Can you give us an example? |
| Ice: We can say nandito siya Kanina. |
| Brandon: That's Filipino for "She was here a little while ago." How about another example? |
| Ice: Kami ay kumain doon kanina. |
| Brandon: That is "We ate there a little while ago." Okay, now onto the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
| Brandon: In this lesson you’ll learn how to talk about the location and presence of people and objects in Filipino. What words do we need to know to be able to do this? |
| Ice: We need to learn the three words narito, nariyan, and naroon. |
| Brandon: And, what do those words mean? |
| Ice: The words narito, nariyan, and naroon are the nasa forms of the pronouns ito, iyan, and iyon. |
| Brandon: Respectivly, they mean “here, there, over there” Let’s review the word nasa. |
| Ice: Nasa is the Filipino word that expresses location. So when the pronouns ito, iyan, and iyon are used to express location, they become narito |
| Brandon: here |
| Ice: nariyan, |
| Brandon : there |
| Ice: and naroon. |
| Brandon: "over there" |
| Ice: Exactly! |
| Brandon: So how do we tell the location of people and objects using these words? |
| Ice: We use the sentence pattern (Narito, nariyan, or Naroon + [pronoun or noun]) |
| Brandon: For example let’s say "I’m here." in Filipino. |
| Ice: Narito ako. |
| Brandon: How about "She's there." |
| Ice: Nariyan siya. |
| Brandon: Okay, next is "Ana is over there." |
| Ice: Naroon si Ana. |
| Brandon: Great! Now how do we ask the location or presence of a person? |
| Ice: We'll use the sentence pattern ([narito, nariyan, or naroon] + ba + si + [name of a person]) to ask the location of a person. |
| Brandon: So, How do we say "Is Ana here?"? |
| Ice: That would be Narito ba si Ana? |
| Brandon: Okay, how about the location of an object? |
| Ice: For asking the location of an object, we'll use the sentence pattern ([narito, nariyan, or naroon] + ba + ang + [object]). |
| Brandon: So to say "Is the book there?" it would be |
| Ice: Nariyan ba ang libro? |
