EN: maybe; perhaps; I think
The official word for when you're not sure, but you're gonna say it anyway. It's the verbal equivalent of a shrug emoji (🤷). "Darating siya ata." means "Maybe they'll come, maybe they won't, let's not get our hopes up but let's still prepare the chismis." It's your escape clause in any statement.
Colloquial shortening of 'yata'.
A very common conversational particle. Often used to soften a statement or express a personal guess.
