/ki-na-ta-ta-YU-an/
FIL: Ang lugar o pwesto kung saan nakatayo ang isang tao o bagay.
EN: location
Literally, the ground beneath your feet. "Alamin mo ang lugar na kinatatayuan mo" can mean "Know where you are physically," but more often it's a passive-aggressive way of saying "Know your place, girl." It’s your current location, both geographically and in the social/corporate food chain. Are you standing on solid ground or on thin ice?
From the root word `tayo` (stand). The `kina-an` affixation with a duplicated first syllable of the root (`ta-tayo`) points to the location where the action of standing is currently happening, thus becoming the name for that location.
Can function as a noun (the place itself) or a verb (the act of standing on that place), but is most commonly used as a noun referring to a place or position.
