Answer 31

Question 32

He can't decide

Answer 32

Hindi siya makapagpasiya ** “Makapagpasiya” is a verb formed from the root “pasiya” (decide) with the prefix “maka-” and the infix ”-pag-”. These affixes turn the root into a verb that means “to be able to decide.” The ”-siya” at the end of “makapagpasiya” is simply part of the whole verb and does not relate to the pronoun “siya” (he/she/they). The prefix “maka-” in Tagalog is used to form verbs that express ability, potential, or propensity. It can also convey a sense of benefiting or being in favor of something. When attached to a root word, it modifies the verb to indicate that someone can do something or is able to achieve a certain condition. Here are a few examples of how “maka-” is used: 1. Makakain (from the root word “kain”, meaning “eat”) - Can eat, is able to eat. 2. Makatulog (from the root word “tulog”, meaning “sleep”) - Can sleep, is able to sleep. 3. Makalakad (from the root word “lakad”, meaning “walk”) - Can walk, is able to walk. 4. Makapagpasiya (from the root word “pasiya”, meaning “decide”) - Can decide, is able to decide. This prefix is often used in contexts where the emphasis is on the capability or suitability of the subject to perform the verb’s action.

Question 38

Do you believe me? I can not believe it

Answer 38

Naniniwala ka ba sa akin? hindi ako makapaniwala * naniniwala - to believe

Question 39

Shall we go out?

Answer 39

Dapat ba tayong lumabas? ** Here’s why “lumabas” is used in this context: - Modality: The phrase queries the advisability or possibility of the action of going out. - Infinitive form: “Lumabas” here is not marking a specific tense but is used in its basic, unconjugated form, combining with the modal verb “dapat” (should) to suggest a contemplated action. So, in “Dapat ba tayong lumabas?” the verb “lumabas” is used in its infinitive form as part of a modal expression questioning the propriety or necessity of going out.
