EN: it is as if; seems to be
This is just the contracted form of "animo ay." It's a smoother, more poetic way to connect "animo" to the next word. Think of it as the literary equivalent of mashing words together in a text message, but for sounding elegant. "Animo'y pangarap" flows better than "animo ay isang pangarap."
Contraction of "animo ay" (it seems is).
ROOT MEANING: it seems; as if; like
A purely literary and formal contraction. You will almost never hear this in casual conversation.
