Hi,Jay: in your example," ito ang mga gamit niya"= "these are his things"; Can i say :1."ang mga ito ang gamit niya"? or 2. "ang mga ito ang mga gamit niya" or 3."ang mga ito ay ang gamit niya" or 4 "ang mga ito ay ang mga gamit niya"? to means the same? since i put two "ang" or "mga" in the sentence; which sentences i wrote are correct? i think they are all correct, right?

[@letsgotagalog3748]

The correct one is: “Ang mga ito AY ang mga gamit niya”
Here’s the breakdown:
• Ang MGA ito (These)
• ay (is/are)
• ang MGA gamit (the thingS / the belongingS)
• niya (his/her or belongs to him/belongs to her)
The SINGULAR version is: “Ito ay ang gamit niya”
Here’s the breakdown:
• Ito (This)
• ay (is)
• ang gamit (the thing / the belonging)
• niya (his/her or belongs to him/belongs to her)
Keep on learning. Cheers!

Hi Jay, when someone uses "sino ba sila?" (nosi balasi) is this just a stronger version?

[@letsgotagalog3748]

Let’s start with this:
• Sino sila?
• Who are they?
Add the enclitic particle BA for emphasis:
• Sino BA sila?
This can mean:
• Who the hell are they?
• Who do they think they are?
Not only this a strong version, it’s offensive. It questions the other person’s worth.
And “nosi balasi” is just saying the words in reverse as in that Pinoy rock song. We don’t normally say it except when (maybe) one wants to sound cool.
Let’s run down the pronouns:
• Sino BA ako?
• Who do you think I am?
• Sino ka BA?
• Who the hell are you?
• Who do you think you are?
(note: it’s the pronoun “ka” followed by BA, which is the reverse order of the rest of the pronouns)
• Sino BA kami? (exclusive)
• Who do you think we are?
• Sino BA tayo? (inclusive)
• Who do you think we are? We’re better than them. (depends on context)
• Who do you think we are? We’re no better than them. (depends on context)
• Sino BA kayo?
• Who the hell are you all?
• Who do you all think we are?
• Sino BA siya?
• Who the hell is he/she?
• Who does he/she think he/she is?

@@letsgotagalog3748 aha, that's good to know and not to use it to avoid offense

[@walkerinworld]

Good day sir. Can I also say "Sino ba siya?" too? Because when I lived in the Philippines I used to say in that way.

[@letsgotagalog3748]

You can, but be wary. The question has the enclicitic particle BA, which, when inserted into a sentence, acts as an emphatic question marker.
Consider…
• SINO SIYA?
• Who is he/she?
This is more causal and “harmless”
BUT….
• SINO BA SIYA?
• Who does he/she think he/she is?
• Who the hell is he/she?
Unless you are up for fight, you can stick with “Sino siya?"
Hope this helps.
