Why is it different? The different is: who is performing the action and who is receiving it. Lutoa ang karne. Cook the meat. The focus is often on the subject. ==> THE MEAT Labhi ang bestida. Wash the dress. The focus is often on the action. ==> WASH
To clarify, the verb is usually conjugated using the verb +a (or ha) if the object of the sentence (the thing being cooked or read) is the focus of the command (basaha, lutoa). Some verbs (clean, wash) are conjugated using verb +i (or hi) for the same situation as above (limpyohi, labhi). Those verbs are the exception rather than the rule. Usually verb +i are for "beneficial" focus (for us, for Manny). So if we wanted to say Read "Mom" the book, that would be Basahi si Mama sa libro.
We start to learn about exceptions. Very good clarification you mention here. This is where it gets interesting !! And this is what we need to know which forms are appropriate for a given situation. Salamat kaayo sa imong komento!!!
