TAGALOG-ENGLISH
TRANSLATION:



Listen to How to Say the

'ng' and 'nga' of the Filipino Alphabet

Unique in Tagalog is ng which as a letter of the alphabet is pronounced as 'nga.' The nga sound may seem difficult at first, but if you can say 'sing along' in English and slur those two words together, you'll have no problem with nga in Tagalog after some practice chopping off 'si' from the beginning and 'long' from the end of 'singalong.'



You may have to turn up the volume.

ngayon
now (today)

ngipin
tooth

nganga
to have the mouth agape

nguso
snout

tingin
a look

pangit
snout

bangus
milkfish





In itself, ng serves as a possessive or genitive marker in Tagalog sentences.
An easy way to look at one of its uses is to see it as meaning 'of' in English.
For example:

balat ng hayop
skin of an animal
(animal's skin)

anak ng babae
child of a woman
(a woman's child)

ulo ng tao
head of a person
(a person's head)
