FIL: Nagpapahiwatig ng pagkakaroon o presensya sa lugar na kinalalagyan o malapit sa kausap.
EN: is there (near you)
This is what you tell someone on the phone when they can't find something right in front of them. 'Yung susi? **Nariyan** lang sa mesa. Buksan mo mata mo!' It means 'it's there, by you, you blind bat.' It points to the listener's location.
From na- + riyan (variant of diyan, there near you). 'riyan' is used when the preceding word ends in a vowel, but 'nariyan' has become a fixed form.
ROOT MEANING: there (near the listener)
'Nariyan' refers to a location near the listener (the person being spoken to). It's the more formal version of 'nandiyan'.
