* The word that was used for the phrase “It is a pleasure to meet you” has the same root but a different prefix, hence its meaning is somewhat different from *ipakilala*

## What was most difficult?
|
|||
|
|
The most difficult part was the new verb.

## What was learnt?
|
|||
|
|
The main theme of the lesson was introducing someone to someone else. It introduces a new verb, *ipinakilala*, but does, unfortunately, not really introduce verb conjugations yet. According to tagalog.com, it appears to be a locative verb (which makes sense, as you are introducing someone _to_ someone else) and the conjugation appears mostly straightforward: —
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Infinitive | Past | Present | Future |
|
|||
|
|

| <mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">ipa</mark><mark style="background: #D2B3FFA6;">root</mark> | <mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">i</mark><mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">p</mark><mark style="background: #FFB86CA6;">in</mark><mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">a</mark><mark style="background: #D2B3FFA6;">root</mark> | <mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">ip</mark><mark style="background: #FFB86CA6;">in</mark><mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">a</mark><mark style="background: #FFB86CA6;">ro</mark><mark style="background: #D2B3FFA6;">root</mark> | <mark style="background: #BBFABBA6;">ipa</mark><mark style="background: #FFB86CA6;">ro</mark><mark style="background: #D2B3FFA6;">root</mark> |

Additionally, it uses the _ko_ form of the first person singular pronoun, not the _ako_. I believe this to be the case with all non-actor focussed verbs, at least it has been this case with all the verbs I have so far come across. Therefore, the person being introduced is in the _ang_ form: <i>Ipinakikilala ko sa iyo <mark style="background: #FFF3A3A6;"><mark style="background: #FFF3A3A6;">ang</mark> aking ama</mark></i>.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
_iyo_ is "to you / yours" and, combined with _sa_, often turns into _sa’yo_ for short. The plural form would be _inyo_.
|
|||
|
|
- _Ipinakikilala ko sa iyo sina Angel, Tony at si Chris, mga kaibigan ko._

|
|
- Introducing-am I to you (person marker plural) Angel, Tony and (person marker singular) Chris, (plural marker) friends mo
