FIL: Isang panghalip na pananong na ginagamit upang magtanong tungkol sa bagay, pangyayari, o pagkakakilanlan.
EN: what
The Swiss Army knife of Filipino questions. It means 'what?', but it can also mean 'huh?', 'what did you say?', 'what's that thing called again?', or the passive-aggressive 'so... what now?'. It's the start of every chismis ('Ano'ng nangyari?') and every confused moment ('Ano daw?').
From Proto-Philippine *anu.
One of the most fundamental words in Tagalog. Can be combined with markers like "ang" (ano'ng), "ito" (ano'ng 'to), etc. Its meaning can change dramatically based on intonation.
