/na-ri-ri-YAN/
FIL: Isang anyo ng 'nariyan' na nagbibigay-diin sa tiyak na pagkakaroon o kinalalagyan ng isang bagay o tao sa lugar na malapit sa kausap.
EN: is right there (near listener)
It's like 'nariyan' but with extra feelings. When you're on a video call and you ask your friend, 'Where's the cat?' and they point just off-screen and say, '**Naririyan** lang, natutulog.' It means 'right there,' with a little more emphasis, as if to say 'see? I told you.'
From na- + ri- (reduplication) + iyan (that, near you). A more emphatic form of 'nariyan'.
ROOT MEANING: there (near the listener)
'Naririyan' is used for something near the person being spoken to. It's more emphatic than 'nariyan'. It's the intermediate point between 'narito' (here by me) and 'naroroon' (over there, far from both of us).
