Tagalog Diary — 2022-04-27
Kumusta! Nag-aral ako sa aking final exam sa araw na ito. I was, therefore, unable to study a lot of Tagalog, since I believe my final exam to be more important. Nevertheless, I wanted to study at least a little; so let’s go!

- not to be confused with alála and related words (“memory”, “recollection”)
What was most difficult?
The lesson was pretty straightforward, although I am still a bit confused regarding the usage of yung. I will have to ask about that.
What was learnt or done?
I did not really do a lot today and did not really have the time to write an extensive diary entry. This is due to the fact that I had to study for my final exam, as I already mentioned in the introduction at the top. However, I did manage to finish lesson 19, which talks mainly about how to ask someone whether or not they’re alright. It also introduces mga as a plural marker, but I had already known about that before. And lastly, it introduces the verb mag-alala, “to worry“.
