/ka/
FIL: Isang panghalip panao sa ikalawang panauhan na isahan. Ito ang anyo ng "ikaw" na ginagamit pagkatapos ng pandiwa o sa gitna ng pangungusap.
EN: you (singular)
This is the "you" that's always in the middle of the action. It's the clingy version of "ikaw." You can't start a sentence with "ka," but it's everywhere else. "Kumain ka na?" (Have you eaten?) is the national anthem of Filipino care, and "ka" is the star of that show. It's short, sweet, and gets the job done.
From Proto-Philippine *ka, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kaw.
Used in place of "ikaw" when it does not start the sentence. It is one of the most common words in Tagalog.

🇺🇸 I'm happy for you, you are important to me.
